LOL, Magnus.

There's a link in the following topic to purchase the collection ("The Night Stalker Chronicles") that contains the crossover story, if anyone is interested:

When Dan Curtis's Collide! Kolchak Meets Barnabas

It's legal to insert DS characters into comics?

You can bet it's with permission.  Some, btw, might recall that the author hosted the pilot screening at the 2005 Fest.

Cool!

Here's what the limited variant DS cover looks like:

I noticed the red and blue blood on Bain.  You don't just put blue blood on someone as a mistake, do you?   We've all cut ourselves at least once.   I thought that someone was trying to be clever, who'd heard that unoxygenated blood was blue (look at a vein) but didn't quite get how fast that blue blood turns red when it hits atmosphere.   I think it's so sudden that no blue can be seen.

Actually, unoxygenated blood is dark red (as opposed to bright red arterial blood).  Veins only appear blue-- it has to do with how light is reflected off the skin.  So it's a myth that venous blood turns red when it's exposed to air.  The DS people really blue it. 

Has anyone else ever noted or commented on the irony of an actor named "Cross" being cast as a vampire?   

My friend Kosmo reminded me about the 1990 TV Guide article with the title, "This time Cross resurrects vampire."

 

Others have wondered too, Patti:

What's that statue?

Here's another view:

Episode #0339

KLS or Selby... which to play first?  I can't decide.

Ha ha, kidding!

Thanks, MsC.

Actually, that entire sequence was shot outdoors on the Columbia Ranch. 

I think it was on the WB studio lot.  This was taken from the VIP tour tram, so sorry it's not the greatest, but I'm 98% sure it's the same house in MB's screen grabs (p. 3).

I have no idea where the building is that was used as the Blue Whale.  I do, however, know exactly where its neon sign is. 

There are also a few bits and pieces that were shot that are not even included on MPI's VHS. They are:
...
"I went down on my knees and grabbed him and squeezed him as hard as I could. I said, 'David... David, you're my son. I love you. I love you more than anything else in this world." Close - Elizabeth - There are tears in her eyes. Back to Roger, as he continues, "And you know what he did? He just pulled away from me and ran off up the beach... and disappeared over the rocks."

I read about this scene in the episode guide inside DS Resurrected, though it was presented as being a part of the video release, which is obviously a mistake (though PomPress' reputation remains intact, lol).  But I'm glad it was dropped before filming because it just doesn't work for me.  When you love a child above all worldly things-- above your partner, above yourself, above money or power or anything, you would not consider allowing them to die horribly as a possible tradeoff for their other parent's mental health.  As long as Roger is portrayed as an aloof and selfish bastard who has a non-existent relationship with a dangerously troubled son, it's still a totally messed up choice but one that I can see him making at this point in the story, especially when there's a supernatural element to it that's not yet clear.  But I don't buy that he would entertain the idea for a son he professes to deeply love.

BTW, I caught something on a 2nd viewing of the VHS that I can't believe I missed, but it should be included in my description of scenes not on the DVD.  While Elizabeth attends to the ailing Daphne in the hospital, Carolyn makes a beeline for Joe, kissing his face while he pulls away.  Now that is very telling!

Nelson picked up on some very interesting details.  So here's my pet peeve, though I'm going to guess I'm alone on this one unless jennifer or Carol are watching along too.  While Daphne is incoherent due to a massive blood loss and her doctor claims to still be pumping whole blood into her as quickly as he prudently can, WHY did they use the sound of a pulse monitor beeping at a very normal 80 beats a minute?  How hard is it to find a stock recording of tachycardia?!
