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.)

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.
