That's an unusual list. No significant Quentin episodes, for starters.

And an odd thing is that during the original broadcast, my family went on a long trip during the period of the 1995 storyline--so I never saw this episode. Not until years later--I think I watched it in the actual year 1995 for the first time.

Great shot from a great episode. For some fans, this is THE episode.

"Not without you... Never without you."

Thanks, MB!

Lovely to see John Harkins today. Truly one of the unsung heroes of DS.

I remember Garth Blackwood growling MUST a lot so perhaps he'll show up in this series eventually.

I was surprised, upon looking him up, that IMDB says Lombard appeared in a total of 4 episodes on the show. So he must have reappeared, and I've forgotten that fact. A good excuse to re-watch Leviathans!

Another exquisite photo, MB. Peter Lombard was so marvelous as Oberon. I found it baffling that he only appeared in this one episode. We needed nightmare sequences where Oberon showed up to taunt and goad Barnabas--it would have made the Leviathans more of a presence in the storyline.

I'm presuming that Lombard became unavailable almost immediately due to another long-term gig, which is why another actor was brought in for a later episode in which Barnabas was again visited by a Leviathan.

Or maybe simply nobody cared...

Wow, MB, what a fabulous shot of Magda! Beautiful!

Gratefully, Gothick

That looks like a specially made board for the show. I've seen a lot of Ouija boards in my time and never come across one with that design. I think in the dialogue it may have been called a "spirit" board possibly because the name Ouija is under copyright from Parker Bros.

The standard design for the board is pretty non-threatening. But that hasn't stopped a lot of people from imputing diabolical powers to these things. I think there was this tacky horror movie in the 80s called "Witchboard" that helped feed the hysteria.

Nice shot MB!

My buddy Curt, who watched this show during its one and only airing, has researched it. He sent me this note last night:

"...that blogger's statement about the chapter numbering in the series is a bit misleading.  He's correct that none of them started with Chapter One (which is very confusing to a new viewer), but it was done intentionally.  The producer thought it would be a good idea to emulate George Lucas' STAR WARS which had been a huge hit a year and a half earlier. Lucas wanted to evoke the feeling of the old Universal serials, so despite being the first film in the series, he opened it with the "Chapter IV: A New Hope."  CLIFFHANGERS did the same thing, giving bogus numbers to their opening segments (supposedly to make viewers feel they had jumped right into the action).  Confusing and, all in all, a bad idea.  Honestly, it's amazing that recordings of CLIFF-HANGERS (rough though they may be) are in circulation these days."

This playlist seems to have all that was filmed, including at least one unaired installment.

I watched the "Secret Empire" segment in the first one. It was entertaining. However, Geoffrey Scott was as wooden as ever. He did have a nice shirtless scene in the story.

Wow wow WOW MB. Today's photo of Cassandra is JAW-DROPPING!

STAGGERINGLY excellent work!

Thanks!!!

I remember seeing The Phantom Empire on "Cinema Club 9," a late night weekly movie feature that happened on a Washington DC station, Channel 9, in the early to mid 1970s. It was a cool serial, a crossover between the Western and fantasy/lost civilization genres. I had no idea there was a remake in the late Seventies--I have seen the Dracula episodes from this series, thanks to a friend who sent me copies a few years back.

Thanks for those great captures! I also thought that it would be amazing if Carolyn didn't impale herself on that thing getting out of bed in the middle of the night.

The specifics of her final attack on Julia made me think of an episode from the Summer 1968 storyline in which Cassandra pays a late night visit with a special treat for Adam when he's sleeping in a room in the West Wing. If that were true, that would mean that this episode didn't just condense material from separate months, but YEARS of the original show--LOL.

Maggie's Ouija board had a pentagram on it which I thought was another cool touch.

Question about the 1991 series: I decided to watch episode 6 this evening, which combines 2 to 3 months of the original 1967 storyline into 42 minutes. In a scene set in Carolyn's bedroom, she has this extraordinary, rather large high modern Satanic sculpture sitting near her bed. Does anyone recall reading anything about that? It stood out because so much of the set dressing in this series just seemed so unimaginative. But this was a brilliant touch, highlighting the evil influence Barnabas had his cousin under at this point in the story.

As usual I can't post an image but maybe somebody out there remembers this. It looks like a one of a kind sculpture.
