Maybe it is a big play on parody, or possibly it was done this was or an audience who favors offbeat types of shows. There are no facts to prove it is one way or the other.

However, the beauty of this film is in visual recreation of the gothic dream sequences that Catherine has in the film, but not in the novel.
