[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 444275, member: 57984"] Oh, the haunted murder cabin in upstate New York the Petries visited... And perhaps 1964 "Three Wishes for Opie" (although it's not set in a haunted house). And while B&W are usually preferable, why does THE GHOST & MISTER CHICKEN and the mansion-free THE BIRDS still work in color?? In TGAMC, the tones and shadings are part of the creepy charm. I think organic earthtones add to a domestic flavor which invite the audience to "live in" a thing. The housing interiors from the early years of DALLAS and the first three seasons of FALCON CREST help makes those shows' living spaces cozy and therefore three-dimensional inside the brains of the audience. (And as the scripting deteriorated, the sets lightened up and began to look like what they were: studio sets). DYNASTY never had cozy sets (except perhaps for Blake's library) and KNOTS LANDING was never about a nuclear family to begin with. But those series never had the simple, creepy color schemes (nor the same film stock) of THE GHOST & MISTER CHICKEN or THE BIRDS.
