Nice shots! Is the show filmed in Newport, RI?

Current Talk '24 I / Re: Same Actors/Different Characters
« on: June 03, 2019, 11:32:54 PM »
Nancy Barrett, Thayer David, and Grayson Hall probably played the largest number of different characters over time. Nancy played Carolyn, Millicent, Charity, Charity-possessed-by-Pansy aka Pansity, PT Carolyn, half-mad old Carolyn, Laetitia, Melanie, and Amanda--a total of 9 characters.

But Thayer actually surpassed that record: he portrayed Matthew Morgan, Ben, Eliot, Sandor, Count Petofi, Petofi with Quentin's spirit trapped in his body, evil PT Tim Stokes (in some ways the most impressive performance of all--it was a master class in acting virtuosity), old Eliot, old Ben Stokes, Mordecai Grimes, and PT Ben Stokes. I make that a staggering total of 11 different characters/characterizations.

No wonder Frid felt frustrated that all he ever got to do was play Barnabas until nearly the end of the series.

Nice that the movie won the Rondo Award (bestowed by the Classic Horror Film fan board--it's not actually "the Rondo Hatton Award"). But honestly, that trailer looks soooo schlocky. And really rather boring.

I don't know if it is intended to be a comedy. It seemed as if it was trying hard to be funny.

I watched the first ten minutes or so and it reminded me so much of plays we did when I was in high school.

It was not really my cup of tea, but it's nice that the fan who wrote and performed in it has made it available for people to enjoy.

MB, you'll be interested to know that the author/star got into the 1960s series as a result of watching the Burton/Depp film at a friend's house. The movie made her curious about the original show and she immediately became addicted. The play she wrote was the eventual result.

Fans,

The author (and a star) of this send-up of DS, "The Complete series of Dark Shadows, ABRIDGED" posted a video of the production of the play here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iySpezQq4sk&feature=youtu.be

For those who may have interest. It is the complete play.

I'm glad Barnabas is on the cover, but in some ways it's even nicer to see Cesar Romero's classic incarnation of the Joker from BATMAN get such prominent display.

Cesar is how I always think of the Joker, but usually on websites these days his portrayal, if mentioned as all, is simply treated as ... a joke.

I checked the link my friend sent me for Tom Ellis's nudie cutie bits on LUCIFER. It does work. Note that this is technically NSFW although there is no frontal nudity. I guess it involves some kind of "spoiler" if you think seeing a fine slice of male derriere is a "spoiler."

There's a delightful edit on you tube of somebody's compilation of clips from an earlier season of this show. The storyline seems to involve Lucifer and the ex-husband of his female cop partner having to pretend to be living in the suburbs as a gay couple. Very slashy and of course... delicious!

I can post the link if interested.

cheers, GothEEEEEK

MB, that Highcliffe Manor video clip was put together by my buddy Curt, who also maintains a blog for Strange Paradise. If you look through his Youtube channel, Maljardin, he's done a number of fascinating videos over the years, often compiling ephemera for various series. I think he did one for Green Hornet a month or two ago.

Calendar Events / Announcements '24 I / OT: Cybernauts go Blu

The video viewable on this page promoting a new release of a trio of episodes from the classic 1960s British series THE AVENGERS is quite cool:

I recently listened again to one of Jonathan's 1983 Manhattan Shadows appearances where he reminisced, none too fondly, about how the first year on DS was "absolute hell" for him because of all the lines.

I think it was finally revealed after his death that he lived with a learning disability.

I saw some very hot photos today of a nude scene Tom Ellis did in one of the season 4 Lucifer shows. He only showed his derriere in the shots I saw but... Goddess, WHAT a derriere!

The link my friend sent me was to a "Tumbler" blog and may have since been deleted, since that site has been taken over by arch prudes... pity!

This show sounds like a lot of campy fun in addition to some highly gratifying eye candy from star Tom Ellis.

The pilot is accessible on archive dot org, but I don't know if google shows that as an early search result.

Strange indeed that fabulous Jessica Chastain would be identified as "Dark Shadows actress" given how many high-profile projects she's done since then. I thought she was utterly mind-blowing in CRIMSON PEAK.

THE INVADERS was offbeat and unusual. I think it was a "Quinn Martin" production and the last time I watched some of the shows, on VHS tapes back about 20 years ago, I did notice typical elements of standard police procedural/action adventure TV fare of the late Sixties period.

That's also nice to hear they're bringing that old Apes series out of the mothballs. I never watched that one.

News comes of the passing of Director John Llewelyn Moxey, who directed the original film NIGHT STALKER:

https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/john-llewellyn-moxey-dead-dies-charlies-angels-night-stalker-1203203445

I best remember JLM as the director of one of my all-time favorite films HORROR HOTEL (aka CITY OF THE DEAD) (1960). He also directed one of my favorite episodes of THE AVENGERS, "Who's Who??," a 1967 episode guest starring Freddie Jones and Patricia Haines.

He was 94.

The 1990s series FOREVER KNIGHT involved a centuries-old (but, of course, still quite dishy) vampire being helped by a woman police doctor who was in love with him and searching for a medical cure for his condition. Sound familiar?

Perhaps the best feature of the show was Lacroix, the lead character's vampire sire, played by the fabulous Nigel Bennett--I have an entire CD of Lacroix's darkly acid witticisms compiled years ago by a fan. I also loved Janette, who had been married to the lead vampire back in the Renaissance. She runs a nightclub in the first two seasons and is wonderfully played by Deborah Duchene (who retired from acting soon afterwards).

New DVD set out from budget label Mill Creek. They're not exactly known for quality releases.

https://bloody-disgusting.com/home-video/3558550/mill-creek-bringing-90s-series-forever-knight-dvd-complete-collection-set

I'm a bit surprised that this release is happening since I am not sure the show has been on the air recently. At one time, it was regularly shown on the Sci-Fi network.
