Ian Martin wrote an aberrant vampire tale. Here we have John Masters (played by Gordon Gould), a lone wolf scientist who spent too much time on education and spent less time on love. He moves into a remote country house where the housekeeper, Martha Denton (played by Mary Jane Higby), tells him the back story of the house & the maze outside. The back story took place 10 years ago when Mr. Mayer (played by Ian Martin) had a daughter named Stella Mayer (played by Rosemary Rice) who fell in love with Rom Gitano (played by Robert Maxwell) who served the Mayer's home. The 2 lovebirds would sneak into the maze and show affection to each other. The father disliked this, so he fired Rom. Rom sneaks into Stella's room and asks her to steal the money from the family safe so they could build a relationship in the near future. She does so, but her father shoots and kills Rom. Rom's last dying words were the language of a gypsy curse. Stella became emotionally damaged, got psychiatric care, and ended up with Anemia (a decrease in amount of red blood cells, resulting in weariness and death). Stella's body was buried in the center temple of the maze. Her body was removed, but no one knows where. But on the night of a full moon, John Masters sees Stella and they embrace the darkness with kisses. He fell in love with her as she sucked the life out him while flying in the air and then drops him to his death. Father Dan, (played by Ian Martin again), Dr. Paul Holland (played by Robert Maxwell again), and Martha Denton notice Stella's body is back in her burial and John Masters's blood is completely gone. The Title of this should've been called "The Revenant" because that's exactly what Stella Mayer was; a supernatural being that returns from the dead. E.G. Marshall gets your attention in the first half of the story with his Prologue and adding the suspense where the natural becoming the supernatural. However, in the second half of the story along with his Epilogue, his narration kind of trailed off. I give props to our 5 actors in this, for they made their natural & supernatural characters believable. The sound effects of the cups clinking, the footsteps, coffee pouring, the crows, the door ajar, the crickets of the night, window tapping, the money safe opening, the gunshots, birds chirping, lifting the coffin lid, the hollowing wind, and Gordon Gould's scream at the 44-minute 40-second mark were a nice touch. As for the music, there was good violin music playing as the melancholy theme for the main character at the beginning. There was also dramatic tunes in every Act, but for a bloodsucking story such as this, it needed more frightening tunes. Check out Ep. #0034-THE DEADLY HOUR and listen to the bone-chilling tunes from the 43-minute 56-second mark. If you take that piece of music and place it into this episode, it would give you goosebumps.
