Dark Shadows DVD Easter Eggs??

[Nelson Collins]

I was watching disc one of DVD Collection 4 a couple of days ago and was surprised that between Ep. 336 and 337 was a promo for the 1795 flashback!

It was B&W, showing Vicki first then panning to Barnabas' chained coffin in a spotlight.  The man himself walks into the light and rests his hand on the coffin.  During all this an announcer invites the viewer to join Victoria Winters on "this Friday" on a trip to the year 1795 where we can learn the origin of "this man" and "the secret of the chained coffin."

Has anyone else seen this?  Are there others?

I tried replying to this yesterdays but apparently my PC went haywire.  I have the VHS tape that shows the same commercial you're seeing on DVD Set 4.

Is it just me but does anyone else feel that MPI could give us some behind the scenes type stuff on the DVDs in addition to the interviews? On the VHS tapes, pre-Barnabas, we get to see some really neat things like Nancy, Joan, Alexandra, Mitch and David preparing for their upcoming scenes. I'd love to see more of that type of stuff.  I wonder if anyone knows if MPI or is it Jim Pierson has commented on the production of the DVDs?

I will take and and all I can get on the dvd Collections , especially (if anyone was not aware) as I am still a newbie DS fan in very real terms as I have not even seen the entire series yet!

I don't know if you're planning on going to the fest but sometimes they show the actor's in things other than DS.  One year they had a scene from a 'drama made for TV' (I think) with John Karlen in it.  He was great as a tough guy.  Hope they show more stuff like this again. They've had clips of the actors on The Dating Game and interviews with Dick Cavet and Merv Griffin. I would love to see more behind the scenes filming that was done for DS. There has to be some stuff with Mitch Ryan and the others.  I'm not looking for incriminating stuff but just funny, joking around, that sort of thing. It would be interesting seeing them set up the 'special effects'.
