Julianna McCarthy, for me, provided the ONLY noteworthy performance in the 1991 revival series--apart from Barbara Steele's Julia. I thought McCarthy's understated malevolence helped give some bite to the threat to Vicki from the witch hunters--I frankly found Roy Thinnes so over-the-top as to be laughable in his work as Trask (and were those eyebrows REALLY the preserved flattened millipedes they appeared to be???). I'm sure the directors are to blame (and most like DC is to blame most of all) since several people I have seen do excellent work in other venues were either way off-the-hook or just plain bad here.
cheers, G.
