Current Talk '05 I / Sinister Barnabas or Guilt Ridden Barnabas?
« on: January 31, 2005, 11:14:53 PM »
Jonathan Frid's  a wonderful actor even though he thinks that he didn't do such a great job with Barnabas Collins.

But I noticed something very interesting...

I was was watching some of the earlier episodes [spoiler]where Barnabas was released by Willie and he was beating Willie up and the kidnapping of Maggie Evans up to where he was trying to turn her into Josette.[/spoiler]

Then I watched some of the later episodes where [spoiler]Dr. Hoffman came in to the picture and began to cure him. Where he began to have some guilt about what he was.[/spoiler]

Now I don't know if anyone else has noticed this... but to me in the earlier episodes. Jonathan's nerves didn't really show up all that much on camera when he was being ruthless.

The nerves came in when he began to play him guilt ridden...

I think that is along the time when it became evident that Jonthan Frid as Barnabas Collins had turned Dark Shadows into a hit.

Now Jonathan is under the impression that because he couldn't remember lines is what gave him the most trouble.

From what I have read. I think that everyone who kept telling him that Dark Shadows was either going to succeed or fail because of him was the bigger problem in regards to how it effected him on camera.

I'd like to have seen them do a movie based on Sam Hall's TV Guide story on how Dark Shadows was going to go had it not been canceled.

The lady who had this pic as wallpaper on her computer said she heard this as one reason for the scenes being cut in regards to Barnabas and Julia...

''The warm and fuzzy scenes between Barnabas and Julia were cut because Dan Curtis and others didn't think they would go over well, with the viewers, [spoiler]when in a couple of scenes later Barnabas kills Julia in a very violent way.''[/spoiler]

I guess that could be a real good reason.

Barnabas: Willie when I said I wanted a bite... I meant from something worth biting. This is so tough I think I broke out a fang.

Yup. It's an actual still from a deleted scene.

There are a few from this sequence in the DARK SHADOWS COMPANION and a goofier outtake from the same scene in the DARK SHADOWS MOVIE BOOK and of course, the text from this scene as well as the other deleted scenes.

Thanks for the info...

A lady I know had this on her computer as wallpaper and I was wondering if this was an actual photo or was it photoshopped?

What she told me was this... "That this was a actual still, of a cut scene, from the "House of Dark Shadows" movie."

Anyone else have any info on this one?

If real... This is the best picture I've seen of Barnabas and Julia together.

Thank You FireRose for the great picture of Barnabas.  >:D can you remember which scene this is from?

No... Sorry I don't.

The copyright on the back of the photo says 1967 Dan Curtis Productions... Maybe that will help you find it if the date is correct.

Why would they send her a photo from a blooper?  Was it supposed to be funny or what?  Hmm...

I have no clue really. It was a couple of years ago when she received this photo for ordering the books. Maybe they thought they were being unique. Who knows... Book companies do all sorts weird things to draw attention to themselves. Although it didn't work because they are out of business now.

Julia: Oh great... A  new governess to distract Barnabas... Well I'll just have to put an end to that right this minute and I know just the thing. A nice warm bowl of garlic soup.

Well I finally found the photo. It is a 5x7, but I thought I'd better make it smaller, because I don't know if there is a limit to the size of photo's you can post.

I now know how my mother got it. It was a free gift for ordering some of the Marilyn Ross paperback novels from an out of print book company.

I hope it shows up well on here... Keeping fingers crossed.

Current Talk '05 I / Re: Are the DVDs Edited?
« on: January 21, 2005, 09:24:49 AM »
Well I think they need to leave the bloopers in...

The way the shows were originally aired is the way they need to be put out on DVD.

Although I'm sure that a few of the actors would like to throw something at me about that opinion.

But the mistakes for me give Dark Shadows it charm.

I especially love the scenes with that pesky fly.

I'm sure that Jonathan wasn't to amused being singled out by that fly. But there is a photo of him with that fly lit right on his forehead...  And my mother got a copy of that photo somehow. It is not a screencapture. It is a real photograph. I just got to search the house over to find it. I just hope it didn't get lost when we moved. If I find it I'll post it.
