Back in the day when Tobe lived in Austin and was working on Eggshells, I knew several of the people who worked on the film, both on camera and behind the scenes. The house Tobe used to shoot the film was located on F Street and the working title was F Street Blues. At the end of the film is a series of stop-action shots of one of the downstairs rooms as it is being painted - a kind of living mural which turns black on-screen. Very avant-garde for the time. Horror is not my genre and I had always hoped Tobe would go on to create more films like Eggshells - even asked him once when he was going to make a film I could watch. In a strange twist of fate, the man I subsequently married was living in that room when I met him in 1975 and the walls and ceiling were still black!
