McTrooper,
Thanks for the kind words. That’s an interesting point you make about Freddy Kruger and the dreams that kill. If those Freddy Kruger films had been made during the late 1960s, I think the late, great Dan Curtis might have “borrowed” that original idea for DS.
When you get to the DS episodes covering the summer of 1970 and the appearance of Gerard and Daphne, the two ghosts (sort of like Quentin and Beth previously), be sure to have some No-Doze ready to help you get through those somewhat soporific episodes.
As to Cassandra’s spell on poor Mrs. Stoddard, even after Nicholas Blair had been summoned back “down
below” for messing up the Adam and Eve super race for Satan scheme and Cassandra/Angelique had also been sent somewhere (Hades or the past?), I couldn’t understand why Mrs. Stoddard was still under that dreadful spell?
You would think that Mrs. Stoddard would have no longer been under that awful spell. In fact, the terrible,
unrelenting fear that Mrs: Stoddard was experiencing, reminded me of someone suffering from depression and generalized anxiety disorder.
I know that Dr. Hoffman was trying to alleviate Mrs. Stoddard’s unrelenting angst, but I guess Dr. Hoffman never had any medical school trading in trying to treat someone suffering from extreme anxiety as a result of a witch’s curse.
In fact, I’ve always thought that Julia Hoffman was far more successful in treating gunshot and stabbing wounds, and also in conducting mad scientist experiments, than she ever was in treating people with serious emotional/mental problems as a trained psychiatrist.
It’s almost too painful to watch Mrs. Stoddard continue to suffer with that black emotional cloud over her
head. Casssndra must have been one particularly nasty harridan to make Mrs. Stoddard suffer
for so long. I was glad to see aMrs. Stoddard finally snap out of that blue funk, when Carolyn was being threatened by the werewolf.
