Angelique's room is very tempting, but I don't like the fact that it's a one way ticket.  The stairway is probably the safest option, with the most possibilities, so I went with that.

Glad to see so many responding as I thought this may not be a  popular topic! Enjoying this post. Before I had saw all the DS episodes and only read about the stairway in time I thought it was so fascinating!

Same here, Taeylor - I read something about the Stairway on this forum before I ever saw the actual episodes, and I was immediately intrigued. Frank's book sounds fascinating, and you can get a good preview of it on amazon.com!

"Dark Shadows"'s first trip back in time was Barnabas in 1795, and Gothick once proposed that the movie "Berkeley Square" was an influence on the DS writers. I have read the play and enjoyed it; it was also re-made into another movie that I've mentioned here before, "I'll Never Forget You" with Tyrone Power. "Berkeley Square" in turn was inspired by an unfinished novel by Henry James. I suspect that James himself was influenced by H.G. Wells, with whom he corresponded and was on collegial terms.

I got into Old Hollywood back a couple years ago.  I will have to check that movie out!

I love that we've got people who know history and literature on this board.   On other boards I'm often the closest thing they've got to that, and since I'm not well-read at all, that's awfully scary.   

Did the poll cover Eve's trip courtesy of Angelique?  I'll go check that now.

Unfortunately, the poll omits Nicholas' medallion.  [ghost_sad]

Ugh! I forgot about that one!  Is there anyway a moderator can add it!

Only if you're sure that's what you want, since 15 voters (so far) didn't have that choice.

I guess that is true Midnite to not add it since they didn't have that choice.  Thanks anyway and again sorry.  I forget about that since it wasn't a major event and I call myself a DS fan.... [ghost_wacko] In my defense though I got some not so good news that day.

It's no problem, and you don't have a thing to apologize for.  You ARE a DS fan-- you have nothing to prove!

That's a bummer about the bad news.  Hope things get better for you.

It is possible to add the medallion and restart the poll. But, of course, everyone would have to cast their votes again...

What does everyone think?  Should we start the poll again?  And thanks for the kind words Midnite!
