The only 1790 character that I actually like is Natalie, and that is because she was allowed to do something that Grayson Hall's Natalie never did.  I'm indifferent towards many and just dislike others -- Trask and Abigail are the only two I dislike for the right reason

Not particularly stiff, but definitely cold.  Although so much about the series is wonderful, it had a certain coldness (akin to HoDS) that made it different from the OS.  Mrs. Johnson and Victoria Winters were about the only two characters who were given enough of the right material to display warmth.  Well, there's Willie too, but his was the wrong type of warmth.   [easter_wink]

I love how everybody thinks DS is British, yet the British don't even know what it is.   [easter_cheesy]

I enjoy the Hammer films - not anywhere near as much as the Universal Monster films, but I find most of the earlier ones entertaining.  I could do without the racier ones.  I usually watch either Horror of Dracula or Dracula: Prince of Darkness every October.  And now I add the modern Hammer spook-show Woman in Black to the mix.  But my favorites are definitely the American originals. 

As for Dr. Phibes, I love it.  It's my favorite Vincent Prince movie.

In the OS, I always attribute historical inconsistencies, like changing dates and relationships, to unreliable family histories.  It's a lot more fun than to say the writers didn't really think everything through, so you're not alone.   [easter_wink]

What is clear is that Mrs. Stoddard died without any close relatives or direct descendants, [spoiler]which could connect back to the events of the previous film - with the exception of David. [/spoiler]

I do believe, though, that two pieces from hoDS also appear in NoDS. Off the top of my head I don't honestly recall what both are, but one is definitely The Search For David, which plays over Angelique's attack on Alex.

Now that you mention it, I recall that piece being used. 

Cobert always went back to the original DS music, though.  I believe Burnt Offerings and The Night Stalker both have, at  least, one DS cue.

"Joanna" and "Shadows of the Night" were the only real standards, though both had a couple of new arrangements, especially "Joanna."  That being said, I believe the rest of the "mood" music was completely new.
