Update Number 387
October 3, 2016
Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,
ShadowGram (SG), The Official Newsletter & News Source for Dark Shadows (DS), provides the following news in this ShadowGram Official Dark Shadows News Online Update "Bulletin."
---- SHADOWGRAM PREMIERE-ANNOUNCES: LATEST NEWS:
“DARK SHADOWS 50TH ANNIVERSARY ENCORE” CELEBRATION OCT. 29-30
As premiere-announced and reported in recent SHADOWGRAM OFFICIAL DS NEWS ONLINE UPDATES, the DS Festival / Official DS Fan Club presents the DS 50th Anniversary Encore event on Saturday, October 29, from 12:00 noon-12:00 midnight.
The festivities will be held at the historic Woman's Club of Hollywood, 1749 N. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90046.
In the coming days, SHADOWGRAM ONLINE UPDATES will premiere-announce more expected DS guests and the tentative programming schedule.
*** Announcing:
Showing exclusively on the big screen in the Woman’s Club auditorium:
--- A first-look preview of the new feature-length “Dark Shadows” documentary film
--- Extremely rare and unique DS-related films and video surprises.
We celebrate the publication of LARA PARKER‘s new novel "Dark Shadows - Heiress of Collinwood." The book debuts here, before its November publication. Available 50th Anniversary commemoratives items for sale include apparel, a retro-style color-illustrated metal lunchbox, and a DVD collection from MPI.
Confirmed Attending Guests: LARA PARKER (beautiful witch Angelique), JOHN KARLEN (vampire caretaker Willie Loomis), NANCY BARRETT (head-strong heiress Carolyn Stoddard), JAMES STORM (menacing ghost Gerard), KATHRYN LEIGH SCOTT (waitress/governess Maggie Evans), ROGER DAVIS (painter Charles Delaware Tate), LISA RICHARDS (werewolf girlfriend Sabrina Stuart), and JAMES HALL (Willie Loomis #1).
Also joining us: Scenic Designer SY TOMASHOFF. He was responsible for DS’ memorably distinctive sets, props, etc. as the show crossed from the 1600s-1971, plus Parallel Time periods and a “flash-forward” sequence set in 1995. SY was nominated and won Emmy Awards for his work on other daytime series, notably THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL.
Also: Emmy and Grammy-nominated composer ROBERT COBERT wrote and arranged the DS music. He will be present to autograph special limited edition copies of the "Original Music from Dark Shadows" soundtrack album. First issued in 1969, it was a Top 20 album that year and remains in the Top 10 of best-selling TV scores of all time. Its 1969 release on regular black vinyl included a distinctive color front cover and a B&W back cover, plus a B&W photo insert poster of Jonathan Frid as Barnabas and David Selby as Quentin.
This past April, a special limited edition purple vinyl album was released for National Record Store Day. It replicates the covers and includes the 2 poster inserts. Although this limited edition record sold out nationally, a quantity of less than 200 was held in reserve for this Oct. 29 event. Attendees may purchase the album at the reduced price of $20.00 and have it autographed personally by Bob Cobert.
At the Woman’s Club on Saturday, YOU can meet our guests; have complimentary guest autograph and photo opportunities; be part of an audience Q&A session during an onstage cast reunion; enjoy dramatic and musical performances by the stars; watch rare video screenings; find a variety of DS and related memorabilia for sale; and more.
Our for-fun DS Halloween Costume Party invites fans of all ages to come onstage and share their own DS/Halloween creativity in their costumes and presentations, all for the participants and audience to enjoy. For info: Please email Marcy Robin at
ShadowGram@aol.com
In the charity auction Saturday afternoon, YOU can bid on many unusual exclusive items, benefiting the Woman’s Club. Included: Nancy Barrett’s vampire fangs from the 1970 film HOUSE OF DS and one of Kathryn Leigh Scott’s original DS costumes. Also, 10 winning-bid fans will join Kathryn in her Beverly Hills home for Sunday Brunch and a visit to nearby Greystone Estate, filming location for the 1991 DS primetime TV series and the 2004 WB DS TV pilot.
Sandwiches, snacks, and beverages will be available for purchase on site and a great variety of restaurants are close by.

Within easy walking distance are the iconic sidewalk routes of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and much more.

This hilltop estate offers distinctive and expansive views of the Los Angeles area spread out below. Greystone Mansion itself is closed to the public, but its extensive grounds are a free public park. Ample free parking is adjacent at the top of the hill above the estate.
The grounds and interiors were used extensively as Collinwood and the Old House for the 1991 NBC-TV primetime DS TV series and for the WB’s 2004 DS series unsold TV pilot. The estate is a familiar filming location for TV shows, movies, commercials, music videos, print photography, and more.

You know you're an obsessed fan of a certain actress when the question that goes through your mind reading the above remains: "Is Pierson FINALLY going to release Grayson Hall's Playtex commercial on the new DVD??"

---- NEW: PAY-AT-THE-DOOR OPTION
Not surprising (and I was happy to see there has been some advertising on other venues) since I didn't decide to attend until after the guest list had taken shape, and still I procrastinated for a time after that; I finally sent the payment and was shocked to receive a "badge" # in the very low 100s.
Please don't get me started about those badges.
What DID surprise me was how long it took before Pennock announced he would attend. Sorry.
The parking fee is interesting since the lot at the Woman's Club of Hollywood is usually free.

i also thought the "pay-at-the-door" option was telling...
it implied advance ticket sales were not strong. perhaps two "fests" withing the span of a few months was an overreach. i doubt many fans would travel extensively for both.

A lot of people who might have otherwise gone are going to the regular Sea View Terrace event in Newport.
The event itself seems rather haphazard. Every single DS event in my experience (including the one day events) offered an arrangement with a host hotel. This one does not.
I did consider going but the announcement came too late for me to be able to use a frequent flyer. The cost of an airfare at regular price is not in my current budget.

I am not on the mailing list for the Seaview Terrace event, but I've seen references to fans gathering there on the Book of Face. I thought it had happened last weekend but the references have been really vague so I honestly do not know.

I'm not on the Newport list either, though several of my friends are. Some of the more diehard fans have already been there a week.

I heard from a couple of people who attended. Nothing too much to report. Mitch Ryan apparently was a no show. No Nancy Barrett either. Nancy's husband is up in years and may not be in the best of health.
I'll see if anyone has more info.

Mitch was a no-show on the east coast too...
sorry but this little group of actors is hardly in "high demand". so the vague "scheduling conflicts" always sounds evasive. they really shouldn't agree to come if they're not going to show up.
if Nancy's husband is ill i'll cut her a pass but she's been a last minute cancellation before as well.
