Granted I haven't been paying much attention to any of this, I somehow thought these were set during the period of time after Woodward's death and "transformation" at the hands of Barnabas, and subsequent destruction.

Terrible dialogue, awful art.

I thought both series were dire. My only encounters of either was when I was home on visits from college since I did not own a TV set in my dorm room (or my own place when I finally got one).

I guess next will be a re-boot of Love Boat as something really horrific, like delegates to the Republican National Convention having a pre-convention cruise. Yikes.

I never really watched Fantasy Island, but I think Ricardo Montalban's host character was named Mr. Rourke (or "Roarke").

Fans,

In the wake of the Banana Splits being "re-booted" as a slasher thriller, apparently Fantasy Island is now a big budget feature film from some outfit called Blumhouse, re-configured as a horror mystery adventure. The blurb:

The enigmatic Mr Roarke makes the secret dreams of his lucky guests come true at a luxurious but remote tropical resort, but when the fantasies turn into nightmares, the guests have to solve the island's mystery in order to escape with their lives.

It sounds more like the old ABC Movie of the Week Haunts of the Very Rich, which in turn was kind of a horror update of the old play and film, Outward Bound.

It seems ironic that these old shows have been re-booted as horror, while DS was rebooted by Burton-Depp as comedy; go figure.

Today's caption is a scream. I'm imagining Julia wearing a leather bomber jacket, the dark glasses and carrying a large Uzi... her next line is "Make... my .... DAY!"

I can definitely see why this publishing company folded.

Thanks, MB. I don't recall that scene at all.

Those cliffs really scream California...

Current Talk '24 I / Miss Hoffman and the "Blood of Dracula"
« on: January 21, 2020, 02:25:51 AM »
Last night's late movie was BLOOD OF DRACULA (1957) which should have been titled I WAS A TEENAGE VAMPIRE... set in an exclusive girls' school. Among the faculty is Miss Branding (Louise Lewis), who is "experimenting" to prove the existence of a "terrible power" within each human that would make the pursuit of atomic bombs an irrelevance. Miss Branding, whose experiments involve hypnosis using an elaborately carved medallion which came from a "legendary" region of the Carpathian mountains, seemed quite reminiscent of a certain obsessed lady doctor who debuted on Dark Shadows ten years after this film was released, in the Summer of 1967. I should stress that Miss Branding seemed to foreshadow the original concept of Julia Hoffman--which altered considerably thanks to the genius and popularity of Grayson Hall in the role. The frustrated, coded-as-lesbian scientist in the 1957 film did not meet so kindly a fate.

Complete film here:

How odd. Today's illustration from the comic book looks as if it could have been used by Burton as a storyboard for a sequence in his DS movie.

I'm sure that was never released as a pub photo. You can see the stagehand holding the end of her train. I think this photo first surfaced just a couple of years ago. It must have been from a still photographer's archive... I have no idea whether Getty really has legal ownership of that image.

I don't know enough about today's Hollywood or the "industry" as it is now to know if hosting this thing means Jenna Dewan's career is dead in the water. At one time, that is what it would have meant. But if the show takes off, she'll make a lot of money off doing it.

Given how much smoke DC always had hanging in the air in what I recall of the 1991 series, that "style" does make sense for a 1991 DS comic book.

Chris's comic books about working on DS are fun.
