I wore a full length, black wool, hooded cape instead of a winter coat all through high school. But that was more in homage to "Dracula's Daughter" than "Dark Shadows".

I was a strange child.

I had a thing like that called the Monster Maker. You had molds that you would pour this goo in and it would heat up and then cool to make various creepy things like skulls, bugs etc.

But when we were kids, we also played who-murdered-Barbie

Wow, that reminded me of a game I used to play...mame the little green Army guys! I used to give them to the dog and see what creative ways he could kill them. LOL! Hey, is it me, or are we all starting to sound like a bunch of Wednesday and Pugsley Adams clones!

It was either Vac-U-Form or Monster Maker, and I'm leaning towards Monster Maker, but that was back in '69, so the memory's fuzzy.  But I also do remember Incredible Edible!  They don't make stuff like that anymore.  Do they still have Easy-Bake Ovens?  You could make like one small cupcake in them, a lightbulb providing the heat.  Our neighbor (the one who's Barbie always got murdered) had one.

How to make your home like Collinwood (and/or The Old House):

Never lock your front door.

Take off all the screens from your windows.

Dedicate one room in the house as the "closed off room," making sure candles are always lit in there.

Install a secret passageway.

Hang plenty of portraits of people you don't know.

Install a wobbly bannister that shakes whenever someone touches it.

Always have a roaring fire, even in the middle of summer.

Periodically wander around the grounds in the middle of the night. Make sure to set up fake trees and shrubs you can knock over.

Let out an ear-splitting scream every so often.

I thought we were getting a new forum but when I logged in after cleaning out my browser ((;-)), it still says new forum is on its way.  What gives?

Anyway, I live in a coach home in a secluded (my Uncle calls it isolated) area with a sort of a nature center out back with a creek, big dark cottonwood trees, tall waving grasses and assorted wild life.  Sometimes in the evening just before dark, its kind of foggy looking and I can't see the single family homes off in the distance, I imagine a supernatural creature is back there waiting for me to step out on to the patio.  Brrr.  I love that type of atmosphere! Always makes me think of Dark Shadows.

Hi Miss_Winthrop!

You were asked to dump your browser cache to get rid of the message that said that the forum was being transferred, and it was-- to a new, temporary server.  Our contract with the old server expired before we were ready to introduce our new plans for the forum, thus the move, but you hopefully won't notice any difference.  So our plans are still underway to make a change, but in the meantime the entire setup had to be moved, including all the files, and MB had to take us offline temporarily to make some necessary changes so that it would be compatible with the new server.  I hope that answers your question.

Jennifer--the key is to go to the party and never actually watch the game.  We went to a Super Bowl party, put our names in the pool.  I sat with the women solving the real problems of the world while the guys and kids fwere watching the game.  

We were discussing going to flee markets looking for interesting "stuff".  Maybe  I could find something worth  making my home more "Collinwoodish".
