Calendar Events / Announcements '17 II / OT: A Wig for Miss Devore
« on: October 31, 2017, 03:39:57 AM »
A vengeful 18th century Witch and a mysterious wig that may have a curse on it are just two ways in which this episode of BORIS KARLOFF'S THRILLER, "A Wig for Miss Devore," seems to foreshadow elements of DS:

Originally aired in 1961... it's become a favorite Halloween treat of mine over the years.

MB, the pricing of the Dan Ross paperbacks in my area was the same as what you cite.  All of mine long ago went the way of all flesh.  I think I may still have one on a DS shelf purely as a memento.

Uncle Roger, that is a fascinating snapshot of Charlton Press.  In that fab literary capital, Derby CT.  LOL!

cheers, G.

Wasn't there another outfit called Charlton that did some horror themed comics in the 1960s?  That is what I remember,at any rate. 

Those Dell DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN covers are so cool...

I know I should just go way back and look, but I keep thinking that the blouse Maggie wore for this Blue Whale dinner scene was the same as the blouse she wore in those cut scenes from the start of the film. 

Maybe tonight I'll go back to the start of the thread and see if I'm hallucinating again.  And next I will ponder whether the blouse was "by Junior Sophisticates." LOL

Danny Horn snarks his way through an account of the hoDS publicity campaign.  Mildly amusing.

Interesting.  There are much better photos of Jonathan crowning Miss Vampire than the one used here, but the ones I have seen were black and white and this is color, so perhaps that's why this was used.  I had never seen this shot before.

That's nice to know, Tragic Bat.

I think Diana Gabaldon is a very competent writer, but I don't think I care for the personality she projects in her work.

It's not much of a spoiler to reveal that Lord John falls madly in love with Jamie.  I did not care for how one part of this long-drawn-out scenario was written in one of the books I read.  After I stopped, she published one where the two had to work together on something or other.  That might have been interesting.

I'm tempted to say I suspect this novelist of sadistic tendencies, but the dynamic that characterizes how she writes this type of story is very popular in such slash sub-genres as "hurt/comfort" and the like.  So, she might be working in that framework.  I have no idea.  It could just be how her mind works because I don't think she is involved much in online culture.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks for moving my post to the correct thread, MB.  I was offline for about six days on one of my Canadian jaunts and didn't realize this had already been posted.

I read awhile back that in the new season, the prominent gay character of the Outlander series, Lord John something or other, is going to appear.  The only books by the author I have read were two novels featuring Lord John that were mostly spinoffs, though Jamie appeared in at least one of the books.  A friend told me about the books and I looked for them.  After the second novel, I stopped because I did not really care for the author's sense of plot and characterization.

Calendar Events / Announcements '17 II / DS clip on OUTLANDER
« on: October 11, 2017, 04:04:31 PM »
I presume you have all heard of this by now.  I thought it was an interesting crossover moment, given that the basic plot structure in OUTLANDER really seems to echo the whole Vicki/Peter thing on DS (which is the storyline this clip is from--somebody involved in this new series is definitely more than just a casual fan of out show):

http://www.collinsporthistoricalsociety.com/2017/10/dark-shadows-meets-outlander.html

I have to confess I have not seen any of OUTLANDER but enjoyed this little article and the clip.

Congrats on your scoop with that still, MB!

I think their pose and respective expressions speaks volumes about their famous onscreen "chem"...

Calendar Events / Announcements '17 II / Marsha Mason - BRIGADOON (1966)
« on: October 03, 2017, 03:32:40 AM »
Marsha Mason, remembered for her memorable appearance in one episode of DS in 1970 as "Audrey the Leviathan Girl," appears in this 1966 TV version of the classic Lerner & Loewe musical BRIGADOON.  This was one of the more memorable TV events in my family during the period when DS was on.  The broadcast was repeated in 1968 and I watched both times.  I never understood why they didn't put it on again.

I'm afraid I almost literally laughed out loud when I read today's script excerpt.  First I imagined Roger delivering the line while literally fondling his own hair.  Then I wondered about the appropriateness of a grown man "rumpling" a fourteen year old's hair.

An interesting moment... well, that's one way to describe it... in our journey through this beleaguered screenplay.

Thanks, MB!
