Looking for Promotional Pictures from 1991 series
« on: October 03, 2005, 03:48:06 PM »
I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find hi-res scans of some of the many promotional pics (8x10s, etc...) that were taken for the 1991 series? Specifically, I'm looking for these photos: http://www.geocities.com/snycentral/DS1991.png or photos similiar to them (ie from the same photo shoots). I've only been able to find very small scans of these on the web. I need them much bigger. Some of these were used as covers for MPI's Video Releases, so if anyone has a really good scanner able to scan these at a hi-resolution (4 times its size), that'd be great! Same goes with glossy 8x10s...  Anyone...?

Any help with this would be much appreciated.  ;D

Thanks,
Dan

I don't have access to digital pics of these photos, nor do I have a scanner.  But you can find many 1991 promotional photos (I'd assume all available photos) in the following two books:

"Dark Shadows Resurrected"  by Jim Pierson, and

"Dark Shadows in the 90s - The Dark Shadows Concordance 1991"  by Kathleen Resch and others

Both books are filled with wonderful publicity photos from the 91 series.  But, the Pierson book contains more full color photos.  Many of them are just beautiful.

Hope this helps.
