A few people mentioned seeing a video crew around the Tarrytown Double Tree last summer. Maybe I was preoccupied but I never saw anything like that. Anybody here see anything? Or see anyone being interviewed, fans or actors?  [easter_huh]
Yes it was shown at the Festival this past summer. It was listed as a surprise or something like that and was prefaced as "Dark Shadows-Lost and Found."

i really don't know how marketable the pilot is on it's own. didn't someone suggest it might be included in a larger package of DS "oddities" like The House and a few other odds and ends? to me that seems more plausible given how the company has marketed things in the past.
Yes, it was never announced at the Festival but the program lists several video offerings under the umbrella title "Dark Shadows-Lost and Found." The same thing happened with "Dark Shadows-Bloopers and Treasures." I was madly trying to audio tape some of the stuff and then found out they were coming out  soon on DVD under the title listed in the program. I know that Pierson said there would be a video release soon at the Festival last summer. I think he mentioned a documentary.     It might be some kind of overview of DS along with some "Lost and Found" items, or maybe it's another release. I might be recalling the documentary thing wrong, because no one else seems to remember it.

the market for a failed pilot has got to be pretty minimal. but i suppose DS has a fanatically devoted fanbase so it's a relatively small but captive audience.

At the Festival there were a number of videos that were shown under the umbrella title "Dark Shadows-Lost and Found." This included the pilot and "The House" by Art Wallace. The last time something like this occured there was a DVD released called "Dark Shadows-Bloopers and Treasures." I suspect that there will be a video entitled "Dark Shadows-Lost and Found." I also recall Pierson mentioning a documentary in the works. I don't know if this was intended to be part of the same release. It all seems to point to a new DVD of odds and ends soon.

For the disappearance of the pilot on YouTube, here's a way to download and save it.

God, I'm more tired than I thought. That made no sense. It should read, "For those who fear the disappearnce of the pilot on YouTube, here's a way to download and save it.

That's sad to hear.  At least they did share the tape of this one episode which so many wanted to see.  I have never had any contact with them beyond seeing them in a skit at a Festival years ago.

That's true. I hadn't really thought of it that way. I suppose it's a healthier outlook. I'll try to focus on the positive.

He (or they) is a fairly well known fan.  I don't think it would be proper to further identify in a public forum for obvious reasons.
If this person or people are who I think he or they are then I hope at least one of them gets crucified. This person conned me out of a piece of memorabilia that had a great deal of sentimental value. in order to "thank you for all your help with the auctionl" I sent this person some photocopies of scripts I had so he could get them autographed and sell them to help pay for medical bills. The Kinkos bill and the postage came out of my pocket. So after all that he offered to get a piece of memorabilia autographed for me. It was a book signed by Frid and was a gift from a girlfriend who has passed on. Since Angelique also appears in The Foe of Barnabas Collins he offered to have Lara sign it. He never sent it back and stopped answering my emails. I was later told he sold a copy of the novel on EBay signed by Frid and Parker. Coincidence? He also owes a dear friend of mine a great deal of money which he borrowed and is seemingly unwilling to ever pay back. It's been 7 years since she told me about it.  So as I said, if Warner Brothers comes back looking to hang him, I'll donate the rope.

Again off topic, last night on the Tube I found a 1958 episode of THE SHIRLEY TEMPLE SHOW with Agnes Moorehead playing a Witch in Rapunzel.  It was so cool.
Even more off topic, MOORE off topic, if you listen to the first radio episode of Superman, Ms. Moorehead plays his mother. I'm not sure if she's named. It's also odd because it's a case where the star of the series Bud Collier does not appear in the first episode. There aren't many cases where this happens, and I'm not counting situations like Star Trek. The first pilot starred Jeffrey Hunter, but he was replaced in the second pilot by William Shatner. Anyway here's a link to the radio show's premier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIYbe6vtyJE

Calendar Events / Announcements '17 I / Art Wallace-The House
« on: March 29, 2017, 03:03:29 PM »
I apologize if this has already been posted, but I found "The House" on YouTube. This is the story that Art Wallace used as the basis for his "Shadows on the Wall" story bible. I conducted a search of the forums for this, but too many results came back based on my search terms. Here's a link to the program.

I also meant to mention that I checked and Willie listening to the truck's radio is in the script even though it wasn't in the Fest's version of the pilot that I saw...
Is your source from the '05 Fest? My audio is definately from '06, but I'm assuming it was the same version showed in '05.

I think it's odd that David pranking Vicki comes in the YouTube version before Carolyn warns Vicki about David. I suspect most of us would agree that the original timeline of warning followed by pranking would seem to make more sense. And, in fact that's also the intended timeline in the script.

When I watched what was on YT I thought HUH? I did not remember how it went on the audio but it seemed odd to me that Vicky awoke from a dream and met Carolyn, who was going out. This is Collinsport not NYC.  She did meet Joe instead of going to the Blue Whale, but why so late? Now it makes more sense.

It's a very bad audio recording but it doesn't sound like there was theme music at the end. This weekend, if I can, I'm going to listen to them side by side and see how they differ.

Yeah, I'm a big Doctor Who fan, although I'm a DS fan first, Gothick.

The version I saw at the '06 Festival ran 40 min 25 sec or so. The YouTube version is 39 min 29 sec.

Wasn't there talk last year of another DS disc release which was going to have some new material on it including a new documentary?

Yes, I heard it was delayed.
