"The House" was performed as a radio play, which gave the producer and performers great latitude in the casting
and performance of their roles. The original teleplay, as written by Art Wallace in the 1950's, was essentially the
Jason McGuire storyline later used in Dark Shadows. Only major differences were that the matriarch was Carolyn
(Marie Wallace) her teenage daughter was named Elizabeth and Elizabeth had a teenage beau (David Selby, playing a character
reminiscent of a younger Joe Haskell) There was even an analog of the Willie Loomis character, seafaring buddy of
the Jason McGuire analog (played by Jamison Selby, who also played the Sheriff later in the play). The Jason McGuire
analog was played to the hilt by John Karlen, with an Irish brogue probably meant as a tip of the hat to the late Dennis
Patrick. Rounding out the cast were Denise Nickerson as a little girl taking piano lessons from Carolyn and Lara Parker
as the girl's mother.
These pictures were shot with my Minolta, using an SRT-102 body with an 80-200 zoom and ASA 1600 film. Oddly enough the
light on stage in THIS hotel was much better, so being I was shooting from the thrid row and did not need the 2X entender
on the zoom, some shots were more overexposed than I would wish.
