Echoes 1990

In January 1988, Hollywood filmmaker Steve Muscarella optioned the film rights to Lawrence C. Connolly’s “Echoes,” a story that had originally appeared in Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone Magazine in February 1983. The Victory Theatre of Encino, California, signed to produce the film.

Between its original publication and the release of the film, Connolly’s story remained in print by appearing in a number of retrospective anthologies, among them Year’s Best Horror Stories, HorrorStory 4, and 100 Great Short-Short Stories.

The film débuted at the Chaplin Theatre in Hollywood on June 14, 1990.

Steve Muscarella went on to direct for the hit television series Kirk (1995-97).

This Way to Egress

Shortly before his untimely death in May 2002, British filmmaker Charly Cantor produced a final draft of a screenplay adaptation of Connolly’s short story (v.t. “Traumatic Descent).

The film was under option for a number of years, and for a while David Slade anticipated directing the film.

A complete account of this project will appear in the essay “Ingress,” forthcoming in the Ash-Tree Press collection This Way to Egress.
