After reading the 3 pages of how we discovered DS,  i might be one of a few that was attracted first by the music only, i remember my older brother back in 1971 use to play the stereo soundtrack album over and over and very loud. my dad would get upset and yell at him to lower it down.  well 5 years later, i discovered that one of the local channels was airing DS at night, same time as the 11 o'clock news. again my dad wasn't too happy to have me standing there each night  ready to change the channel from his nightly news to DS. 1976 was when i first watch DS.  on the other hand, my mom loves DS and is even reading "dreams of the dark" and she is 70 years old!  -robert

Iam sure "Evanhanley" knows the work you are doing Darren, really don't understand why he wouldn't answer any of your emails. you will be the first to know if i come across anything relating to either movie, that is rare. -robert

Darren, I sold Evanhanley a couple of rare "curse of dark shadows" stills just under 2 years ago. very nice person, just can't remember his name right now.  (i think you emailed me about them too), he was very adamant that i would not make any copies of the stills, which i have kept my word and haven't.  Tborgxx is another heavy bidder when it comes to rare DS. and has out-bidded me before on items.  by the way...you have a very impressive website. -robert

just gonna echo "the ghost of sarah" on this, i thought Mitch Ryan was the better Burke, as is  Anthony George played Jeremiah very well. would have been something to see if M.R. went up against adam.  i never noticed how M.R.  entered a room without knocking, will have to re-watch my earlier tapes.  -robert

Thank you ladies for all the welcomes, everyone has been really nice, i look forward to spending some quailty time here.  (Midnight, i hope you received my  in-box/ email reply),  do you have set times for the live chat room, or is it whenever?

Wishing you a very "Happy birthday" Mr. David Selby, and may you have many many more.   

Hello Cassandra, yes it has taken me a long time to aquire my collection, i regret letting some of it go like a couple of original scripts and my josettes music box (which did not have it's lid). i guess there was a big warehouse find on the music box's back in early 1990's, all without lids!!!. Gary over at shadowland in PA made duplicates for 15.00. so if you have the original 1970 box. hold on to it. MPI is re-releasing the box on feb 17, supposedly...they keep pushing back the date.  -robert

Currently i have 163 of the Marilyn Ross novels with 2 of the paperback box's,  (i started collecting DS in 1976). when the novels could be found and bought for 25 cents each.  I used to buy and sell on the DS collectiable classifieds (DSCC).  the rarest DS items i have are the Angelique ghost doll from NODS,  30+ of the sunday comic strips from Los Angeles and the Barnabas Collins glow in the dark poster by western publishing.
