Julia's backwards head-tilt as she begins to expostulate, and Liz's particularly icy deployment of "the freeze," are two of the few truly DS moments to be enjoyed in this film.

And if it weren't for your artistry, MB, I'm not sure I would ever have been aware of them.

MB, here's another one: "Retired Living Television."  They have a film slot they're calling "Creepy Cult Classics."

The rest of the programming by and large is less than inspiring.  I'm clueless about how television works now.  Apparently a lot of it is online broadcasting and this may be another example

That's a very cool shot of Lyndhurst with that tarp over the window, MB.  You really do find the coolest stuff!

Thanks again for all your work on this epic!

MB, I'm glad you enjoyed the little article.  I mainly remember the Junior Soph credit from PT 1970.  It might have continued for Summer of 1970; it's been so long since I watched any of those episodes I can't recall now.

LOL, I often think of when these fans were visiting Grayson at home in '73 and they made a tape recording of their conversation.  They were talking about big stars who go to Europe and make films in the context of KLS's film career (since she had moved to Paris) and Grayson deadpanned, "Katie Scott is NOT a big star."  I always laugh when I hear that.

They did have what looked like a car (though it might have just been a frame) on the set in the scene in 1970 where Sebastian is driving Maggie to Windcliff.  I'd guess it probably was just a partial frame because the set was so cramped and I think the actual shooting area involved stairs.  I'd have to watch it again to see how much is visible.  There was a nice photo of that scene being shot in the original MY SCRAPBOOK MEMORIES book by KLS.

When Barnabas and Vicki were in a car in 1968 it was obviously just a mock-up.  That scene always cracks me up because they obviously took Roger Davis somewhere to film him trying to flag the car down on the road.  I wonder if that was the last film (or outside video) insert they ever had in the show.  It may have been.

It could be the dude was remembering something that happened with the 1991 version.  I've read there were tons of bloopers in that even though DC proclaimed a couple of times that that version was going to be completely clean and free of mistakes. LOL

G.

Oh gawd.  That stuff was from Parker?  I should have known...

If I were more than just a rather remote bystander in fandom now, I'd have to read those things just to keep up with how people are re-conceptualizing the story.  Fortunately, I don't take the drugs that would be required to get through that stuff.

G.

Thayer and Clarice both have great scenes.  I don't know if they're in it much after the first part, though.

G.

That's a rather creative synopsis of the main narrative of the show.  Also, I still don't think I've ever seen some of these bloopers people talk about.  I remember a stagehand seen going behind a flat that had a window on it, on the OH set I think, in 1795 possibly, but not a glimpse of a modern car on the set during that period.  I also don't think Bil Baird's puppet bore any resemblance to a sock.  It looked like a cool bat puppet that might have gotten lost flying around Vampira's lair back in the Fifties and eventually found its way to Collinsport.

Thanks for the link, MB!
