Dear Fellow Dark Shadows Fans,

Were my eyes deceiving me or was the justice sitting on the left side of the bench, none other than the world renowned Clarence Birdseye, from the Birdseye frozen vegetable TV commercials?

Incidentally, the elderly justice sitting on the right side of the bench looked very much like Kieron McGoo, part-time bartender and full-time customer at the Blue Whale in the 1960's.  (In fact, sitting on the bench today, he looked like he was in desperate need of a hot toddy at the Eagle.)

Bob the Bartender, who wishes that Budweiser still made "LA Beer," the low alcohol beer also known as "Army beer."  

i have been trying to remember what that guy looked like Bob but all i can picture is Mr Whipple in the charmin
commercials!

Jennifer: you had to mention the Rex Sox. You know Barnabas showed up at Collinwood in the summer of 1967. The year Yaz won the Triple Crown and the Red Sox lost the World Seris in seven games to ST. Louis.
Now I wonder if maybe Angelique might of had something to do with that? ?!?

She sure was mean enough!
Well maybe she also ruined it in 1986 with the famous ball through Bill B. legs!LoL
wonder if anyone will ever get the Triple Crown again?

Let's pretend that you were hired as a meteorologist/weathercaster for a local radio station in Collinsport. How would you describe the frequent irrational conditions?

well as mentioned since it seems to be night a lot Dark
would do it!

why is there never Snow it is Maine!!!

This may not make any sense to anyone other than me ... but I think that Vinny Loscalzo (who did the makeup until, roughly, the last year of the series) was sometimes going for "artistic" effects that related to the events of a specific episode.   So Barnabas when the action of the episode called for his "vampiric" nature to be to the fore, got the heavier, more theatrical makeup.

And Josette got extra heavy eyeshadow when grief for Jeremiah or longing for Barnabas had gotten the better of her.

I personally think this kind of thing can be effective.  I guess my powers of suspension of disbelief are higher than average, plus I have to admit that I love theatre and this is one of the more theatrical touches on DS.

16 magazine once ran an interview with Vinny Loscalzo, and he showed a photo of Barnabas that had makeup notes on it he had made, ostensibly for days when he was ill and somebody else needed to pile on the greasepaint.

I believe that Grayson somewhere or other mentioned that on some days those who did not have special makeups to wear did their own.  On days when the actresses have more "natural" use of makeup, it may reflect a day when the actresses were doing their own faces because Vinny was needed to do the werewolf, or an aging effect, or something else special.

Also, don't forget that it was the Sixties.  The eye makeup in 1795 and 1897 is often very 1960s!

I did think that some of the makeup was truly amazing.  Not just feats like resuscitated Josette or aging Cassandra, but more understated stuff like Old Stokes of 1995, or the ghost makeup that made dead Quentiin look incredibly different from the living breathing version.

Well, that's my "counterpoint" to the endless complaints y'all have to offer about the makeup!

Steve

it does seem to me that he was going for the dramatic
look too Steve if you look at Barnabas on the days he is suppose to be most evil his makeup is packed on! must have been hell to get off>
