Terror at Collinwood Episode 115: Darker Shadows & Other TV Pitches of Scott Young

Scott Young is a producer, writer, director and Dark Shadows fan who attempted to pitch a Dark Shadows TV reunion movie in the 1980s. Despite support from several of the original series’ writers and cast members, the Return to Collinwood pitch was not greenlit. In 2014/2015, Scott dusted off the pitch, reenvisioned it as a series, and retitled the project, Darker Shadows. However, this attempt was also unsuccessful. Scott visits the podcast to offer some insights into his proposals for a new DS. In addition, Scott discusses his involvement with the DS fandom going all the way back to his days volunteering at ShadowCon in the 1970s as well as assisting with the Original Music from Dark Shadows Volume 2 album. He also talks about his podcast/radio drama series, Secrets of Harridge House.

Terror at Collinwood Episode 113: Is Dark Shadows Fading and What Does the Future Hold? with Patrick McCray

As Dark Shadows Daybook author Patrick McCray astutely observes, “Dark Shadows is the “Star Trek” of horror”… but is it fading from popular culture? Patrick is the good cop and Penny is the bad cop in this episode where several questions are raised… Why aren’t there more licensees? How can new fans access the show? References, and why aren’t there more? What can fans do to boost the signal? Is it actually best for DS to stay in the shadows? Has the fandom become too contented? What will the fandom be like in 20 years? And much more!

Terror at Collinwood Episode 111: The Dark Shadows Files, Superman, and More! with Edward Gross

Edward Gross is a writer and veteran entertainment journalist who has written books and articles on film, television, and comic books since the mid-1980s. There was a dearth of new “mainstream” Dark Shadows material available in the 80s, but Ed came to the rescue with the Dark Shadows Files magazine series. He visits the podcast to discuss his lifelong fandom for DS and these memorable Files publications, which included his interviews with many DS cast and crew members such as Jonathan Frid, Grayson & Sam Hall, Art Wallace, Ron Sproat and more. In addition, we take a fun side-trip into Ed’s longtime enthusiasm for Superman. Other topics include: Willard, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, whether there should be a new Dark Shadows, and more!

I'm really looking forward to this one. I'm glad Del Toro was finally able to make this film.

Imaginary Worlds is an excellent podcast, described as "what would happen if NPR went to Comic-Con". The newest episode is entitled "The Bright Legacy of Dark Shadows". I had the pleasure of being a guest alongside delightful authors Mark Dawidziak and Jeff Thompson. Imaginary Worlds is on all the podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc, but also available on the official podcast site at the link below. One of the core topics is the impact Dark Shadows had, especially on the depiction of vampires in media. Fandom, House of Dark Shadows, the 1991 NBC series, and more are discussed as well. I thought I'd share it here in case anyone was interested in listening to it. https://www.imaginaryworldspodcast.org/episodes/the-bright-legacy-of-dark-shadows

Thanks McTrooper! It was really fun catching up with Jon and Ted, particularly since both are fans of DS and MOTU. Ted is a producer and show-runner at Netflix, so it was interesting to hear a bit from that perspective as well. Thanks again!

I happened to notice this on Guy's channel yesterday and was very happy to see these videos uploaded! I watched the Ron Sproat one and enjoyed it very much. I look forward to watching the one with Sy and the one with Bob Costello as well!

 A talented actor, comics creator, and beloved Dark Shadows cast member with an electrifying presence and personality, Christopher Pennock was taken far too soon when he left this plane of existence in 2021.
