What a wonderful evening.  Even if not a technicolor wonder, being able to see hoDS in a film print as opposed to a projected DVD or other formatted disc must have been a wonderful experience.

I never saw NoDS in the theatre (we were out of town the one week it played in my local cinema--I remember well the poster showing up and how excited I was), and I'll admit I actually contemplated coming to SF for these screenings.

I remember the scene David describes with Angelique and Charles at the pf. and Laura coming in.   That is marvelous that the soundtrack has been fully restored!  A wonderful coup for Darren!

My personal guess is that it will be three to five years before Depp Shadows is completed and released (more likely to be five years, I would guess, given the schedules of Depp and Burton), and it will be a shame if we have to wait that long for Warners to release the 1970s feature films on disc.  But you know how the suits are.

Welcome to the Boards, MM#7.  I am also looking forward to hearing news of the screenings.  I'm sure it was a wonderful evening for everyone.

Please do feel free to express your thoughts about our favorite show and related projects here.  We have threads going on the original 1966-71 series, are currently cycling through episodes of the 1991 series on a one-episode-per-week schedule, and have had several discussions of the films as well.

Best wishes,

Gothick

For those who care--this was not a stage play, but an hour long drama transmitted in the "Bob Hope Chrysler Theatre" anthology series in October 1965.  The stars were Shelley Winters and Jack Hawkins. 

According to a recent notice on an IMDB board, episodes of the Chrysler Theatre are currently being broadcast on a new TV network, the "Retro TV Network."  Apparently there was an old syndication package from episodes of this show that was making the rounds back in the 1980s under a title something along the lines of Universal Star Theatre.  I suppose time will tell whether this episode eventually shows up.  I have contacted a number of vintage TV collectors and sales people over the years about this and nobody has ever had it.

MB, I wonder whether Carolyn got frostbite from that delightful "welcome" from the Lady Eve?

Of course, we all know that Miss Stoddard can give in the FREEZE dept. as good as anyone could get her (excuse snarled syntax) ... after all, she trained with the best ... Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, who can freeze like nobody's business!

Thanks for making me smile.  In Other News, what's up with today's front page image?  Looks as if Grayson was getting another pesky visit from everybody's favorite Extra, Miss Ima Fly!

Hi Darren, it all sounds tremendously exciting; wish I could be there!

Can you tell us more about the hoDS print you'll be screening?  It sounds fabulous!

Best luck,

Steve

I saw episode one.  It was not really my cup of tea.

What a deliciously adulatory tribute!  I love John Epperson aka "Lypsinka" and, needless to say, I adore the Divine RJ Jamison.

These are all fabulous, and how great to have a shot of Oberon!  I liked him so much better than the replacement Leviathan (can't remember his name) from that one episode with Marsha Mason.

The one of John Karlen against the Tarot card stained glass window is so gorgeous, I wonder whether Janet the Wicked could somehow send a copy of it to John Karlen himself?

When I loaned the DVD of Daughters of Darkness to a friend, I got an email a day or two later exuberantly informing me that Karlen should have had a career as a major Seventies pornstar!  I *think* Johnny would have taken that as a compliment...

Someday, there will be an Archival section of this site, with pages and pages of clippings just like these.

It may have to wait for the Mysterious Benefactor to retire, but it WILL happen...

cheers!  G.

To Philippe, and anyone else interested in the Collectors Series DVD sets--

Amazon is now offering set 2 for 31 bucks and change, and you get free shipping (make sure to check that option since it defaults to the paid rate when it moves you to the postage page). 

As of today, two of the Amazon Vendors are offering set 3 of Collectors' Series for $28 bucks plus change, which with the standard $2.50 charge for shipping brings it to the same price as set 2. 

I can't wait for the Laura sets to start showing up at these prices!

I was going to say that Mrs Johnson never kept any secrets--apart from the fact that her son Harry, who was for a time working odd jobs around the estate, was an ex-con--but then I recalled the whole premise of her original employment at Collinwood.  I always wanted a scene where Mrs J could be reminiscing to one of her old cronies, "I was Burke Devlin's spy!"

I love, love, LOVE the scene where a drunk, lurching, giggling Carolyn is informing all and sundry in the PT 1970 drawing room, "I know ALL the secrets!"  Priceless stuff.

I thought the little girl who played Sarah was really, exceptionally good.  She projected the quality I felt was needed in the character just beautifully.

I only ever saw this episode on VHS once in the mid Nineties, and remember very little of it.  I remember thinking the whole business with Professor Woodard was truly beyond Velveeta on the cheese scale.  And, sadly, a harbinger of things to come in this series.
