"I guess when Baaaanabas said no playing on theee stairs, he really meeant it!"
Thank you so much arashi!!!! I knew I wasn't going insane! There it is, in all it's glory. The stairless-Old House. I wonder what happened to them that day. Any speculation?
One of my favorite things about watching Dark Shadows is the stray camera angles, like this one, where we catch more of the set and the surrounding area than we are supposed to. High shots that reveal the lights, shots too far to the right so that we catch the edge of another set in the picture also.
Looks to me like there is a little corridor back there behind where the stairs would be. Where does that lead? The dressing room? Make up? The can? Or perhaps THAT is where the characters always walk to when they say they are going to the study!
Looking at shots like these that reveal more than they are supposed to really let me put myself in the studio and try to find my way around. Unfortunately, not many of them are very good WIDE shots of everything else. I guess that's why the camera people kept their jobs lol.
Finally, speaking of "Did You Notice?"....
I'm watching the Leviathan storyline right now, and I noticed in one of the earliest episodes, I think it may be the one when Carolyn brings Julia to the antique shop for the first time, a stage hand is walking back and forth outside the shop, clearly seen through the window! lol
