It's been on so many times and I find it incredible so few have heard or seen.

I remember the stars. I've loved Melissa Gilbert since Little House on the Prairie. I feel as if we grew up together...although, she'd have to be my younger sister. lol! And I've loved Bruce Boxlightener since How THE WEST WAS WON. I was so disappointed to see him as a villain, even though he did an exceptional job. I also loved VERTIGO because I adore James/Jimmy Stewart!

I know what a huge fan of Michael Landan you were so you, like me, probably have some trouble associating Melissa Gilbert to such a role. But she did it. If ever you get the chance to watch House of Secrets, please do. I'll let you know. I remember sneaking peeks into my aunt's Hitchcock books that were forever on her coffee table. We were allowed to watch the movies, but back then, television was quite edited and young minds did not always pick up on the true meaning of his stories. Maybe just as well.

Loved it! We had to beg our mother to sit up and watch Afred Hitchcock movies since they were sooooo scary!<br /><br />I can see how "Mask Of The Betrayer" could be similar. The woman is running and the villian gives chase. Horrors!<br /><br />Your talent for description can really work on the mind, girlfriend.
