Current Talk '08 I / Re: Do You Recall Which Theatres You First Saw HODS and NODS?
« on: May 10, 2008, 03:30:33 AM »
I watched both movies on their original releases.  I saw HODS at the Page Theater in Luray, Virginia and NODS at a theater on the Boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland (I don't remember the name of the theater becasue I was on vacation that summer).

When Robert Gerringer left, Frid was well established.

Very true.  Frid made his first appearance on the show in Episode 211 on April 18, 1967 with the appearance of Barnabas Collins at Collinwood.  Gerringer did not appear on the show as Dr. Dave Woodard until Episode 231 on May 15, 1967, almost a month after the appearance of Barnabas.  Gerringer's last appearance was on October 5, 1967 in Episode 334.  Daniel Keyes last appeared as the caretaker on September 12, 1967 in Episode 317.

Thanks.  I assumed it did, but just wanted to hear from someone who knew for sure.  One good thing about this site is that you can always get the information about anything related to our great show.

MPI, to its credit, replaced two discs from Collection 1 (Disc 1 and Disc 4) at no charge, after it was determined that there was some footage missing from an episode on each disc.  I don't know if that will be done of this Collection 6 disc or not, since the only missing footage is the opening title.  Of course, I would certainly like to have a new disc with this missing opening restored.

On Disc 1 of Collection 6 of "Dark Shadows:  The Beginning," (Episode 181), there is no opening tiltle sequence.  The first scene, with Vicki and Carolyn, ends with them preparing to open the front door of Collinwood after hearing a knock.  The scene fades to black and then there is a scene of them opening the door and letting Joe and Dr. Guthrie into the house.  The familiar opening with the theme music and waves crashing is not shown.  After the episode was over, I ran it backwards to make sure I had not missed something, and it still was not there.

If anyone has this episode on VHS, I'd like to know if the opening is missing on the videotape version as well.  Alas, another mystery in Collinsport.

Current Talk '07 II / Mislabeled Disc
« on: September 03, 2007, 02:22:31 AM »
Disc 1 of Collection 2 of "Dark Shadows:  The Beginning" has an error on the label.  At least, the copy I have does.  It is labeled "DVD Collection 1 Disc 2."  The other 3 discs in Collection 2 are labeled correctly.  Since it doesn't affect my viewing of the episodes, I'll not complain.  I'll just consider it an odd collector's item.

BTW, the replacement disc containing Episode 8 does in fact contain the final scene with Mrs. Hopewell dictating a letter to Vickie.

I received my replacement disc today (Aug. 10).  Back on July 13, MPI emailed me and said that I would have the replacement disc in August.  They were very true to their word.  Julie at MPI is fantastic!

Current Talk '07 I / Re: How Did DS Influence Your Life?
« on: June 02, 2007, 03:00:33 PM »
Dark Shadows has influenced my life by making me thousands of dollars poorer from buying all of the DVDs, video tapes, and books.  But is has been worth every penny.

I got a similar email today.  Perhaps the cycle will remain unbroken after all.

Has anyone heard any word on Volume 3 of "Dark Shadows:  The Beginning"?  Obviously, the January-March-May-July-September-November cycle has been broken.  I wonder if it has to do with the remastering that has had to be done for the discs in Volume 1.  Of course, I'd rather get it late and right than have to worry about getting another replacement disc.

Here is the prompt response I got from MPI:

Quote
They will be remastering this disc but we don’t have exact date this will be done.  As soon as it is done they will send it out to you.

Thank You

I have always had very good experiences with their customer service!
