Very happy to hear that Jonathan Frid will participate in this new film in someway.Great news.

Happy birthday Jonathan. I hope that the coming year for you willbe a happy and a healthy year. I hope to see you at the fest.MM#7

I also feel that this film willnever happen.The sad thing also, is that it seems to be holding back the dvd, and possible blu ray release of House and Night of DarkShadows.

  Very nice to see a new post on the 2 original DS films. Oh, I would love to see them on Blu Ray. Its a new and great format, but at this point, I will love to one day on this site to read that they have been announnced to dvd.Hope everyone out there enjoyed the Holidays, regardless of which one you celebrate, and have a happy and blessed New Year.

I am sorry to hear that you got laid off. I can understand how you feel. Its happened to  me several times in my kifetime, and I know that its no joke. Goodluck to you, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.Rich L.

Perhaps the tone of my reply was very angry the other night.It is very frustrating to see all the films that have so many of movie lovers and collectors double dipping for directors cuts, and ultimate editions of different films. Yet, HODS, and NODS, are still just sitting there waiting to be released.Movies that never made it to VHS and Laser Disc have made it to DVD.But no House, and no Night of Dark Shadows.Darren, you asked whom do I suspect? Warner Brothers, yes, and perhaps some people that involved with running the Festival. Its just my opinion, and I have been knownto be wrong many times.I still feel, that IF this film is ever made, and I am one of the few that dosen't think it will be made, I don't think that the majority of Johnny Depps audience will be going to the stores and buying House and Night on DVD.The core audience are the original fans, the fans whom liked the 1991 series and went to see the original.Too much time has elapsed, and my feeling is that they be waiting to long till 2011 or 2012 to put them out.These are just my opinions, and I am not trying to hurt anyone else's feelings.I hope it all works out. I hope one day to seethe restored version of Night. It sounds like it willbe a totally different picture. I hope it all works out.

Very disapointed that the DS festival will not be in Tarry-town once again this summer. The 2 times that I went, I enjoyed it up there very much.There is also the connection between the 2 films and Tarry-town which makes it extra special. It also seemed like a mini vacation to me. i enjoyed the drive from Brooklyn to Tarry-town.Also, thats a long wait for the two films to come to dvd, Oct 2010.We have been waiting a long time for this.I guess I willhave to rehook up my laser disc player again to watch them.Hopefully, when they do arrive on DVD,it willbe worth the wait.I also feel the David Selby wil be there. he has been a trooper for many years. Hopefully he can be there, and perhaps a Barnabas, Quentin renunion.MM#7

This has been an interesting topic.This mm#7.I happen to be alife long fan of ds. I hav e a;; the vhs, the dvd, the laser discs of house and night.I enjoy them all.If I rememmber correctly, i felt the ds might have more popular that trek was in its original run.But we all know of the syndication problems worldvision had with ds, wheras Paramont got st out there immedialty.I personally never experienced much hostility from st trek fan because I was and stillam a ds fan.Sometimes people that you work with find out that youlike a certain show, or a movie franchise, and sometimes if the wrong group gets that infor, they will break your chops and give you a hard time.I delt with stuff like that in two ways,before knee and back injuries took over my life, for a small man, 5ft 7inches, and at that time, about 140lbs,take if out on the football field.Sometimes people ar work especially men, ten to think touch of their athletic abilitys.So when the next thing that they know, Richi has just flattened outjohn on the game, watch out.sometimes, and it happens to me all the time,I am very underestimatedThan you had the men and women who's social lives were constantly so busy.and what ere clowns doing with their lives?BOOZE AND DRUGS.I ALWATS STAYED AWAY FROM THAT.Its unfortunate, that people feel that they have to show no respect to anyone based on a tvt series that they watch.But today, that still happens.I have been to many ds conventions, the early days of shadowcon, till finally the ds fest.i have made alot of very dear friends there, and we still sre friends.many have been lifelorn friends. that i always apreeciate.After reading this article,I felt a need to respond.I hope that all of you reading my bit on it, understood where Iwas coming from Thankyou, mm#7
