So, there's nothing on tv today; there's a tape my father-in-law had taped/mailed me a few mos. ago, I said, why not.
When I opened the package....HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS!!
I believe I've seen parts of it once; didn't really remember it.
First...the beginning...sensory overload!!
You hear the 'regular' music, and you see TLATKLS, but....it's in a 'different' place....aaahhh!!! (Beautiful set.)
Not too long in it, I genuinely thought of our Mysterious Benefactor; when he was a lad seeing this in the movie theatre, did he have to waste his 50 cents on a bag of popcorn (I'm presuming that when he saw Jeff Clark with Maggie, he must've hurled!!!
Let's see...WHERE WAS MRS JOHNSON???
faux housekeeper...yuck!
At the end, I watched the credits...uh, somehow I missed seeing Terry Crawford. I did see HAA and Jerry Lacy (yeah!!)
I hope this has been terribly, terribly edited through the years, cause, uh, well, I've seen better. You'd be meeting Barn for the first time, poof! next scene, Carolyn is saying, "Shouldn't the guest of honor be ready for his party?" Okay, I guess we're giving long lost cuz a howdy-dowdy party???
I have vague memories of Carolyn, David playing handball in 'the old swimming pool'. (Funny, I don't remember a swimming pool, yet alot of good fan-fic mentions it.) I also remember Barn turning old, but these are the only parts I remember.
Still, it was cool to see.
It was great; a DS movie, lots of Valentine's chocolate, hey, how cool
