And something supposedly behind the scenes from the shooting of the dream:
The 16 Spec caption for it reads: 'In his present life, "Quentin Collins" (David Selby) is beset by visions
of a former life as "Charles Collins", and a former love--the wicked
temptress "Angelique" (Lara Parker). Here, in one of his visions, the
couple enjoy a very private picnic.'
To my knowledge the only time this has been officially published was as part of a 16 Spec preview of NoDS. And I've mentioned this before, but am I the only one who thinks it looks like Angelique doesn't have any ankles/feet?!
Also, is that the same fruit bowl from this behind the scenes in the tower?And now we move from stills depicting the scene to stills from behind the scenes to preview Scene 85:
...
If so, it definitely got around.
Alone with Tim, Trask asks him to conjugate some Latin, then questions him about whether or not he's happy at the school. Tim plays it cagey at first, saying, "You taught me to endure it," finally admitting his unhappiness. Perhaps, suggests Trask, you and Charity could go away and start a life of your own together. This surprises Tim. The lawyer I saw, says Trask, needs someone to translate a Latin manuscript--perhaps you could get a job through Mr. Hanley. The possibility that Trask would release him astounds Tim, who points out, that it would mean losing Charity, too. I'd still have the Mrs., says Trask. Tim is incredulous--I want to apologize to you for misjudging you in the past, he says. Trask assures Tim, I've never misjudged YOU, I know exactly what you are. He sends Tim to see Evan immediately.

Plus, we're also very lucky to have stills from the dream:
...
(There are also other color stills of the dream, two of which feature Angelique and Quentin, on page 183 of the PomPress book Return to Collinwood, and I'd be happy to also scan those for anyone who hasn't seen them.)
(Above) Wildly colorful, stylized shot from the deleted poolhouse dream sequence. In this rehearsal shot, the candelabra is burning way out of control. On the left where the blue curtains are is the floating platform Angelique and Quentin would be visible making love on during the scene. |
(Above) Angelique and Quentin make love in a dream sequence in the dilapidated poolhouse. The scene (similar in style to the works of Italian Horror Maestro Mario Bava)is unfortunately still missing, except for a 9 second shot that exists on the theatrical trailer. |

Enjoy!
Here's the first of two stills I want to share for Scene 179:
First, a rare B&W still -
- which was shared on page 176 of DS Memories.
And here's another B&W still -
- which I first came across a somewhat cropped version as part of an article entitled NOSTALGIA BONUS Remember When Dark Shadows Kept You Glued To The Set from the June 1974 issue of Weekday TV (which, quite interestingly, had sections devoted to the daytime show and NoDS, but nothing from hoDS). And a much more cropped version also appears on page 9 of the booklet for the movies soundtrack.
