Hi!
« on: May 13, 2002, 04:01:07 AM »
Hi all! My name is Lindsey and I am new to this forum. I'm 16 years old and LOVE Dark Shadows! I have been watching it for a little less than 3 years. I am a sophomore in high school and live in Ohio with my parents and my little sister, who is 13. I discovered Dark Shadows in 1999, on a day off from school. My dad and I were flipping through channels and he came across Dark Shadows on Sci-Fi and instantly remembered it and kept watching it. I forgot about because I was back in school, but started watching it that summer and have been obsessed with it since! I have been lurking here for a couple months and finally decided to register.
My favorite character is Angelique, which I am sure a will talk about more later.  :D I also love Barnabas. I am excited to be posting and I hope to hear from you guys soon!

Welcome! It is always fun to hear of DS attracting a new generation of fan. Of course, it was one of a kind! I have been a fan for longer than I like to say, my kids like it too.

Welcome, Lindsey!! :) :)  How nice that you decided to "delurk"!!

It sounds like you've been watching long enough to have seen the whole thing or almost by now.  It's always fun to find the show making new fans.

Hi Lindsey,

Welcome! I watched Dark Shadows with my Mom in the 60's. My daughter watches it too, and she wears Dark Shadows t-shirts and jewelry. She also likes to play the Dark Shadows board games with Mommy and grandma. There were 2 games that came out in 1968 and 1969 that I have. I have a huge collection of Dark Shadows memorabilia. I attend the Dark Shadows Festivals. I have a couple of websites, Cheryl's Dark Shadows Website, and Cheryl's Craig Slocum Website. He is my favorite actor on the show. I hope you find this to be a fun message board. Interesting to hear a new generation's point of view.
Cheryl,

Hi Lindsey!

And welcome! I am new here too. I am glad that you are enjoying DS. Just curious does your father still watch it? Either way I am glad that you are!

Hope to see you here again!

Welcome, Lindsey!  :D

It's wonderful to see you posting with us!  I'm 18 years old, and I've been watching since February of 1999.  Because none of my friends had even heard of the show and nobody knew what I was talking about, I used to think that I was the only teenager in the world who watched Dark Shadows, and a weird one at that. I'm glad to see that that's not true.  As you've probably figured out by now from lurking, the people here are amazing, and I'm sure you'll fit right in.  Make yourself comfortable.  Looking forward to reading your posts!

Welcome Lindsey!  I'm thrilled you decided to introduce yourself.  You must've read that you're not the only 16 year old on the board.  Looking forward to seeing more from you! :D

WELCOME LINDSEY !!!!

It is great seeing that younger people are finding out about Dark Shadows.

I am an original fan and watched DS during it's first run 1966-1971.  Although there are bits and pieces along the way I missed.  I don't remember all the episodes.  So watching it on Sci-Fi is almost like seeing DS for the first time for me.  My 12 year son watches it with me too.

I like several of the charactors from DS.  To name just a few, Barnabas, Angelique, Quentin, Wille Loomis and Julia Hoffman.

Hope to see more of you on one of the more friendlier Ds Boards on the internet.
