Current Talk '18 / The month prior to 1795
« on: June 20, 2018, 10:52:38 PM »
Have any of you noticed that after Burke Devlin's last episode, for the next month or so, there are mainly women on the show?  Except for Barnabas of course, and brief appearances of Roger & Joe, and much later Tony Peterson, all the male characters have been written off?

It's like they had no idea where to take the storyline and let the show drift.  They are lucky the ratings still held off by the start of 1795.

Current Talk '17 II / Episode 465
« on: September 29, 2017, 11:06:34 PM »
This episode ends with Barnabas and Vicky (under his control) driving to the mausoleum and she sees Peter on the road and then the car crashes.  I never noticed before, but the footage of Peter on the road is an actual filmed outside shot- not taped in the studio.

Interesting that at this point they still were doing this when the last exterior shot was pre-1795.

The supernatural seems to happen in "bursts" and then goes completely away for 70-100 years.

As Victoria Winters arrives at Collinwood, characters we have not yet met are going about their lives/unlives.

Paul Stoddard- living it up all over the world
Jason McGuire/Willie Loomis- scheming in different parts of the world
Barnabas Collins- chained in his coffin
Dr. Dave Woodard- taking care of local patients
Dr. Julia Hoffman- tending to her patients at Wyndcliffe
Sarah Collins- spirit at rest
Tony Peterson- practicing law in Collinsport
Angelique/Nicholas Blair- in hell, probably oblivious to the current goings on
Peter Bradford- long dead and forgotten
Jeff Clark- going about his life
Dr. Eric Lang- taking care of patients and studying the possibility of reanimating life
Adam- ordinary man going about his life
Eve- ordinary woman going about her life (twin sister to Megan Todd maybe??)
Tom Jennings- local handyman taking care of his sister Amy
Chris Jennings- living in the mountains, being a werewolf when the moon rises
Quentin Collins- body and spirit trapped in a sealed up room in the west wing
Beth Chavez- spirit trapped with Quentin in a sealed up room in the west wing
Ned Stuart/Sabrina Stuart- living out west with Ned caring for an in shock Sabrina
Megan & Phillip Todd- possibly just married and living quietly in another town.
Skylar Rumson- tycoon running his empire

Dark Mansions even had an "old house"!  It starred Joan Fontaine.

Current Talk '17 I / Late 1970s DS Comeback?
« on: February 05, 2017, 06:12:24 PM »
In an old World of Dark Shadows from the 70s, there was an article about DS returning with Jonathan Frid set to return as Barnabas in a new series under the title "Bitter Hill".  Does anyone remember this?  It was never mentioned again anywhere.

That separate program guide had a lot of errors in it.  It had Alexandra Moltke doing the voiceovers until a couple of weeks before 1795 as well as many others.

And I'm sure many noticed this a long time ago, but it wasn't until I just went to check the Episode Guide that's printed in the DS Memories book that I realized that, unlike the separate Program Guide, among other things, it doesn't even list who did the opening voiceovers for each ep. How strange...

Ken McEweon did a few voice overs in episodes he didn't appear in.

A couple of months ago I watched from 1995-the end of 1840.  I wanted to see this storyline play out on it's own and I noticed the pace had gotten considerably slower by this time like in the first year of the series and the supernatural was slowly being phased out.  By 1840 it's almost like a regular soap opera with supernatural elements sprinkled around it. 

I didn't feel like watching PT 1841.

« on: June 03, 2016, 04:19:44 PM »
I found this on Amazon, it's a review of the first 210 episodes.
Dark Shadows Episode Guide Volume 1 by Hanley Jennings Peterson

http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Shadows-Episode-Guide-1/dp/132986798X/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1464966915&sr=1-3&keywords=dark+shadows+episodes

From Amazon:  The daytime Gothic drama Dark Shadows was truly unique and well deserving of its cult status. This unofficial guide provides episode recaps, as well as commentary, on the questionable, bizarre or downright silly things that characters say and do that just can't be ignored. This volume covers the first 210 episodes that includes an ex-con out for vengeance, a car accident, a murder mystery, a supernatural creature and a blackmail scheme. So, pour a drink (or two) and delve into the uniquely peculiar world of Collinsport, Maine.

In 1967, Mrs. Johnson invited Barnabas into Collinwood and The Evans' invited him to their cottage.
Judith invited him in 1897 when he arrived.
