The University rf Dayton News Release JONATHAN FRIO'S 'FOOLS AND FIENDS' COMING TO UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 13, 1989--An eerie, witty and sometimes humorous show is coming to the University of Dayton. "Fools and Fiends," a storytelling delight with a definite Halloween flavor, will be presented by actor Jonathan Frid on Wednesday, Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. in the Kennedy Union Ballroom on campus. Tickets are $8 and may be purchased at the door beginning 45 minutes before the performance. "Fools and Fiends" is a presentation of the UD Arts Series. Perhaps best known for his portrayal of vampire Barnabas Collins on the gothic soap opera Dark Shadows, Frid has spent four decades in television, film and the theater in the United States, Canada and England. ''Fools and Fiends" showcases Frid's adept storytelling as he relates such tales as "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe, "Mr. Preble Gets Rid of His Wife" by James Thurber and "The Man Who Loved Flowers" by Stephen King. A native of Canada, Frid received a degree from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario before attending London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. He later earned his master's degree in directing from the Yale School of Drama. He was a leading actor in English repertory for two seasons and has worked in a number of America's most celebrated regional theaters, touring nationally in the American Shakespeare Festival's acclaimed production of Much Ado About Nothing with Katharine Hepburn. He re-created his popular TV role opposite Joan Bennett in the MGM feature House of Dark Shadows, and in 1986 joined the Broadway cast of Arsenic and Old Lace for 10 months, co-starring with Jean Stapleton.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

Night is drawing nearer and nearer to Collinwood. Another man has come—a stranger who is not a stranger. Everyone pushes Willie Loomis around, like a scarecrow, and he only makes it worse busting Barnabas Collins from his casket. That’s Barnabas, looking as if he were alive, posing next to his ancient portrait at the foot of the stairs. Barnabas Collins, source of my childhood nightmares, rolls the “r” in “Victoria” with a lilt, a graceful excess, prim and courtly and swallowing blood. _________________________ Over drinks at The Blue Whale, Burke spends half an episode apologizing to Carolyn, who walks out when the samba music starts. Two great houses in Collinwood, Barnabas compares one to the pyramids of Egypt: “The plaster walls were made from crushed clamshells and horsehair.” Joe, distracted at The Blue Whale, keeps seeing that little calf drained of his blood (but doesn’t seem to notice the half-shell ashtrays).

I’m finally set up in my new apartment with a working computer and internet connection. The address there is 2412 Still Forest Pl., Apt. F, Raleigh, NC 27607. My phone is still (919) 633-4993. I’m so lonely. The good news, though, is that I’m getting this out before DeepSouthCon (okay, it’s tomorrow). I hope to see a whole bunch of y’all there. I tried to pimp it out last month, and I’m not sure how much good another rant would do, so let’s just say I hope to see a bunch of you there (and for those of you outside the South, if you don’t feel like joining us there, we can always meet at Worldcon). Let’s get on with this ish! Rebel Yells Letters from the South and abroad Here we go, folks! Another zine, another Letter Column. Starting off, we heard from the ever- friendly Jeff Thompson: Thank you, Warren, for Update #5. I always enjoy reading what you and the other fen have to say. The hyperlinks proved interesting, too. I hope to meet you at Deep South Con five weeks from now. Also, I am going to speak about director Dan Curtis, Dark Shadows, horror, and my new 200-page McFarland book, The Television Horrors of Dan Curtis: Dark Shadows, The Night Stalker, and Other Productions, 1966-2006, at the Bellevue branch of the Nashville Public Library on June 18 at 6:30 PM; at the Green Hills branch of the Nashville Public Library on July 14 at 6:30 PM; and at the Dark Shadows Festival, August 14-15-16, in Newark, New Jersey (www.darkshadowsfestival.com).

Dark Shadows' Star Kathryn Leigh Scott Returns to Collinwood
'Dark Shadows' star Kathryn Leigh Scott returns to Collinwood March 12, 2012 Actress and author Kathryn Leigh Scott is remembered by millions of “Dark Shadows” fans as Maggie Evans and Josette DuPrés, the doomed fiancée of vampire Barnabas Collins. In its heyday, the original “Dark Shadow”s daytime series (ABC-TV, 1966-1971) attracted 20 million viewers. The spooky, literate, romance and horror-driven show had universal appeal —and came to be known as the program “kids ran home from school Courtesy Amazon to watch.” Jim Dixon Fanboys Examiner | Follow: View all 4 photos Related Photo: She and Jim Pierson have previously collaborated on five top-selling books about Dark Shadows and a coffee table book about the career of its creator, the late producer-director Dan Curtis. Their latest collaboration is “Dark Shadows: Return to Collinwood,” an in-depth look at five decades of the classic Gothic horror soap opera that made sympathetic vampire Barnabas Collins a pop culture phenomenon and prompted the big- screen revival starring longtime fan Johnny Depp, directed by Tim Burton. You don’t have to talk to Kathryn Leigh Scott long to realize she’s intelligent, cultured and sophisticated. She’s also very down-to-earth with a disarming sense of Courtesy Kathryn Leigh Scott humor, and loves to talk about the groundbreaking series that made her a pop culture icon. She was still a student when she was cast: “We did “Dark Shadows” in New York City in our own studio on West 54th Street, and I began auditioning for the series while still a student at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts .

FREE HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS PDF Robert Liparulo | 289 pages | 05 Dec 2009 | WestBow Press | 9781595547279 | English | Nashville, TN, United States Watch House of Dark Shadows () Online Free - Movie25 Collinwood Mansion is a fictional house featured in the Gothic horror soap opera Dark Shadows — Built in by Joshua Collins, Collinwood has been home to the Collins family—and other sometimes unwelcome supernatural visitors—since its inception. The house is located near the town of CollinsportMaine, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Almost every resident of the town is too scared to even drive by the house due to rumors and legends. The house has more than 40 rooms, most of which are closed off due to lack of inhabitants and House of Dark Shadows reasons, and more than a few secret passageways, including a room that is a gateway to a parallel timeline, a stairway through time, and one room that appears to be a playroom to some, and nothing more than a linen closet to others. Most of the household activity is centered in the drawing room and foyer and sometimes the kitchen, dining room, and study. Collinwood has, throughout its history, seemed to upset and anger its inhabitants and anyone else who is unfortunate enough to step over the threshold and through the enormous oak front doors. It has been the scene of much death, random violence, and other such misfortune. Most local people find it easier to just avoid it and the Collins family altogether. The following rooms appeared on-screen House of Dark Shadows the run of the original series:.
