Cape Fear
North Carolina headland
Cape Fear is a prominent headland on the coast of North Carolina, where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The name, suggesting danger and dread, has made it evocative for fiction—most notably the 1962 film and its 1991 remake about a vengeful ex-convict terrorizing a family.
The Cape Fear region refers to the surrounding coastal area of southeastern North Carolina.
