Current Talk '12 II / Wolf Moon Rising
« on: October 15, 2012, 01:15:03 AM »
Sooooo ... what's the deal with LP's newest tome?  Amazon lists two separate release dates -- October 18th and August 20, 2013 -- and the cover image has disappeared.  AND the publisher is no longer listed as "Tor" ... now it's "Canvas."  Anybody got the inside scoop?

Current Talk '12 I / Fan Favorites (from actual fans)
« on: April 23, 2012, 12:43:01 AM »
So I was in Target yesterday, and I squee'ed a bit when I saw the new Fan Favorites DVD from MPI.  Because I already own all the episodes, I resisted purchasing it (my fiance helped with this resistance a bit as well).  I was, however, disappointed by what TPTB have deemed "among the most popular in the history of DARK SHADOWS".  According to whom?

Which begs the questions:  fans out there ... if you were compiling this DVD, what episodes would YOU choose to serve as "an ideal introduction to new vewers as well as an enticing overview for veteran DARK SHADOWS devotees"?

Calendar Events / Announcements '11 II / Updates for Shadows on the Wall: An Online Dark Shadows Fanzine

Hello, boils and ghouls!  (I'll just channel the Crypt Keeper for a moment ... okay, I'm done.) 

I've been working on update my DS fanblog today.  Said updates contain a few photos I've never encountered before, another chapter of Shadows on the Wall (a reimagining of the original series written by several regular contributors to this board, as well as myself, long, long ago, and brought back by yours truly, illustrated with screen grabs) (recent chapters have focused on Julia and Angelique, so if you're a fan of those lovely ladies, you're in for a treat!), and the alternate cover for the third issue of the Dark Shadows comic book.

Hey everyone,

Welcome back to my friends who were lucky enough to congregate in NYC last week -- I missed the lot of you!  But while you were gone, I was updating "Shadows on the Wall," my DS fanzine blog-thingie with an episode guide (with screen captures courtesy of me and Netflix), info about the 2nd issue of the forthcoming DS comic book, a mini-review of the DS Companion audiobook, and new illustrated chapters of "Shadows on the Wall," the serial that a bunch of us who still gather here began to write, mmmmm, about ten years ago, and that I've been reprinting (printing?) on my blog.

So please swing by, and feel free to comment -- I'd love to hear thoughts!

Thank you thank you!

Hey hey everybody,

The time has come at last ... the conclusion to the Leviathan saga.  Victoria Winters has been consumed by the darkness inside her, and has transformed into a creature more twisted and powerful than any Barnabas and Julia have faced before.  But Sky Rumson lies dead, Angelique takes it upon herself to extract more than vengeance ...

... by yours truly, has just been posted at Tim Choate's archive that he kindly manages for us.

In this go-round, we find that big badness has exploded at Collinwood like never before.  Jeb Hawkes, Vicki's beloved son, has been destroyed, and she blames Barnabas Collins, and the powers she harnesses to get her revenge are in a realm of darkness she has never ventured into before.

Just a warning:  the worst is yet to come!

... is now available at our archive, hosted by the ever-delightful Tim Choate.

Written by the divine NancyBe, we find Collinwood in a world of dire.  Vicki has nearly been consumed by the darkness within her, but she and her monstrous offspring may find a chance at redemption ... while, in the mean time, Professor Stokes, Julia, and Sky and Angelique Rumson try desperately to find a method that will ensure the Leviathans' final destruction ... and the destruction of their leader.  And Quentin receives a visit from an old -- and very dead -- friend.

Hey guys!

After a long hiatus, Shadows on the Wall is back on track, and chapter 79 (by new recruit Dawn) has been posted at the mahvelous Tim Choate's archive.

In this outing, we have big bad badness brewin' ... apocalypse time has finally come to poor ol' Collinsport, and who's heading it ... why, our lovely once-upon-a-time ingenue Vicki Winters!  Vicki, long lost daughter of Count Petofi, has inherited a lot of her father's powers, as well as his connection to the Leviathans, those wacky fun lovin' guys who only wanna rule the world (and who doesn't?)  How will everyone cope with this madness?  Find out hereish:

Calendar Events / Announcements '04 I / Shadows on the Wall, Ch. 76 and 77
« on: April 15, 2004, 02:01:40 AM »
Hey hey boils and ghouls,

It's been awhile, but Shadows on the Wall, our ongoing retelling of the DARK SHADOWS you know and love, is back, ready and rarin' to go.

It's been a traumatic time for our heroine, Victoria Winters ... she travelled all the way back to the year 1897 to change history at Collinwood and prevent the deaths of everyone she loved by confronting her father, the monstrous Count Petofi.  In the process she learned that there was a great capacity inside herself for darkness, and upon her return to 1968, Victoria found that the Leviathans were planning to use her as a gateway for their return to earth.

This is not good, expecially since Vicki has the power to do it.

In Ch. 76, by our very own Midnite, it's apocalypse time, as all the signs point towards the imminent arrival of the Leviathans, which forces Vicki and Quentin to take drastic action.

In Ch. 77, by NancyBe, everyone is feeling the rising darkness of the Leviathans, especially Vicki, who finds out exactly what kind of gateway she's going to become.

« on: December 10, 2003, 02:09:23 AM »
Chapter 75 of "Shadows on the Wall", our on-going round robin, has been posted at Tim Choate's archive.

Written by yours truly, this go-around continues to delve into Vicki's devolution from heroine to ... whatever the Leviathans have in store for her ... or whatever she plans to do to herself.  Quentin remains braindead; Barnabas and Julia face down Chris Jennings in his new and decidedly less attractive form; Angelique is reunited with an old flame; Maggie Evans and Professor Stokes have a heart to heart.

Hey hey kiddies,

Chapter 74 of "Shadows on the Wall", our ongoing round robin, has been posted at the archive headed by the always delightful Tim Choate.

NancyBe heads us up this time, and things are starting to get hot at Collinwood.  Barnabas, recently completely eeeeeevil, has realized the errors of his ways, thanks to a certain red-headed doctor; later, Barnabas and Julia discover all is not well at Chris Jennings' cottage; Vicki and Quentin have a fateful encounter as he begins to realize that the love of his life is not exactly who (or what) she seems; Angelique receives a visitor.

You can get it all here:

Hey hey, boils and ghouls,

Chapter 73 of "Shadows on the Wall", our ongoing round robin (since 1999!), has been posted at Tim Choate's archive.

In this chapter, penned by the darkly seductive Luciaphil, reflections are everywhere!  We get a glimpse of a mysterious parallel world and some surprising characters who dwell therein; Barnabas is shocked by a face from his past disturbingly similar to the woman he prays upon now; Julia must put the past behind her to save Angelique; Quentin is a little distraught at Vicki's new outlook on life.

Catch it hereish:

http://members.tripod.com/~MrJuggins/shadows/wall.htm

It should be posted sometime this evening -- thanks guys!
