The name Ted Dorgan kept nagging at me. When I figured out why, it made me wonder if the name was was coincidence or deliberate reference. *Tad* Dorgan was a well-known San Francisco cartoonist who, among other claims to fame, coined the phrase "hard-boiled".

Sounds like an interesting movie. I shall have to recommend it to Kestrell, as a possible discussion topic for her Gothic scholars group.
