One would think that with all the many options for streaming channels, there should be one dedicated to airing classic soaps. I’m frankly surprised there‘s none!

Nope...no idea! Still no part 6 in sight. I hope it’s not a repeat of the long many-years wait between parts 2 and 3! We’ll be long gone from this earth before they get to the end.

Do you think it’s been bumped from the schedule or postponed? 9/11 is right around the corner and no Amazon preorder yet.

Mine arrived day before yesterday and I already pre-ordered Part 4!

Charles, did you find out why such a long lag time between releases?

I can’t believe this is finally happening and there hasn’t been a major announcement! I had all but given up hope and just checked again on a whim, and there’s Part 3 for preorder! Getting mine right now!

Seriously? Because the Krystle/Rita storyline was Emmy-quality writing?

Charles, that would be a dream bonus, but sadly, I don't hold out much hope for it! I think that if they exist anywhere, we would have heard about it. I believe I read once that Dark Shadows was unique in that video or kinescope exists for every episode but one. Most other daytime soaps were...

The Dynasty Reunion gets such a bad rep! Sometimes I think I'm the only person in the world who actually likes it! Can I admit that without being flogged in the town square?? I will agree with everyone that it's not a fitting end to the show, but it's all we got! At least it brought...

i am currently at the "Friends of 1991 Dark Shadows" festival in Norwalk, CT to benefit Lockwood-Matthews Mansion (St. Eustis Island abandoned monastery from House of Dark Shadows). Yesterday we toured Essex to see Sam and Maggie's cottage, the Collinsport Inn (lunch there), the waterfront...

Brian, I don't think I could disagree more! (albeit, respectfully of course!). I don't have the examples for a formal debate, but for now I'll just say that I feel Alexis (like Sable) was never an out and out villain...she was always likable (to me anyway), and more often than not, I felt she...

I'm ambivalent about Leslie, Kirby and Amanda...none of them had long enough runs to make me love them...but Claudia and Sammy Jo??? Come on!! They are Dynasty staples!!! The best was their cat fight!

I love the Leviathan arc, and I know that I'm in the minority on that. Once again, I march to a less-than-popular drummer!

Great thread!! Thanks for telling me about it Mark! Love the photos!

Yes you're right Mark! I have been waiting for The Colbys forever!!! Now, they've GOT to release the Dynasty movie to complete the series! I have already placed my preorder for The Colbys. Love this show!!!

I don't post much, but I have to stick up for Charles and Mark--I don't think their posts are obnoxious or obsessed at all. "Dedicated" and "loyal" are two words I would use. Mark has become a good friend to me, and I have met Charles at Dark Shadows Fests and he is likable, knowledgeable and...

There is a new full cast audio drama coming out in January. "Dark Shadows: Bloodlust" has original stars David Selby, Lara Parker, Kathryn Leigh Scott, Marie Wallace and Jerry Lacy. It also stars Alec Newman, who played Barnabas Collins in the 2004 Dan Curtis DS remake for the the WB. Big...

Yes--I got my coffin set directly from Amazon directly. I only SOLD my old set on eBay.

I had purchase all 32 volumes on DVD, but had to go in for the coffin complete set. I sold the 32 volumes on eBay and the money paid for the coffin set!

Oh very much like Seeeney Todd! Except for the 1970s look--which is kitschy-kooky. I bought the BluRay too, because I'm captivated by the beauty of the film! Wait until you see Collinwood!!

LOL--now now! Not ALL fans! I'm about as diehard DS fan as they come (with the original series) being my favorite of course. But, I happen to like the Burton film. I never expected it to come close to the original series, so I wasn't too disappointed. I gave it a solid "B-" for a grade...

Mark,I have "Seizure" but haven't watched it yet! I also bought Joan Bennett's "Suspiria". anxious to watch them both!

Well--two major news items, INDIRECTLY related to this thread. I'm sure some of you already know them. First, Dallas has been canceled by TNT. This is a major blow for the fans because it was a VERY good show, despite what some of the diehard Larry Hagman/Victoria Principal fans may say...

I hope you're right Mark--and you're welcome. I want it as much as you and everyone here. Stuart--I know what you mean about the two Shout releases possibly scaring off other distributors. I think MOD may be the only option.

Ok....no news yet! What is wrong with these people?

Me too, Charles! This is GOING to happen - I have faith in that. I'm just not sure if it will be done as "made-on-demand" or not. I think the main problem that commercial video producers have feared is that the original fan base of a show like "Peyton Place" is now getting up there in age. I...

I think it's supposed to be Massachusetts, and there ARE many little towns that look just like that there. But, it's "based" partly on Gilmanton, NH (where Grace Metalious lived), so I can see where some people would believe that. Does anyone know where the opening credits and some of the...

I'll be there Charles--I've been going to the Fests with my friend Sue on both coasts for at least five years now. I don't think you know me, but I know who you are from your interactions with the cast--and they all know you! Plus...they all depend on your extensive knowledge of the storylines...

Sorry for the multiple posts! I'm posting from my iPhone and didn't realize it had gone through three times! Also, it appears there's not an option to "delete" your own posts when on iPhone!

There are TWO of these cast shots--the first one has the entire cast looking appropriately dour and mysterious, worried, ominous....and then this one--all smiles. I suspect after taking the first one for promotional purposes, the photographer said, "ok everyone--now, all smiles just for fun!"
