I am sure I will enjoy it for what it is. Just a little upset that I had to wait forty years for this. When they cancelled the show it was a void. I was 12. As a kid I was all about Dark Shadows. Fond memories of playing Dark Shadows with my late sister. I was always Angelique...she was either Maggie or Daphnie. This movie as a stand alone might be just fine but it does not fill the void I rememeber feeling when the show  ceased production. Guess you can never go back. Sigh. I miss them both.

btw, Grayson was away for a couple of weeks in the autumn of '68 because I believe that that was when the "End of the Road" shoot took place out in Great Barrington, Mass.

I never knew that about Great Barrington. I live 5 miles away. I would love to find that movie. I thought I knew a lot about DS trivia. Guess I was wrong.

If I am understanding this correctly I can change the default profile on my end? I am having trouble with the new blue theme. I personally find it too bright and I have very bad eyesight. I am not spending as much time reading the boards because it bothers my eyes. If I can change it on my end how do I do it?

When I was working on DREAMS OF THE DARK, Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" from TITANIC was playing everywhere, all the time.

OMG   I did not know that you wrote that book. I just picked it up used...sorry no royalties...off amazon.  I just started it I am only at the beginning but it got me hooked from the first page. Can't wait to finish it.

    I remember seeing HODS at the Levittown Theater on Long Isaland. Yes the good old days here too, the matinees we also 50 cents. I went with a group of my friends.  We usually walked to the theater from the neighboring town of East Meadow. I was about 11. My twin daughters are now 12. I can't imagine giving them that much freedom now days.  ( As a sideline one of my daughters loves watching the DVDs with me. !)

[spoiler]I believe it was the oldest son. Tom nd Chris were twins.  Chris was born first ...so he was the child that was cursed.[/spoiler]

(I hope I used the spoiler button correctly)

OK usually I am more of a lurker than a poster.  Over the years I have read  many comments about how Roger Davis manhandles his co- stars. I could never understand what everyone was tallking about. I was an "original" viewer and missed the sci- fi re-broadcastings. I am now rediscovering my childhood obsession.  I always thought RD was kinda of cute. (Please know that I was a pre teen and gratefully my tastes have changed)

I have been watching DVD set 13. It starts right before Barn's trip to 1897.

Disc 1: Roger Davis as the protective older brother Ned Stuart. He is practically mauling the actress that was playing his sister. Poor Sabrina is in a catatonic state and she has this  idiot brother pawing all over her. I thought her grey wig would fall off her head.

Disc 2: There he is again grabbing and shaking Beth...not because of anger but out of caring.

What a weird way to play those scenes. I am sure it was not the director's instructions.

Ewwww!  It's hard to believe I thought of him as a heartthrob!
