Discuss - Ep #0294

I found my copy and rewatched it and there are an amazing amount of similarities between the characters, plot and Dark Shadows.  There is a door in one of the rooms in the movie that is just like the one under the stairs in the foyer.

Thanks, Janet!

Has there been any discussion about just how Sarah could have led Maggie from Windcliff all the way to the Blue Whale?  Windcliff is supposedly 100 miles from Collinsport, quite a distance for anyone to hike in heels.  Did they go to the Greyhound depot and catch a bus?  Or how about a train?  If so, did Sarah qualify for the child's fare?  Did they hitch a ride?  Or was Sarah able to zap both of them instantly back to Collinsport? 

I'm wondering how this missing scene might have gone -- lots of possibilities!  If they walked the hundred miles, perhaps that might explain Maggie's dramatic collapse in the BW.

Hitch-hiked maybe.  DS becomes more and more littered with characters travelling long distances on foot, only we're expoected not to think about that, I guess.

In the original outline for ep, Maggie and Sarah did hitchhike and were picked up by some guy in a truck - but none of that made it into the finished show. Who knows why? But it's certainly possible that it would have cost too much to use a truck or part of a truck, even if it was simply shot in the studio with techs shaking the truck like they often did with the cars. And if it cost too much, well, we know DC would have vetoed it.
