The Dark Shadows Alphabet Game

N is for Necromorphous - feigning death.  (Warning: Spoiler Alert) When Elizabeth was in the coffin, and everyone thought she was dead before she pushed the button to ring the bells, she was necromorphous. (Spoiler Alert Over)

Gosh, it seems like I'm the only one who's playing this game now! I guess it's getting harder and harder to find new words to use that haven't been used before!

I guess it's getting harder and harder to find new words to use that haven't been used before! 

Some seem much more difficult than others.  

O is for Orpheus and Eurydice, whose story inspired the plot of Quentin's failed attempt to bring Amanda back.

P is for Parasomnia, KLS's next flick, in which she portrays Nurse Evans.

PS I'm still with you Sally, you're just quick to the punch, and it's been amusing to see how fast you come up with the hardest ones, like what's coming up next!

Q is for Richard Quarry, David Selby's hygienic character in the movie Intersection.

R is for Revival Series ('91)

Wow! You got all the way to S in one day! It's fun for me to come up with the difficult entries in this game! It's a real challenge!

S is for Dirty Sally - a short-lived TV show which aired on CBS for 6 months in 1974; it was a Gunsmoke spin-off which starred Jeanette Nolan as "Sally Fergus", a grumpy old junk dealer who wandered the West with young adventurer "Cyrus Pike" (played by Dack Rambo). Kathy Cody (Hallie/Carrie Stokes) guest-starred as "Samantha" in one episode, which aired on April 19, 1974.

Gee, considering that the lead character was a woman with my name, and my name was in the title, I'm surprised that I've never heard of this show before!

T is for Type A, Maggie's blood type (or Barnabas' personality type  ).

U if for "Once Upon A Time There Was A Vampire," the title of an August '75 article in Soap Opera Digest.

V is for viper, one of nature's dark creatures that Evan Hanley called upon to summon help in destroying his enemy.  (Bad, bad idea.  )

W is for Elizabeth Wilson, who played Ms. Hopewell in the early weeks of DS.

X is for Xena: Warrior Princess, in which the captivating Jean Simmons can be seen as her character in Spartacus.

Y is for Yvonne Blair - Diana Millay played a character with that name when she guest-starred in a TV show called Arrest and Trial in 1964.

Z is for Zebra which KLS just might have seen during her safari in Africa in 1969.

A is for All My Children - an ABC daytime TV soap opera which premiered on January 5, 1970, and is still going strong! Louis Edmonds (Roger Collins, et al) played Prof. Langley Wallingford from 1979-1995; Mitch Ryan (Burke Devlin) played Alex Hunter from 1985-1987; Grayson Hall (Dr. Julia Hoffman, et al) played Marge Grey in 1973; Hugh Franklin (Richard Garner) played Dr. Charles Tyler Sr. from 1970-1983.

All My Children is my second favorite soap opera. Of course, we all know that DS is my first favorite!

B is for bicycle, ridden by Alex Jenkins when he explored the greenhouse in NoDS.  A bike was also used as an excuse to explain the cast on David Henesy's leg.
