    Well whatdja know, a precursor to my never-to-be-written Friends/Saw crossover fanfic.

    That Girl wears the curtains.

    Man, this is a total ripoff of that time that Jane Eyre landed on Gilligan’s Island.
    (And hilarity ensued.)

    I am actually slightly intrigued: was this a whole series of stories about our somewhat clueless protagonist stumbling into literary works and shaking things up with her early 70s attitude?

    (Perhaps I hope for too much).

    GSS, @Tor Mented

    Also in the cast with Marlo should be William Schallert, Burt Mustin, Clint Howard and Doug McClure.

    They should update this book series.
    Looking forward to “That Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”

    @Cornelius – But do the curtains match her rug?

    I never thought her catchphrase “Oh Donald!” Would be so popular 50 years later.

    A TV tie-in… but yeah it does sound like a horror novel. Presumably the evil is thwarted by those pesky kids and their big goofy dog.

    Donald was a histrionic dream-crushing twit, and That Girl should have dumped his bland yet controlling ass early on. C’mon, she’s a cute gal in showbiz in NYC in the early 70s! She could have done better.

    @Tor: GSS!

    @fred: Perfect.

    @daard23: Good to see you again.

    Would it sound catty to pointy out that “that girl” can’t possibly have gone gothic if she’s smiling a warm smile rather than pouting icily and isn’t wearing fishnets?

    If we’ve learned just one important lesson from this website we nerdishly adore, it’s that some GSS rules are meant to be broken, and this is a very fine example of such.

    Horrified… but just… can’t… look… away.
