And, MB, btw, great new background!
Thanks - a short while ago I posted about it and the associated forum logo in the "** BIG CHANGES COMING FOR THE NEW YEAR **" over on the Testing board.
And speaking of the background for the film, I discovered two interesting things when I did a very high resolution scan of the cast photo. For one, I never noticed how intricately detailed Barnabas' cane is. And secondly, even though it's not exactly the same, that blue and white vase/jar behind Mrs. Johnson's head is reminiscent of the one often seen on the original show.
Also notice that you can see Barnabas ring much better. And not that I needed to, but I decided to include all of Mrs. Johnson because, well. she is so far in the background in most of the versions of the cast photo that you can barely even see her, much less the vase/jar behind her.
