I don't know, Josette. I remember as a yungin' watching the big reveal of what was in the room at the climax and all I could figure out that a spook and two cobweb-covered bodies were the big deals that caused people to die or either go insane and I though "is that all there is?" I'm not sure, now looking at it in a more "mature" mind if it was a good explanation even considering the limitations in storytelling at that time. I also clearly remember wondering where '41 PT Quentin, a major character, was, not knowing, of course, that David Selby was in a hospital emergency room at that time having his appendix removed. I hope ABC included a good health insurance plan for its employees and he got in just under the wire before the entire cast was "laid off" and replaced by Allen Lunden.
Yes, that Leviathan monster. What could they have come up with to make it truly terrifying? It would've cost a fortune But sometimes the spent a little to create something incredibly scary. The ghost of Jeremiah really creeped me out. It was a bunch of food-coloring bloody bandages with some paper mache, but the scene where he captured Angelique and carried her away to bury her alive so frightened me (I was, after all, a kid) that I hid behind a rocking chair and watched it with hands over my eyes, occasionally separating them to see what was happening and then closing them up again.
