As I honed the dialogue, it grew increasingly reminiscent of the symbolist poets who were inspired by Poe -- particularly Rainer Marie Rilke (1875-1926). Somehow this seemed appropriate. In fact, the more Rilke I put in it, the spookier it got.
The audio play is inspired by the film, rather than adapted from it. It is a separate artistic (I hope) work, just as Joyce's Ulysses is separate from Homer's Odyssey. Still, after subsequent viewings of the original 1919 silent, I am struck with how much of it ended up in the audio version -- a tribute to its evocative power. Silent film makes good audio -- if you can make people see in the way that the movie makes people hear. Audio drama is essentially visual. Its evocative power depends on the creators' ability to excite pix in the listeners' imaginations. Hence, I brag with justification that my sets, costumes, make-up, lighting and special effects run rings around anything that Spielberg, Lucas, Disney, et al., can cobble together on celluloid.
