Happy 600,000 (plus!) Views!
Thanks, you guys, for keeping up with me and my silly little project that I've been working on now for almost ten years ... and at some point in the past day or so we reached 600,000 views! I think we hit 500,000 in late 2019, so that's pretty impressive! We'll celebrate in the same way ... with my favorite Dark Shadows photo!
I picked this clipping from a 60s teen mag at a Fest one year; I really need to get it framed at some point.
And here it is in (faux) color!
And, ah hell, here's another image from the shoot which, undoubtedly, you're super familiar with (since it first appeared, outside of teen mag-land, in the 1995 Dark Shadows Almanac and then as the cover image of the 1996 MPI compilation video Vampires and Ghosts):
Thanks for all your support over the years ... stay tuned for more!

Happy 30th Anniversary, Dark Shadows Revival!
AKA the 1991 Series.
One of my gateway drugs into the Dark Shadows universe, and I was SO EXCITED (I can vividly remember the NBC Movie of the Week logo scrolling across the screen, and that music!) ... my mom allowed me to tape every episode, and then I watched them faithfully, over and over again. Those, coupled with my recordings from TBS of House and Night of Dark Shadows, the Best of Dark Shadows VHS I'd borrow from my friend's mom AND her two Paperback Library books, were my only window into the world of DS. I realize that 91 series has lots (and lots) of problems -- and if you ever try to watch the DVDs, you'll notice that they lost the "day for night" effect, for some reason, so it looks like Barnabas is running around and snarling at his victims mid-afternoon -- but I love it.
Thirty years ... how the hell did that happen? Part of what freaks me out is the fact that, when the 91 series debuted, it was only 20 years after the original went of the air, and 25 since its debut.
Anyway, happy anniversary, Dark Shadows 1991 -- I love ya!
And then, this cover for a never-released issue of Innovation's defunct '91 comic adaptation, and one which I would KILL to have been able to enjoy! Cassandra Laura!!! CASSANDRA LAURA!!!
