**** DS EPISODES IN HALLOWEEN MARATHONS – DECADES TV CHANNEL
This past May, the new nationwide Decades TV channel, a collaboration between CBS Television and Weigel Broadcasting, aired 130 consecutive DS episodes as part of special pre-launch programming for Decades’ gradual roll-out in various markets across the country. ((Please see ShadowGram Updates #342 on 1-25-15 & #357 on 5-31-15. Also see the still-available Triple SG #124-#126 print issue.))
SG here shares details about the Halloween marathon. “Decades has now settled into its format of weekday themed blocks with a wide variety of vintage entertainment shows such as ‘I Love Lucy,’ ‘The Fugitive,’ and ‘The Brady Bunch,’ mixed in with documentary segments derived from the CBS News and Entertainment Tonight archives. On weekends, Decades continues showing marathons of classic series.”
Decades will be offering DS episodes over 2 weekends as part of its Halloween-theme marathons. Schedule follows.
--- Sat., Oct. 24 – 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific – continuing straight through to Mon., Oct. 26 at 7am Eastern/4am Pacific.
--- Sat., Oct. 31: 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific – continuing straight through to Mon., Nov. 2 at 7am Eastern/4am Pacific.
PLEASE NOTE: Standard Time returns Sun., Nov. 1, at 2:00:00 AM. Clocks are turned backward 1 hour to be Sun., Nov. 1, at 1:00:00 AM local Standard Time (with some location exceptions).
The marathon will include the same early Barnabas episodes from 1967 that were shown during Decades’ DS marathon last May. This is NOT a continuation from that May block.
Thus this marathon starts with Episode #210 (aka Episode # 7076 - #76 of 1967), originally aired 4-17-67: The vampire Barnabas is released from his chained coffin by treasure-hunter Willie Loomis.
The Decades Channel appears as a digital sub-channel for CBS affiliate stations in various cities. It also appears on certain cable systems. Please check your local listings.

**** DONNA McKECHNIE IN NEW DANCE THEATER MUSICAL IN SAN DIEGO
DONNA (Amanda Harris, Olivia Corey) performs in the world premiere musical production IN YOUR ARMS, now through Oct. 25 at the prestigious Old Globe Theatre in San Diego .
Ten vignettes, each with specific performers, explore the theme of romantic love and the range of emotions it inspires. Set in various places and at various times, each is expressed through many different forms and styles of dance, with minimal dialogue. “Sand Dancing,” starring Donna and Oscar-winner George Chakiris (WEST SIDE STORY), is about a woman looking back at the memory of a long-sustained love.
The Old Globe Theatre is located at 1549 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101.
Tickets start at $36 and can be purchased online at TheOldGlobe.org or by phone at (619) 23-GLOBE (234-5623) or by visiting the Box Office at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.
**** JOE GORDON-LEVITT - HOLIDAY MOVIE OPENS 11-20
Joe (1991 DS David, Daniel) stars in THE NIGHT BEFORE, a seasonal comedy film opening Nov. 20. His “Ethan” is one of “a trio of best friends who have spent the last 14 Christmases together. But as time has marched on and everyone has grown up (sort of), they’ve decided the upcoming holiday will be their final one together.” The 3 decide to go all-out for one night and “experience” every possible party and celebration they can in NYC, aiming to truly make it a holiday they’ll never forget.
The film – and its theatrical trailer – are adult-oriented with warnings for mature themes, language, and images. (It is not yet rated.) The theatrical trailer “for appropriate audiences” can be viewed at: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3530002/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
