Lovely capture today. And I remember, MB, that you said today's is your favorite line in the film. Because Barnabas was finally about to be united with his Josette after all his horrors.
By some strange coincidence, on Wednesday night I watched episode 281 (script by Joe Caldwell, who I really think was one of the best writers for the show), which starts out with the seance at the costume party, at the point where Vicki has been possessed by Josette. Later in this episode there's a scene where Barnabas goes to Josette's room (where little Sarah has been carefully laying out her own party frock). Barnabas broods over the past (via voiceover). And in a passage I'd completely forgotten which resumes the theme of Barn's first visit to the ruined Old House at the start of his storyline, Barnabas decides that he needs a woman of this time, not the ghost of Josette. "So never come back... any of you!" he admonishes the silent room with its unseen spirits.
Of course, in the longer scheme of the series arc, Barnabas was far from being done with Josette. But Frid played the scene wonderfully well and it was a strong moment for that particular episode and story sequence.
