The Dark Shadows Alphabet Game

X is for Generation X - a lot of these youngsters would run home after school just to watch Dark Shadows.

(Wiktionary - The generation of people born after baby boom that followed World War II, especially those born in the 1960s and 1970s.)

A lot of the 1st Generation fans, where Baby Boomers, I know many mons who wouldn't let the younger kids watch the show because they would have nightmares. Some kids would watch it because they were not susposed to.

Y is for Y-shaped, which describes the divining rods used for exorcisms by Quentin and Prof. Stokes.  (And if you set it ablaze, it might find a witch, or at the very least some water to put out the fire.)

Z is for Zasu Pitts, who co-starred with Joan Bennett in The Trial of Vivienne Ware (1932), Thirteen Hours by Air (1936), and a 1954 television production of The Man Who Came to Dinner.

By definition, this game is about things connected to DS. We have allowed outside roles/projects connected to DS actors, but if we open the game up to the names of actors/actresses/personnel who've merely worked in some capacity with DS actors/staff but have no other connection to DS, that's opening up the game far beyond its scope. After all, this isn't a Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, er, DS type of game. 

We'll let Zasu Pitts stand, but please no more entries like it.    However, using something like The Trial of Vivienne Ware by connecting it to Joan Bennett would be perfectly acceptable.

A is for Angus Cairns who played Sheriff Patterson a couple of times.

B is for Brakes - someone tampered with the brakes in Roger's car.  (I would say who if I was able to post a Spoiler.)  

----- Sally -----

C is for choking, like Anqelique caused Barnabas, nearly to death.

D is for Darren Gross - DS theatrical films restorationist extraordinaire

E is for élan vital, the French phrase used by Julia during the Adam storyline as a synonym for life force.

F is for fishermen - lots of them in Collinsport - and Joe was hoping to buy his own boat.

G is for gravity - the scientific reason people died at Widow's Hill...

H is for hams - there were one or two castmembers who could be described as such

J is for Japan, birthplace of Sho Onodera, who played Mr. Nakamura on DS.
