In which I say that Dark Shadows generally, and The Re-Haunting of Collinwood segment specifically, is best viewed in black and white.

Episode 1104: The Burning
Fans of Dark Shadows sometimes claim that there is a spooky coincidence about the death of actress Clarice Blackburn. If you look more closely, you will see that the coincidence is even spookier than generally realized.
Episode 1106: Lady Is a Vamp
I think of a way they could have used the resemblance between Donna Wandrey and Grayson Hall to their advantage.
Episode 1110: Attack of the Clones
I mention a part I wish Virginia Vestoff had played in the 1897 segment.
Episode 1112: The Boy Friend
My last reference to the bossy big sister/ bratty little brother dynamic that is so well represented in the relationships that work on Dark Shadows.
Episode 1114: The Unshakeable
How Barnabas found his soullessness-mate.
Episode 1115: The Gun Runner
I put in a word for Virginia Vestoff and Donna Wandrey.
Episode 1116: That’s Us In There
I mention Lela Swift, principal director of Dark Shadows throughout its run and, for the last part of the show, its line producer.
Episode 1117: Meanwhile, Again
In which I mention two episodes of Columbo that would have been better with Jonathan Frid as the murderer.
Episode 1118: Getting Ahead
In which I suggest that the “Head of Judah Zachery” might be a borrowing from C. S. Lewis’ 1945 novel That Hideous Strength, a best-seller in which a group of devil worshipers take their orders from a severed head kept in a box in a curtained room.
