Dr. Julia Hoffman ... JULIE NEWMAR
Exciting news, as you've doubtless already heard, and as I briefly mentioned yesterday: Julie Newmar, my favorite Catwoman of all the Catwomen, will be playing Dr. Julia Hoffman in Big Finish's latest opus, Bloodline, the sequel to 2016's Bloodlust (of which I am a very big fan). Julie's been very busy the past few years doing voice overs for the animated movies based on the 1966 Batman series, so I think it'll be quite a trip to hear my favorite feline femme fatale give life back to our beloved vampire's vampire physician.

House of Dark Shadows: Mad Science
Julia and her science tools.
(Also: how cool is it that Julie Newmar will be paying the good doctor in the forthcoming Bloodline audio series from Big Finish? Meow!)

Dark Shadows Comic Strip Season 6 Premiere!
Somehow I've been making and publishing my own adaptation of Dark Shadows via the medium of comic stripness for a year longer than the actual show was televised. But I'm having a great time! I've also strayed fairly far from the continuity as we know it; that's okay (I promise) ... the characters as I present them and move them around in a variety of story arcs are pretty much as they appeared on ABC-TV back in the (fifty-plus years ago) day.
If you want to catch up, you can click on the "comic strip" link; to facilitate your understanding more immediately than that, here's a wee summary and the season finale from last year. Enjoy!
Collinwood in the year 1968 has been beset by a variety of monsters: Cassandra Collins, witch from another world, has been transported from a parallel dimension and transformed into a vicious vampire by Barnabas Collins; Chris Jennings has suddenly become a werewolf out of the blue, and though his new boyfriend, Joe Haskell, is absolutely fine with it, Joe has become Cassandra's victim and lingers near death; Quentin and Angelique have learned that "the Lord," a mythical force of magical darkness rumored to be stronger even than the Devil, is Count Andreas Petofi ... and that he has taken possession of Angelique's beloved brother Aristede ...
(Here's a tip ... if you want to enjoy the color Sunday strips, open them in a new tab and then blow them up so you can read them nicely and clearly.)
And now ... the Season 6 premiere ....

Lara Parker Biting Johnny Carson
We've all heard the story of how Lara Parker "killed" Johnny Carson (well, you have if you read her chapter "Out of Angelique's Shadow" in the 1990 Dark Shadows Companion) by going on the Late Show and biting him on the neck. Has anyone out there ever seen it? I hadn't ... but I also forgot that I had this. While digging through an old box of photos today I found evidence that I'd purchased at a DS fest a billion years ago, taken with an old Kodak straight from the idiot box itself: a befanged Lara about to sink her sharp pearlies into the willing throat of Johnny Carson himself. Pretty cool, huh?

Collinwood Revisted
I love this cover of Collinwood Revisted from the 80s -- it used to be advertised in the back of my old World of Dark Shadows zines -- it seems to be a drawing of Angelique from Night of Dark Shadows, but she's a vampire! Huzzah!
