Current Talk '23 I / Re: hoDS/NoDS DVD Release?

I wonder whether any Cousins out there remember Crowhaven Farm (1970), an ABC Movie of the Week starring Hope Lange, Paul Burke (from Valley of the Dolls), Cyril Delevanti (Night of the Iguana), Patricia Barry (also appeared in Boris Karloff's Thriller I believe) and the fabulous Virginia Gregg (brililiant in "Mr. George" from Thriller and also played the voice of Norman's Mother in Psycho!). Thanks to the kindness of a friend who owns a VHS of the movie from an airing on some channel called "Plex" I got to see Crowhaven Farm again recently. The style and presentation of the flashbacks of the Hope Lange character's past life in 17th century Brampton, Mass. strongly reminded me of Quentin's flashback experiences in NoDS. I spotted a couple of other things that DC seems to have copied in Burnt Offerings a few years later.
It did make me wonder whether Sam and DC were watching closely when this movie aired in 1970... particularly given how fast they had to pull a fresh screenplay together when Frid turned down doing the DS feature film sequel late in '70 or early in '71 (I would guess that this came down when he walked off the set late in '70).
