Broody Barnabas

And Jonathan Frid, looking ordinary.

I love this shot; it showed up in the legendary scrapbook belonging to my best friend's mom when I was a kid, created by her from teen mags of the 1960s and shared with me when I was 9 or so, and reminds me of being a kid.  It also graced the cover of the first Marilyn Ross DS book devoted to the vampire America loves to hate.  How cool is that fake, headless bat flying in the background?


The Dream Curse (in livid color)

As is often the case with Dark Shadows, inconsistencies abound:  despite my incredible distaste for much of what happens during 1968 (including the GD Dream Curse, pictured below and improved, marginally, with some rad color effects), it still contains many of my favorite episodes.  Plus Cassandra.  Y'all know how I go for witches in wigs.




Beefcake/Blue Eyes

Quentin and Jeb, randomly, but who cares?  Hot is hot.


1968: Nicholas, Angelique, Roger, Julia


I'm sure I've posted this before, but only because it's such an interesting shot (from that famous staircase pose you've seen a billion times).

1991: Joe Haskell

Had a HUUUUUUGE crush on this guy.  That hair ... that stubble ... leather over flannel ... oh Joe Haskell, be my secret summer love!


Barnabas, the Groovy Ghoul

A Pictorial Ode to Donnie B

My boy, Don Briscoe.  Though I love me some Joel Crothers, my heart belongs forever to mah Donnie B.
