Hey Penny Dreadful, just now caught up with these pictures.  Now that's what I call SPOOK-tacular!  You guys did a fabulous job.  I love the cute werewolf makeup, (and Garou is a hysterical name!), and your Witch costume is to die for (literally! hahaha!) and what better location than Collinwood for such an adventure?

I think it's hysterical that you chose The Terror, too, since they filmed it in three days on leftover sets and it definitely has a Drunk (?) Shadows feel to it!  Nicholson's nasal, uninflected attempt at a performance could even be seen as an inspiration for the thespian (?) technique of Craig Slocum!

Best wishes for your project.  I don't have cable, so unfortunately I won't be able to tune in, but maybe I'll get to see a clip or more shots on your website.

All the best! Keep up the great work!

Well, I splurged a few weeks back and bought ONE DVD set, #7 (it's the start of the Cassandra Collins storyline, to which I have a lot of sentimental attachment since my first DS was in the middle of that).

I noticed last weekend that the box won't close properly, and I've only had it a couple of weeks.  Is this what you mean by "broken boxes"?

I bought it through DDD; don't know whether MPI will send me one of the new ones.  I guess I will give it a shot.

Talking of Dana Elcar, I highly recommend the episode of The Rockford Files featuring him and Dennis Patrick together in roles definitely reminiscent of their work on DS.

I don't think it is in the new TRF DVD set, but perhaps it will be in a future release.  It's really a fun thing to see.

I don't know whether or not to start a new thread for this, but I have to say I'm just groovin' on the gorgeous captures the Mysterioius One posted for Episode #638!  For some reason, Julia's expressions make me think Grayson should have done a softcore version of, oh, I don't know, "Gloriana, She Wolf Matron of the SS"!  And Vicki's expression in the third one looks as if she's feeling Jeff's fingers somewhere OTHER THAN her cheek!

Then there's the fact that Vicki looks like a Mardi Gras grotesque in the fourth capture--that couldn't have possibly been deliberate, could it? hmmm? *maintains poker face*

I love that shot of Julia and Chris together in the Leviathans show.  Funny that there are dramatic scenes involving the two of them in both the '68 and '69 shows today.

kudos once again to the MB!

Well, I just watched some episodes from early Dream Curse (1968) last night (just got 'em on DVD--I righteously dig the format, and that menu sequence is just Super Groovy! outasite! but I digress) and I nearly gagged at how self-absorbed Barn came off.  Here's Julia about a pin's breadth away from a complete nervous breakdown (she actually screams at him "Why can't you leave me alone?!?!" and I wanted to stand and cheer) and all the man can do is moan about how he needs her to do the Experiment NOW.

You would have thought that with all his talk of how wonderful it is to be a human being, he would have tried on some compassion for size.  He was so extremely self-involved, I found myself thinking of Isobel's husband in Portrait of a Lady by Henry James (the novel, not the film version).

G.

Thanks so much for posting this good news, Midnite!  I've enjoyed the episodes of Rockford I have seen in the past, and it would be great to see these shows, especially the ones with Lara and Thayer.

Michael's comments on Davis and his episode are hysterical!  Perhaps Davis is cantering for the coveted new "ubersexual" title.
