These are amazing; such an adorable tribute to 1968.  I feel uncertain, though, if that's meant to be Willie Loomis or Harry Johnson? 

It's supposed to be Willie Loomis. I really couldn't stand Harry Johnson so I probably will not paint a figure of him. LOL
BTW, I painted two more characters in the past few days: Quentin and Chris Jennings as the werewolf. I also posted these pics on a DS Facebook group, and got over 500 likes! Hopefully, MPI will see that there is a demand for DS figurines, and will manufacture something similar because they offer merchandise on their site like bobble heads and lunchboxes, etc.

Thanks for the links to the clips. Hearing that corny organ music playing during Marie's Somerset clip makes me appreciate Robert Colbert's Dark Shadows orchestra music so much more.

I thought it would be fun to paint these wooden peg people as Dark Shadows characters. A few years ago, some toy company tried to start a line of DS action figures, but they only released Barnabas, Angelique, and the werewolf. I always wished they would have released more. Too bad because DS had so many great characters. I'm currently amazed at the popularity of those Funko Pop figures based on TV and movie characters, and the simplicity of them, so that was my inspiration for turning these basic wooden peg dolls into DS people. Hope you like them!

Watched this episode last night. I'm falling way behind schedule but I do have a few comments.
Nicolas Blair continues to be a delight to watch. Humbert is just so good, and I love his killer smile (or devilish grin).
Harry, on the other hand, is just plain awful. I don't want to offend his fans, but I find his line delivery very strange and he's not very photogenic either. I wonder how he got the part? Was he related to Dan Curtis or one of the ABC executives?
The final cliffhanger scene was Nicolas telling Adam to go get Angelique and bring her downstairs. Not the most suspenseful cliffhanger, but it does show how popular the character was if the writers are using the mere mention of her name in order to lure viewers to tune in the next day to see her.

Maggie looks really pretty for someone who's been locked up in the musty mausoleum for days.
I liked seeing Dr. Hoffman appear as Maggie opened the secret door. She looked so sinister.
The medallion scene gave me deja view--as it did Maggie.
I was surprised to see Nancy Barret at the end of this episode. I thought to myself she had an easy day at work that day with no lines. All she had to do was open the door.

Me-TV just acquired 2 Krofft Saturday morning TV shows: HR Pufnstuf and Land of the Lost.
The latter has the same "shot-on-videotape" quality that Dark Shadows has, and the same cheesy special-effects that we all love.

She probably needs a "ghost" writer!  Where's Daphne when you need her???
Seriously, though, a lot of celebrities who "write" their autobiographies have ghostwriters.
I went to Barbara Eden's book-signing once, and she told us she didn't write the book by herself.
The cover says by Barbara Eden *with* Wendy Leigh--and if you really read the book, it does sound like Wendy interviewed Barbara and asked her a lot of questions about her life and career, and then put all the quotes into a cohesive text.
