Terror at Collinwood Episode 84: The Dark Shadows Podcast of Questions & Answers Volume 2

Welcome to the second installment of Terror at Collinwood’s Dark Shadows Podcast of Questions and Answers! In this episode, the following questions are addressed: Why didn’t Daniel Collins know about the family secret in 1840? Did Edith Collins really die in the altered 1840? What happened to the link between Barnabas and Adam? What job did Barnabas command Willie to do in 1967? Why is David no longer afraid of Barnabas after 1795? What does the “you must intercede with Oscar” letter mean? How did Peter Bradford recognize Danielle Roget in the past when she was played by Marie Wallace instead of Erica Fitz? Sit back and listen as a mad Penny Dreadful “spackles” some of the series’ most mind-bending conundrums.

RIP legendary filmmaker Roger Corman 1926-2024 🖤

Mary O'Leary posted on Facebook that Jim Pierson has asked the hotel to add more rooms. Apparently the block they allocated went pretty fast. According to the post, there should be more available now.

First of all, congratulations to you, Penny. It's richly deserved!!

I know Sam fairly well through Facebook, though we have yet to meet in person. Our paths first crossed many years ago when I attended the premiere of Elvira's Haunted Hills in California. You would think that a movie premiere would be this glamorous, red carpet event. Obviously not, since they let me in. But the movie was a lot of fun and Elvira and Dam were both in attendance

Thanks Uncle Roger! Sam is so much fun! It's great that you were able to attend the premiere of Elvira's Haunted Hills!

Author Rich Handley, who has been a guest on my podcast twice, put together this comprehensive Index for fans. I thought I'd share it here for those who might be interested. I find it very helpful when it comes to the Big Finish audio dramas because there are so many of those:
