Dark Shadows : News/Speculation/Discussion

[blueiris]

I was just a child when it was first on, but I never missed an episode. I have only watched a few episodes from time to time since then.

Did you see the newer version they did a few years back? It didn't last long, but I watched it till they snatched it off the air.

No, never watched the '91 show. I did see the clip for the 2004 pilot with Alec Newman though.

Hmm, hear about theWB wanting to remake the show, but it wasn't picked up because, "other shows seemed more deserving" (thats kind of what theWB said).

I saw some episodes of the original series, i think the more older episodes since it was still in black and white... Wow, that was supposed to be a soap opera (thats what a tv site describes it as)... Not a big fan, but it seemed kind of interesting.

Yes, lets not forget the two shows they picked instead just got canceled.

You just saw the black and white ones!? Oh, it got a lot better later (1795 was one of my favorites ).

Yes, very memorable shows.

I think 1897 was my favorite though, it was kinda strange though, but it had all my favorite characters in it (Got to love Magda, Pansy Faye and Quentin!).

Did anyone see the movies 'Night of Dark Shadows' and 'House of Dark Shadows"? One was about Barnabas and the other was about Quentin.

I've watched House Of Dark Shadows a few times, but I've only ever seen the end of Night of Dark Shadows

[Angelique]

So,what was everyone's favorite storyline?

[PYEWACKETT]

The gypsy hand of Count Petofi. Especially when the gypsies came after him to get the hand back.

Yes, I liked that storyline too! I liked all of 1897!

Night falls on the great estate of Collinwood
Stay indoors you really should

For if you don't you may expire
At the hands of a Vampire

If that fate you wish to escape
Keep your eyes open for a long dark cape

If you don't want to disappear
Of Quentin, you need to have some fear

To the cliffs please don't go
You might fall off you never know

Stay away from Petofi's hand
Or you might have trouble from a gypsy band

Of Angelique please beware
With her you must take plenty of care

Also you may want to stay free
From an alternate reality

If you take a trip into the past
You never know it might be your last

But if to Collinsport you do run
You just might have alot of fun.

[Angelique]

That's graet pye! Any more? Do you remember the words to Quentin's theme?

Here's something that I have no idea where I got, but I saved it:

Things Overheard at the Collinwood Branch of H & R Block!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"I'LL give you reason #206! I'll BITE you!"
"No, Roger, removing it from your bloodstream at this
point, will NOT exempt you from the liquor tax!"
"Yes, I suppose if your child is possessed, that makes TWO dependents."
"No, Mr. Collins, the Federal Government does NOT consider
Parallel Time a legal address."
"Miss Collins, I don't care WHY you decorated your room
in asbestos, but it's NOT considered a home improvement!"
"Mr. Blair, I fear you need to be more specific than
'V.P. From Hell' for your occupation."
"Well, I'd say if the child were dead half a year, and
then alive half a year, you should get half a deduction."
"No, Miss Hoffman, I will NOT stare at your amulet. You owe $200!"
"Your only account is at a BLOOD bank?"

[PYEWACKETT]

That was funny. The problem is that I haven't seen the shows for several years and I can't remember some of the specifics. I wish that the SciFi channel would start running it again. It's better than alot of the stuff that they are showing now.
