These people not only looked the parts, they projected EXACTLY the personalities of the original serial characters. The only quibble I had with the film was that I thought they should have kept the Earth scenes back in the 30's... I think doing it as a period peice would have made it more of a lark... "[The audiance] will populate the darkness with more horrors than all the horror writers in Hollywood could think of. If you make the screen dark enough, the mind's eye will read anything into it you want! We're great ones for the dark patches." -VAL LEWTON

They took the end from the third Crabbe serial. Those who make this assertion remind of those who reject Adam West. Those people must review a certain nobleman connected to J. Sheridan Le Fanu's posts about how the Adam West show adaptated tales right from the source.

Good stuff. He's a National Treasure. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006tnv3
