How far will you reach to link DS to some other show or book?
My wife's name is Norma and she ask every time Stephen King uses the name Norma why he uses it so much. I always say that he MUST have been a Dark Shadows fan. I tell her that Dan's (Curtis) wife She doesn't believe me. She's thinks I can link DS to almost anything.
Kathryn Leigh Scott was in three edisodes of Matlock. One is a two part story the other isn't. In one of them there is a bar called "Sam's Place". I say the writers or director or somebody knew about DS. KLS had a father on DS named Sam that liked to hang out in bars! That can't happen by change, can it?
It would be easy to say that Lara Parker play a witch on "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" even knowing that the show wasn't directed by Dan. That one is real easy. But to really reach. I'm told that just because the movie "Halloween" had a doctor named "Sam Loomis" doesn't mean that John Carpenter was DS fan. I don't believe that. The names Sam or Loomis could be in any movie and mean nothing but to have them in a horror film together means to me that someone that worked on the movie was a DS fan.
Anyway, here's my question. How far have you reached to make a DS connection? And did you really believe it, when you made it?
