Saltair has occasionally been used as a backdrop for movies. Key scenes of the 1962 horror film "Carnival of Souls" were shot in Saltair II. The opening scene of the 1990 film "The Giant Brine Shrimp" was set in Saltair and the lake. The 1993 film "Josh and S.A.M." features a scene at the then dilapidated Saltair III, showing the exterior and interior. A 1960s photo of Saltair II was featured on the cover of the bootleg Beach Boys album "Unsurpassed Masters, Vol. 19."
