Has anyone ever heard of "The House" before?  That really sounds intriguing.  I always thought DS was a completely original idea thought up by Dan Curtis and fleshed out by Art Wallace.

Not so. Wallace based much of the original idea for DS on his teleplay for The House, which is about a reclusive woman named Caroline, whose husband had been missing for years, and her daughter Elizabeth. (Wallace simply switched the characters' names for DS - and changed Caroline to Carolyn.  ) I've only read bits and pieces about it, though, so I'm not sure if Caroline also believed she'd murdered her husband. But I suppose we'll find out at the Fest...

Nothing about DS is original . .. not one thing. . well some of the actor's approaches but the plots. . old stuff recycled for a new generation --pretty much what Hollywood is doing now and since we're older, we're flumoxed but the young folk--it's all new to them.
