I agree about the photos in the ORIGINAL edition of "My Scrapbook Memories." Miss Scott's writing talents have made a lot of progress since that time.

The photos of Thayer in the antique store are among my all-time faves.

I think there may already be a thread for this, but it must be buried way down several screens away.

A few days ago Stuart Manning's newly compiled homage to our show, Daytime Gothic, arrived in the cobwebbed catacombs of Gothickwood. I could really pile on the superlatives in attempting to describe this gorgeous new tribute to our beloved Dark Shadows. To start with, it's absolutely stunning as a visual artifact, with numerous photos I have never seen before--and given how much DS material circulates online now, that's a major achievement in and of itself!

Somewhat surprisingly to myself, the most touching article thus far in my reading has been KLS's remembrance of the late Mitchell Ryan. It's one of the best things she's ever written, and provides a lovely glimpse of an actor and a human I have never really known much about.

Matthew Hall, Grayson's son, contributed a great memoir of his parents, illustrated again with some great photos, including a wonderful one of Sam and Grayson together later in life. There's also this fabulous shot of Matt with full-on Fu Manchu mustache taken with his Mom at one of her garden parties (I think).

Our own Penny Dreadful aka Danielle wrote a fascinating piece enumerating ten classic horror tales, some quite obscure, that could have been mined for future DS storylines. Mark B. Perry contributes yet another promotional piece describing some of his ideas for his proposed "Next Generation" series. A writer I don't know offered a long article about "Port Charles" and influences from DS. My dear friend Laramie Dean composed an exquisite tale, "Ode to Angeliques," featuring a new appearance by our favorite Witch, the insidious Cassandra Collins. Ansel Faraj is represented with something about B horror movies and DS which looks like a lot of fun. Nancy Barrett and Lara Parker share memories of working on the show that are really heartwarming to read. And there's more, so much more.

cheers, Gothick

Celia has a good substantial role in this 1959 episode of the Michael Rennie-Jonathan Harris series, THE THIRD MAN, "How to buy a country":

Great conversation! It was quite cool to hear Darren mention that he's found two more clips of the movie with the original audio intact--and that one of those clips is a scene involving Grayson!

I hope to watch this on Archive; many thanks, Midnite!

I've only seen a couple of episodes of Hawaiian Eye, and I guess that was over ten years ago. It seems as if it was a cool show. I think it launched Robert "Bobby" Conrad's career.

$35 for the Robert Cobert DS complete music CD set is a really good price.

I'm curious (LOL) about the adaptations of two Lovecraft tales, "Pickman's Model" (which had a classic dramatization on Night Gallery back in the early 1970s) and "Dreams in the Witch House." The latter very loosely inspired the film Curse of the Crimson Altar co-starring Christopher Lee, Barbara Steele and Boris Karloff, back in 1968--one of my fave raves even though it's often dissed by other fans and critics.

Dear fans,
