Dan: Boy I would have loved to have seen that. And, yeah, I agree about the age shift. It works on the episode but I like the poignancy of it more in your stage version.

Peg: It’s a long overdue rant, to be sure.

Hah. Fun that you chose that one. I directed “Nothing in the Dark” for a Twilight Zone Theatre Festival a few years back. We did the script verbatim, and it brought tears to people’s eyes. It’s really well written for a stage play, actually. Three actors, one small room….
The only change, actually, was that she didn’t turn into her young self at the end. I kind of liked it better that way, anyhow.

Haha, I was going to go off on a Syfy vs SciFi rant in my original comment and thought better of it. I guess we’re of the same opinion on that!

Sounds like we were watching the same TV set.

Although… I’ve never seen Dark Shadows, but it’s always been on my list of “Gee, I ought to watch that sometime.”

I heard a commentator recently comparing Dark Shadows to the new Twilight series, discussing how they shared the same soap opera level vampire angst — also along with True Blood. Not sure I buy that, but…

I forgot SyFy (sure wish they were still SciFi, but that’s a topic for another post) did a marathon. I’m hoping there’ll be one somewhere this weekend.

While others look forward to New Year’s eve for the parties and the celebrating… I look forward to the Twilight Zone marathon on Syfy channel.

When I was a youngin… it was Twilight Zone, Dark Shadows, Star Trek, Wild Wild West and the ever so cheezy Lost in Space!

Yep, what can I say?
