Back on the web- NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS restoration blog
« on: January 09, 2009, 10:10:59 PM »
I'm happy to announce that after a couple years off the WWW (at least in the realm of running my own site), I've just created a Night of DS blog that will be looser, more wild and wooly, and at least be some place where updates can happen... and where I can post news on other films I'm trying to locate etc. 

Should be fun.

This is wonderful news, Darren!

The latest relay of media buzz around Depp Shadows has been having me feel more optimistic about the restoration project than has been the case in some time.

Tally Ho!

Best, Steve

Blogspot is great: they host my mental health blog.

I'll be posting by you, Darren: I have a number of things to say about NODS: a film that I think is much better than it's reputation would suggest.
After seeing your new clips at the Castro Theatre,
I think your restored version may get the film to flirt with horror classic status!

To be honest the prospect of a restored NODS excites me more than the Depp movie.  If that project triggers the release of Night, then the movie itself, good, bad, or indifferent, will be icing on the cake.

Great news, Darren, I'm so glad to hear this.

I pretty much agree with Doc & K9. While the prospect of the Depp movie is appealing, seeing NoDS as it was meant to be is enough to make one drool (assuming one is inclined to release saliva in his or her spare time).

Congratulations, Darren.  I know this project has meant so much to you (and many others).

Thanks Nance...It's just a blog though...nothing really new on the restoration front, just showing that the retreat has not been signalled... [snow_laugh]

ooh weee . . I sure read that post too fast.  But glad to see the blog up and running again.  Hopefully if the movie really happens and takes off you will see the NOS project come to completion.

Two words "young Carlotta."

That's all I'm saying.
