my name is Richard
« on: December 27, 2010, 10:21:35 PM »
and Richard is my real name.

Introducing myself to the board.

I was a little boy when my parents and grandparents watched Dark Shadows on TV every afternoon in the 1960s. I became quite a fan. I used to have all the paperbacks by Marilyn Ross. Wish I'd kept them. I saw the original films during their first run many, many times, and I bought the VHS tapes when they came out.  I think Dark Shadows may be one of the reasons I embarked on a career in telecommunications. I wanted to tell stories like it, but I never did.

I don't like the casting and director for the new movie and I'm not looking forward to it.
I'd rather see the original feature films restored and put on Blu-ray.

It only took two years to become a member here.

Welcome Richard.  I had to wait quite awhile too, for memberhips to open up again.   I'm from that running home to watch DS generation too.
