Photo Shoot Series: The Ghouls of 1968

Continuing our series of specific photo shoots, let us now focus on one of my favorites:  the monsters facing Collinwood in that fabled year of 1968, when witches, warlocks, vampires, and Frankenstein-inspired monsters stalked the great house.  (I particularly enjoy the fact that, though Barnabas was technically cured during this portion of the story, he is shown fully fanged in each photo.)

 

Behind the Scenes of NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS

Kate Jackson as doomed Tracy Collins.

Dark Shadows Episode #1256

Previously on Dark Shadows:  Joe Haskell has been released from Windcliff ... but why, and by whom?  And is he really cured?  And meanwhile, Carolyn's new beau, Dr. Jared Strangeworth, has some connection to Beth Maples, Elizabeth's new secretary ... what dark powers do they possess?  And why has Quentin's new bride, the fiercely-willed Tracy, been visited by a ghost?

Dark Shadows Episode #1255

Previously on Dark Shadows:  Angelique Collins was dead, murdered by Lamar Trask in the year 1841.  Yet somehow her spirit has been returned to the flesh ... but she is powerless ... and full of vengeance.  Elsewhere on the great estate, there are two new visitors -- Beth Maples, secretary and companion to Elizabeth, and Dr. Jared Strangeworth, summoned to Collinwood by Professor Stokes and secretly courting Carolyn.  But are either of the pair what they seem?

Photo Shoot Series: Meeting Maggie Evans (Episode 1)

I'm a huge fan of the various photo shoots that have been published over the years (many pictures captured by Kathryn Leigh Scott's first husband, Ben Martin, who haunted the Dark Shadows stage with fair frequency).  Collecting them is fun; looking for minute differences, arrangements, angles, etc. is fun as well.  Let's start, naturally, with the first episode, specifically the scene where orphaned Victoria Winters meets hash-slingin' Collinsport Diner waitress Maggie Evans.  "You're also a jerk ... J-E-R-K!"

The Fits and Fashions of Mrs. Cassandra Collins

Unsure of the perfect wig and/or shade of green to don and for which occasions?  Look no further than Cassandra Collins, diva and demon extraordinaire, circa Collinwood 1968.  Perfect for:

Sassing the sister-in-law.
 

Plotting the demise of your ex's best friend/stalker.

Pruning.

Obtaining legal advice.

Eavesdropping.

Descending a staircase.

Sizing up your ex's reincarnated/recently kidnapped/brainwashed/ingenue/waitress.
