I posted earlier about my theory that the 04 pilot would be released soon. At the Festival this summer there were a bunch of video items that were subtitled "Dark Shadows Lost and Found." They did something similar with the programming from a previous release. The content on Dark Shadows-Bloopers and Treasures was previewed at a Fest with that title preceding each program. The '04 pilot was marked as "Dark Shadows Lost and Found" surprise. I also think it's even more likely because work was done to improve the pilot. Why would they add CGI to an unfinished work that was never intended to see the light of day? I heard that the Lost and Found released date had been pushed back. I hope it comes out soon, and I also hope that "The House" is on it. It also had thae "Lost and Found" labeling on it.

I have suspected since this summer that there were plans to release the pilot on video. Years ago I was watching some video at a Fest and they were all prefaced by the title "Bloopers and Treasure." Lo and behold, these were available later on the DS-B&T DVD. I can't find my program, but "The House" and several other videos all had another title. The pilot was also shown along with other items under that title. It was interesting that there were no instructions to turn of cameras or admonitions about filming. I saw a video of the pilot floating around private fans, although I don't think it was posted anywhere. It was a camera shot of the screen.
