Gosh, this reminds me of my sister and I a couple months ago! My sister decided she wanted to have her Barbies visit Collinwood. She wanted me to play and of course I agreed. We had two Barbie families, mine and hers, that were from Florida and had to visit Maine. The mother of my family had gone insane, so she had to stay at Windcliff with Julia as her doctor. So, the two families were invited to stay at Collinwood.

We had so much fun with that! Before long, we had "Dark Shadows: Episode 1256 and Beyond". We had Julia capturing my sister's father and trying to use him to cure Barnabas. We had Sarah return and try to take the children back to the past with her. Chris Jennings came back and tried to attack the sane mother. We also had Maggie and Carolyn fighting over my man. And, our favorite, Angelique placing a curse on Mrs. Johnson that made her think she was a baby.

What fun! I think we need to do that again! LOL  ;D

Midnite --

AH !!!   LOL.
Very good!

Ya know, that's sort of a funny picture when ya think about it.   :D
What made you think of THAT grab?
Hmm...I think we may have a budding storyboard artiste emerging (from the depths of the shadows).
Hope so, 'cause I'll be damned if I can come up with any anymore.

Yeah?  Well maybe you'll change your mind when you see this.  It's the last thing I did -- a few months ago.  Not really a storyboard, more like a vignette.

It's entitled: SIMPLY PITIFUL


See?  I thought it was very funny when I did it.  (Problem is...I still find it funny).
There ya go.  YOU decide.

Well..I'd like a Barnabas doll with an assortment of changeable suits.  I particularly like him in the grey with a soft white shirt and blood red tie.  My next favorite would be the nice ensemble he was wearing when he practically killed Julia over the 'Sarah' issue. Dark color with matching vest. Of course, I want an Inverness cape and his silver cane and removable fangs to complete the look.  The jacket with tails he wore for the 1840 RT segment would be nice. The man looks so good in suits, tall, slender and handsome...sigh!

WOW!

You folks have some good ideas.  I tend to side with the 1897 contingent, Barnabas, Quentin, Petofi, Magda, et. al..  I think the sculptors at McFarlane Toys would have a field day with the ornate costumes and prop possibilities from that era! As for mini "playset" reproductions of the sets- Sigh- now you've got me wishing for yet another kind of fantasy collectable!

When I saw that scene the first time as an adult, I remember writing an awful rhyming thing (I wouldn't dare call it a poem) about it.  It just begs to be lampooned, you know?

Anyway, I think your last storyboard is really funny.  Thanks for the compliment, but I learned from my one attempt that it's not as easy as it looks.  It really is a unique talent, so please don't stop!

Plus it would be fun if they had accessories.

Oh, if only these dolls could've been available when we were kids.  Wouldn't it have been fun to put on our Barnabas ring and menace the Rev. Trask doll with our "giant" hand? :D

I would want the Elizabeth Collins Stoddard doll, as she would have the most clothes, accessories, and the nicest quality stuff. You'd be able to change her hair and put it up or have her wear it down, and of course she'd have a tiny little key on a chain around her neck to lock up the basement room (basement room sold separately).

It would be REALLY cool if they made a Collinwood dollhouse replica, complete with moving panels and hidden passageways.

A nice Dark Shadows lego set for me.  Hey, think about it, a little lego Barnabas wearing a little lego Inverness cape.  Little lego Vicki minus sleeves.  Little lego Collins' family tomb... well you get the idea.  ;)
