RD was filming a movie called "Parachute to Paradise," which had a, shall we say, "limited" release at best.  ;D

Everyone should try not to get too upset :'(, but RD has disappeared from the story again and won't be back until episode #550, on Sci-Fi on July8th, after the July 4th break.


Bring on the fireworks!!!![bang][bang][bang][bang][bang][bang]

Actually, although most witch hysteria had died down by the early to mid 1700's, persecution and execution of witches continued well into the 19th century - and in some countries, into the 20th! I believe the last known execution in the U.S. was around 1775, and it's not inconceivable that in some remote, isolated villages (like Collinsport) persecution of witches was still going on.

The industrial revolution ended most witch hunts in the modern world, so the 1840 witchcraft trial of Quentin was the real stretch of the show.


i looked up some of the witch hunts and couldn't find
anyone executed here in the US but in Europe in the 18th century but it could have happened Salem was our last big trial and it caused so much embrassment later
when they paid money to the families of the victims. I think it was stretching it a bit but made for a good story!

i think Ds was pretty good for it time We liked it!
when you look back to some of those old movies then,
for example the other day Dean Martin was driving a car and you could tell he really was just sitting in it singing as they moved scenes outside the car to make it look like they were driving(sometimes if you looked closely
the scenes repeated LOL) and of course he was looking at the girl not the road the whole time But guess he was one cool dude[coolb]
the funny thing about the shadow was Jeb's reaction to it!

Didn't the Collinsport Police have the breaking and entering law.  If they did, they didn't enforce it.  

Take today.  It's 2 in the morning, here comes Peter/Jeff, barging in.  He informs Roger that he's going to go and tell Vickie (I don't understand) Winters, now get this, something that he remembered.  Roger tells him that it's 2 in the morning, and he's not going to go wake up Vickie (I don't understand). Peter/Jeff tells Roger that he's going to go up there and tell her and he can't stop him.

He's not the only one who does this thing.   There's Joe Haskell, who's constantly going to the Old House and demanding to search the place.  If I were Willie, I'd carry a gun too.

And there's the King of them all......Burke Devlin.  This guy thinks he's the mayor of Collinsport.  In his mind, I guess he is.  He's going to everybody's house, telling them that something is strange in town, demands that he "search" the house.  If you say no, which no one ever did, he's going to do it anyway.


HELLO!!!!!



Call the darn Police. They'll probably tell you that you are hiding something.

Barnabas, Roger, even Quentin, never did nothing like this.


i thought it was so funny when Barnabas tells Willie he doesn't need that gun! hey how many times has barnabas been wrong! i don't blame Wille either sometimes i think he is the only one that makes sense
and also got the feeling he needed that sleep nick gave him!

Hadn't the witch hunt hysteria actually ended about 100 years earlier? They never explained how they could have a witch trial so many years after they had been outlawed.

It was soon apparent that Trask was a self-styled Rev. and even Joshua and Barnabas refused to accept his self appointed title. Trask, however, believed that he was doing God's work, no matter how ill-conceived his notions about how to go about doing it were. Thus, even as a religious fanatic and a hypocrite, he was able to command divine assistance.


the witch hunts were long gone and yes it was against the law to hang witches  so they took a few liberties here!

The subtext of Christianity in "Dark Shadows" has been a topic of interest of mine for some years now, and I have notes for an essay I hope to write someday when I have time.  Because I'm investigating the matter, I don't have ironclad conclusions yet.  But I don't recall any other show that makes as many references to prayer as Dark Shadows does during the course of its five year run.

I have been keeping track of most of these references to prayer and faith.  Some are probably just "comforting comments" that people sometimes make in real life situations, but at other times the references are quite pointed.  For example, in 1795 Joshua referred to the Collins family as being grounded in the Christian faith, among other things (I don't have the exact quote handy).

References to church attendance in 1840 lend historical authenticity to that storyline.  But we also see references to prayer in the modern-day DS storylines. Other TV shows from this era (from "The Brady Bunch" to "Bewitched") never made any mention of church attendance, faith, etc.

Another aspect of Dark Shadows' uniqueness, IMO.


The Brady Bunch did have a church scene in which Carol's sings on Christmas Eve after losing her voice and some how gets it back to sing. i beieve they were of one of the Christian faiths
