Blog of Dark Shadows
« on: December 06, 2013, 12:49:38 AM »
I just learned of this site's existence thanks to an article by Jeff Thompson a friend shared with me.  There are lots of goodies; one that struck me is a fan's edit of an opening credits sequence for the storyline focused around Julia's introduction, but done with the music and visuals of the 1991 series opening, transposed into black and white:

There's also a clip from an interview Helena Bonham Carter did about her work as Julia that was new to me--and sections dedicated to the NBC DRACULA series, SLEEPY HOLLOW, and a catch-all called SPAWN OF DARK SHADOWS.

Worth checking out.

Gothick is absolutely right. The blog is definitely worth a look. The Helena interview was especially interesting.

Thanks for sharing it, Gothick!

The "meshing together" of the OS and '91 is really brilliant!
