The Collinsport Circus
« on: February 18, 2005, 06:25:44 PM »
Good Day, Cousins!
If DS had made a storyline of all the characters being in the circus, who do you think would be the clowns, the animals, the circus freaks, the amazing people, the ringleader, and the magicians?
Also, who would be in charge of operations? Who would do all the cleaning? Who would sell the tickets? Who would sell food items and other collectible items? Where would the circus performers hang out during their free time? Where would the circus perfomers have their lodgings at?

Any ideas or thoughts?

Elizabeth Collins Stoddard... of course would be in charge, Liz is a take charge woman
Roger Collins... would make a grand fire eater with all the alcohol he has at his disposal.
Caroylyn Stoddard... would of course be the bareback rider atop a beautiful white horse
David Collins... would make a great peanut vender... "get your peanuts here"!
Maggie and cutie Joe... would be the most perfect high wire act
Mrs. Johnson... well she does such a wonderful job cleaning up of course that would be her job in the circus as well.
Julia Hoffman... would be perfect as the circus lion tamer... if she can tame an 18th century vampire a lion stands no chance.
Barnabas Collins... must of course perform as the slight of hand artist... performing feats of mind control and have a great disappearing act "Poof!" then change into a bat and fly off into the moonlight...
Willie Loomis... can anyone see Willie as the circus strong man?? anyone?? well with all his duties at the old house Willie would seem much stronger than he looks.
Vickie Winters... would naturally be the tight wire walker... a lovely sight to see walking the high wire.
Professor Stokes... would make the grandest of Ring Masters introducing all the acts in this three ring circus.

Liz's Leviathans dream was more than enough of a circus motif for me. That thing was quite possibly the weirdest thing DS ever did!  :o

elizabeth would be in charge of this flea-bitten operation but i see julia as the ringleader.barnabas is,of coarse,the magician.vicki is the girl he puts in a box and saws in half.carolyn would be the tight-rope walker(she did it all the time).maggie is the girl who stands in front of a board and has knifes thrown at her.angelique is the knife thrower.laura is the fire swallower.jason and willie are the clowns that pop out from that tiny car.mrs.johnson sells hot dogs.roger sells beer.professor stokes dresses like a gypsy and reads your future.

and jeff clark can clean-up all the elephant p**p.

am i sort of confusing "circus" and "carnival"? [jester]
