Who invented Angelique?
« on: April 15, 2008, 06:57:25 PM »
Does anyone know who came up with the initial idea of the character? She was such an important part of the storyline, I don't recall reading who was involved. Was this something that came together by comittee, with someone like DC  requesting a witch and the writers developing the idea?

It probably was Sam Hall & Gordon Russell in early fall 1967 when they were outlining the 1795 storyline.  They needed a reason for Barnabas being a vampire, so they came up with a witch character to curse him.

Sam Hall wrote the first script in which Angelique appears, and spoke of having created her among other characters for the show in an interview segment he did for one of the DVDs.

The idea of Barnabas becoming one of the Living Dead because of a Witch's curse was probably Dan Curtis' idea, though--he seems to have had a lot of strong opinions about where the show should go and even very detailed things about what should happen.
