Update Number 257. March 11, 2012
Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,
ShadowGram (SG), The Official Newsletter & News Source for Dark Shadows (DS) announces the following breaking news in this Online News Update "bulletin."
**** DETAILS ANNOUNCED FOR DS MOVIE PREMIERE PARTY
2012 is the year we see "Dark Shadows," the new movie being brought to us by 2 famous, longtime DS fans: Johnny Depp stars as "Barnabas" in a major film directed by his frequent collaborator Tim Burton, along with an all-star cast.
"Dark Shadows" opens internationally on Friday, May 11 (a week later in Japan).
On the evening of THURSDAY, MAY 10, the DS Festival presents a very special "Dark Shadows Movie Premiere Party." The event runs 6:00pm to Midnight.
This actually is the evening before the official opening (theatres usually cannot show a film before midnight on its opening date). You will be in a classic theatre, joined in the audience by original DS stars and hundreds of DS fans together, all watching the eagerly-anticipated new DS movie for the first time - and before many others get to see it.
These original DS stars will attend and will be signing autographs that evening:
LARA PARKER, NANCY BARRETT, JERRY LACY, CHRIS PENNOCK, KATHRYN LEIGH SCOTT, ROGER DAVIS, JAMES STORM, and LISA RICHARDS - plus "other special guests!"
Lara and Kathryn - along with DS' Jonathan Frid and David Selby - make cameo appearances in the film.
A variety of DS memorabilia will be available for purchase and there will be a charity auction.
---LOCATION: The historic Vista Theatre, 4473 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90027.
In a "Special Double Feature on the Big Screen," the 1970 theatrical release "House of Dark Shadows" will be shown first. It was the first feature movie based on a daytime soap opera. Original TV cast members re-created their TV characters in a stand-alone story about Barnabas' release from the coffin after almost 200 years. His obsessive search for his lost love Josette drives the vampire into Collinwood itself.
--- SCHEDULE: Thursday, May 10, 2012 - 6:00pm to Midnight
6:00 - HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS (1970 movie starring Jonathan Frid) - Screening

Calendar Events / Announcements '12 I / Re: Trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
« on: February 14, 2012, 05:30:15 AM »I did tee-hee about the gaffe with the Washington Monument and Capitol buildings (which weren't around in Lincoln's lifetime).
Gothick, the book's prologue is set in present day, with the author acquiring Lincoln's journals, and that looks to be the point in the story that we get a glimpse of the Washington Monument. As for the rest of it told during Lincoln's time, I can't say how the Capitol building looked, but it was very much around. However, as you can imagine, huge liberties were taken with history in this tale anyway.
I'll add my thanks for posting the trailer.
