This interesting article about a mention of "Dark Shadow" in an early 70s "Jack Chick" tract was posted on social media today. I don't know if the special update "confirmation" featuring a very rare contribution from "a certain Mysterious Benefactor (tm)" is recent or not.

The second part of the article is a bit disturbing. These old tracts seem so campy and funny now, but we have to bear in mind that the people who produced them were often very disturbed, malignant individuals. This is shown in the second part of the article. Also, it's known that the tracts did inflict psychological damage on untold numbers of young readers.

I can see where one could easily think the MB referred to in the article is me, but I really had nothing to do with it. In the past, though, I have shared letters and such from church groups demanding DS be taken off the air, so that could be a likely source for confusing me with that MB. [snow_wink]

You mean it was someone even more mysterious? 😉😉

How VERY mysterious!
A friend told me this evening that all the Chick tracts are still being sold on some website for 17 cents each. That's far more horrifying than anything that ever happened at Collinwood.
