Current Talk '02 II / The All-Too-Tragic Curiosity Of Mr. Wells
« on: September 06, 2002, 02:15:50 AM »
Hey gang,
That was awful to see how good old Mr. Wells met his Maker today. The blood gushing from his eye was, perhaps, one of the most graphic death sequences ever seen on Dark Shadows. However, those blue and red streaks on his face reminded me of magic marker streaks on his kisser. (They also reminded me of the Crayola Crayons that we all undoubtedly used as kids in grade school.)
Mr. Wells' death left an indelible impression on me when I first saw this gruesome episode back in 1968 as a young kid. You know, I almost wish the scene could have played out like this:
The sound of deep moans, chains rattling and furniture being tossed about the room emanate from the Collinsport Inn attic storeroom. Mr. Wells cautiously approaches the door to the room.
"Mr. Jennings, are you alright in there?"
"What? Oh yeah, I'm okay"
"Is there anything that I can get you, Mr. Jennings?"
"Yeah, Mr. Wells. You can get me some whipped cream, some maraschino cherries and a bottle of Mazola oil."
"Is there anything else I can get you Mr. Jennings?"
"Well, if isn't too much trouble, could you get me a videotape of 'Nine And A Half Weeks'?"
"Sure thing, Mr. Jennings. I'll be right back in a jiffy!"
