Title: Jonathan Frid at Seaview Terrace
Post by: Brandon Collins on February 01, 2007, 05:52:42 AM
So I was tooling around on You Tube again today and found 7 videos with JF walking around at Seaview Terrace, the Blue Whale, and the make-shift Widows Hill, as well as other great locations for DS.

These were just posted this month, a few days ago actually, so they're still rather new and I figured that maybe they hadn't been discussed, and that maybe not too many had viewed them. I suggest you do go and view them because they are a riot!

JF tells numerous stories, including the one Nancy mentioned some time ago about some teenagers happening by during the photo shoot at the Old House when JF was in full Barnabas garb.

And it's PRICELESS in the first vid when he's explaining about an earlier time when he came by Seaview for a look-see and how people were looking at him oddly, like a chain-gang member (his words) as he was peeking through the fence. I about DIED LAUGHING in the middle of the library when he says "No, it was just ol' Barny-boo taking a peek!" LOL!!!!!

They should really clean this up and release it on DVD or something. It's a riot!

Looking forward to seeing what others have to say....

That is really excellent. So cool to see Jonathan's touches of humor while being a "normal person" at the house. Thanks for the link. :)

Well, they'd have to get the person, a fan, who shot the video to agree.  ;)

I thought of "Barny-boo" at work today and about died laughing AGAIN. lol. I also love the part where he's at the Blue Whale and he's sitting on someone else's boat and he keeps saying "I better get off here before I get arrested."

It is a funny video. It was shot, I believe, in 1985 for the Dark Shadows Festival.  Guy Haines was the videographer and Ann Wilson was there also.

Jonathan regretted his choice of clothing later, saying the jacket he wore made him look like "Buddah."

Oh Jonathan's hysterical, wonderful sense of humor!  If you've seen Fridiculousness you know this.  ;)  I especially love the tale he told about his mother and his answering machine!  Priceless!   ;D  I often wonder what it would have been like to have him turn up as a regular on a sitcom or something.
