after retiring from show biz, Mathews & his lover lived right here in SF CA,.
They lived in an area called Buena Vista Park, right near Haight Ashbury.
Here they were able to live openly as a gay couple, which they could not do in the Hollywood of the 60s & 70s.
I still have my MPI VHS of A Darkness at Blaisdon, briefly available some 15 years ago.
It's superbly creepy!
Sam Hall wrote it, Lela Swift directed, the DS score is used, and both Thayer David & Louis Edmonds played supporting roles.
I hope it gets a DVD release.
RIP, Kerwin.
