Jonathan Frid reads abridged version of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'

[PennyDreadful]

Hello DS Forum cousins,

I haven't posted in awhile, but thought I'd pop in to say "hi."

Sometime in the late 80's or early 90's, I remember calling this hotline to hear Jonathan Frid read a very short version of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. Someone put it up on Archive.Org...

Hope everyone is doing well, and staying safe.

Wonderful, Penny! Thanks so much for posting.

Did you ever hear the recording of Jonathan and Lara doing a dramatic performance of Poe's poem "The Bells" at a DS Festival (or some kind of fan gathering) years ago? The recording is dodgy but it gives me shivers whenever I listen to it. It is also on Archive.

That sounds great, Gothick! I haven't listened to this. I will most certainly have to check it out!
Hope all is well!

Thanks for sharing the link, PennyDreadful. 

Thankfully the cases of the virus seem to be declining or holding steady where I am. But with the virus currently spiking in so many other places, are any of us really safe? Well, at least not 100%...

But on the upside if there can possibly be one, if you're into them rather than the plain ones, it's a good excuse to collect the DS masks that are being sold by creative DS fans.

The person who posted that was me. I'll post the link to my archive page below. Other items of potential interest is the item mentioned later by Gothick, "The Bells" by Edgar Allan Poe. I have Jonathan Frid reading Dark Shadows fan fiction in Genesis of Evil. There's a reading from the 1991 Festival.. This is a transfer from Jonathan's personal copy of the VHS tape. I bought it at a Dark Shadows event. There are many other things related to Dark Shadow on that page. If anyone is from New England, if you remember Carolyn Fox from 94 WHJY, I have some of her shows. She's joined by well known local author Rudy Cheeks. I edited together two animated Buffy movies from the video games. I also have links to my novelization of Night of Dark Shadows.I also included all the issues from my online fanzine, Inside the Old House. Feel free to view and download any of these items. I hope you enjoy them  https://archive.org/details/@the_doctor_and_k9

There are a lot of fabulous treasures on your page, Doctor and K9! For me the prize jewels are a couple of those panels from that early 1980s Shadowcon... the technical panel and the writers' panel, in particular. Those were fascinating and involved people who worked on the show interviewed very seldom, or so I recall.

I thought of you last week because I acquired a DVD of the Dr Who serial The Stones of Blood, and it featured the original Romana Mary Tamm, along with the Doctor and K9 (who had more to do than in some of the stories of that period). The disc includes a fascinating short film about the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire where the outdoor scenes were filmed, hosted by Mary Tamm. It's so sad we lost her so young.

I'm glad you enjoyed the panels! I wish the quality was better, but as far as I know I'm the only person who recorded the entire panels. There are video tapes of highlights for that early Manhattan Shadows event, but nothing else of the entire panel. One of my tapes ran out seconds before the panel ended. I would love for a better quality record of it to surface, but that seems like a pipe dreamn.

For the sake of history, Manhattan Shadows I took place on September 24th, 1983, a one day Saturday event. It was the weekend before the first East Coast Festival, September 30-October 2. So my best friend and I made the trek from Newport RI to NY/NJ twice in less than two weeks.

It was sad that we lost Mary Tamm so young. I'm just grateful that she did a season of audio with Tom Baker and some Companion Chronicles before she passed. Elizabeth Sladen passed before she was able to reunite with Tom for another bunch of adventures.

Thank you for that!!! I was looking back over some older posts/threads and saw a link to your Shadowcon material on Archives, and then realized it was you who also posted this when I followed the link and saw the other items there!

'The Bells' with Frid and Parker was wonderful!

I still need to dig through some more of the things you uploaded. Thanks again for doing that!
