DS DVD Commercial
« on: August 15, 2003, 08:54:12 PM »
I saw a commercial for DS DVDs during DS today.
One question...at the end (I guess where/when they would show the phone# to call to order), there was a moving pic of Barn.
Black & white, slow-mo; couldn't tell what scene/ep it was from...

Anybody know?

thanks,

Patti

It's just a guess, Patti, but isn't that the scene when Barnabas arrives at Collinwood? He's announced himself to Mrs. Johnson and is waiting in the foyer for Elizabeth Stoddard. Doesn't he say something like, "Tell her that her cousin, Barnabas Collins, is here from England" with a sly look at his own portrait.

That's exactly the scene, right after he delivers that line, and we see his face break into a self-satisfied grin.  And you'd see the portrait if the DVDs weren't covering it.  The clip isn't in slow motion but may look a little odd because it's taken from a kinescope.

I'm glad they've aired the ad at least a couple of times during DS cuz I don't watch SciFi otherwise and don't know what other cable stations are going to have it.

Apparently the ad is branching out to local stations now because I just saw it on the Providence, RI NBC affiliate. :)
