Interesting. But I would guess that despite what is said in the article, the song was written from seeing the movie HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS either in the theater or on television. Our show, as we all know, never ran in the UK until the 1990s, on a "satellite" version of Sci-Fi, if I recall correctly. (The article references the artist being taken to England as a five year old--his mother was a horror fan.)
I tried to listen to this song once years ago but was unable to get through it. I am obviously not the intended audience.
