I'm surprised you haven't commented on the absence of one of your favorite people from the list, MB. 

Apparently in an effort to salvage what $ they can from the film, Dreamworks is releasing it on DVD on December 21, 2004.

David's official web site is reporting that Larva, which was filmed around this time last year in Springfield, Missouri, will make its Sci-Fi Channel debut on Saturday, January 8, at 9:00 PM Eastern. Co-stars include Vincent Ventresca, William Forsythe, and Rachel Hunter. David plays a bad guy. 

More info is on David's official web site.

I've posted 4 clips from Richard Blanco's video of the recent Dark Shadows Weekend at the Westchester Marriott in Tarrytown on his web site:

The annoying freebie web service is slapping some garbage characters at the top of the page where their ad should appear, and I'm too doped up on pain meds right now to know or care how to fix it, so please disregard it.  The new material is on the Festival Videos page.

The clips are in RealPlayer format and feature Kathryn Leigh Scott, David Selby, ProfStokes at the costume gala, and Marie Wallace. The video/sound quality has been downgraded in order to make the files smaller. Obviously, the original quality is much better.

If you're interested in the videos, you can contact the site owner at drksone@aol.com

I received a copy of the Fest DVDs from Rich this week, and they do contain the performance of The House.

When I get a chance, I'll try to post some clips and grabs from his video on his web site.

**** TV GUIDE's upcoming Halloween issue, available either this week or next, will include DS in a feature on spooky TV programs

The online version of TV Guide features a "Which Witch is Which?" quiz that includes a familiar face.

Not this female.  I cruise by that channel on a regular basis...and I can't remember the last time I found anything worth watching on it.

The perpetual reruns of Buck Rogers have allowed me to confirm two things:

(1) that Gil Gerard is nowhere near the hunk I thought he was when I watched the show as a kid

(2) that spandex is not for everyone

Now that I'm secure in the knowledge of these two things, I don't need to see the show ever again. 

Seriously, though, I have to be nice because I want them to hurry up and air Larva, which, despite its unfortunate name, is supposed to feature David Selby in what he described at the DS Fest as a good role.

Regardless of the ridiculous titles and premises, their Saturday night monster movies have been ratings successes for the network. There was a recent article about them in Wired Magazine.
