I've been watching the episodes from Autumn 1966 and it's stunning just how good Henesy was in them.  I was disappointed when I found out that I had missed taping the episode in which David begs Vicki to remain at Collinwood when he learns that she has seen the ghost of Bill Malloy (what do ya do with a drunken sailor?)

I also loved it when he played Jamison possessed by Petofi.  That was a fabulous performance!

For those who haven't read it, there was an interview with David H in one of the recent Pom Press books--I think it was the updated Scrapbook Memories (which bore practically no resemblance to the original edition).

Julia's couture provides the *only* source of excitement for this viewer during the current storyline.

A friend just described the DS Festival program cover; he said it featured a photo from the session with Grayson, Jonathan and Alex Stevens in wolf makeup that he had never seen before.

Can anyone confirm to me whether this was a new shot, or just the one we've all seen before?

And, if it is a new shot, can anyone post it here for those of us who did not attend?

Ohhhh Jennifer you don't know what you're doing to me...

invoking our luscious, lascivious Donnie on a Monday a.m.!  It's a lucky thing I am not behind the wheel of a car right now cuz Don puts me right OUT OF CONTROL!

Around Halloween time I usually get out the tapes of the Tom Jennings storyline.  I love Tom's subsequent reappearances, too--my favorite is the "Joe Haskell is now officially bonkers" episode (poor Joe).

Ugh, I remember all too well the horror of those nasty, scratchy, revolting sweater-vest outfits.  I think my Mom only tried once or twice--I simply rebelled.

Those who were not around for the early 70s will never realize the martyrdom they escaped.  Sheer sartorial agony.

Oh, sorry about the gaffe!  He looks just like Pierson to me.

care to ID any of the other photos?

of course, we DS fans do enjoy an air of mystery!

Thanks to Joeytron for posting these.  Can anyone identify the people shown in the various photos?  In Part One, it looked as if the first two were of Miss American Vampire 1970, but I'm not sure... I wasn't there.

dom, that guy whose mug shot appears at the end of the On Stage series is one of your favorite people--Mr. Jim Pierson!!

I have no idea who the two men are in "behind the scenes," but the younger one looks like James Caan to me.

Thanks for posting this, Stuart.  I wonder just what Mr. Pierson means by the statement that events will continue to be held "if the support is there"?  On the heels of the announcement that this year's Festival broke all preceding attendance records (despite the difficulties many fans expressed with Labor Day weekend as a date), it would seem obvious that there's a real market for Dark Shadows conventions out there.

I wonder what format the Tarrytown Festival will take?  I know there's no way that Lyndhurst could accommodate more than a fraction of the crowds the Festivals traditionally attact, though, if there's nice weather, fans could have fun outdoors on the grounds socializing and perhaps sharing picnic baskets.  I'm assuming the main base of the event would be an area hotel, with the traditional day trip to Lyndhurst occupying at least one day's events.

I wonder whether there have ever been discussions with the Carey family about having the event in Newport and at least one day spent on the grounds of the *real* Collinwood?  Again, issues of crowd control might make this prohibitive.  The house is already suffering a lot from the wear and tear of the elements.
