Thank you so much M.B.! It has been sad, but I get the impression there may be a hope for preservation. Thank you so much! :0)

Please have a fabulous weekend!

Quick question for you M.B. Where is it that you ran across the photo of Cecilia Hall when the Bradley's lived there? What source is it from?

Just wondering and many thanks!

A quick reply to what one of you above commenting on how Joshua Collins/ and or Jeremiah Collins would not have chosen to build a house in the French Renaissance style.... well aside from what they said in the beginning of series, about Jeremiah building it for his French/Martinician wife Josette, in the 1795 flashback Joshua Collins talked about how he hates tea because it reminds him of the British(which he despises) because of his experience with the Revolutionary War(and life before that as well). So what would have stopped Joshua Collins from continuing to be an American rebel and build a French style house?

On a separate note, Seaview resembles a haunted castle. In the subconscious of the fans it is the "haunted castle" in which ghosts, other supernatural creatures and Barnabas a sort of "Dracula" inhabit or visit.

For fans it is also "home", it is after all, Collinwood.

The other thing to keep in mind is.... what sort of market is there for this film? The money that we can put in the production company's wallets by going to the movies to see this film and getting others to go and see this film is what the production companies/distributors care about most.

How VOCAL "Dark Shadows" fans are about how BADLY they expect Seaview to be in this film is much more a powerful tool than some of you might think. If we are vocal here, and on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB.COM) and other areas that those who keep the Depps and Burtons informed as to what might "DRAW audiences in" then we might be able to make it happen. The key is to be extremely vocal on as many levels as possible and keep spreading the word.

We have to convince those that produce the films that filming at this house is what is going to make the audiences pay more money at the box office and that it will sell film merchandising. For example: "I'm so excited Seaview is the Collinwood in the film, I think I will buy that t-shirt after all....".

That is the only way to communicate with such entities. That's the only way they'll really listen, most likely.

What other avenues are there for the word to be spread on-line and elsewhere? What other channels?
