Long live Willy! One of a kind! Also, pretty good as Carl Collins. Only on Collection 18 now so I haven't had a chance to watch his other characters. I'm sure John will shine in those roles as well!
Just Discovered This!! My Husband and I have been watching the original " Dark Shadows"...since the beginning of the pandemic in Feb..Almost every night...We both loved it as kids...and we never realized how much we missed...Have had Alot of FUN ..watching it together!! All the Actors...were so First Class...and kept on going...even when mistakes were made...Actors today could not live up to these people!! With their Do- Overs!! Thanks 4 Bringing This 2 Us All!! I Know I Will Have Many Hours .. Enjoying It!! Bring More!!
The music was like one of the cast. That is part of the reason I don't like the Big Finish audio productions. They went to other music, a big mistake in my opinion!
Dark Shadows is the Reason I became afraid of the Unknown as a preschooler. I've been a lifelong consumer of All things Horror. I am still this way at 60 years of age. ## BRILLIANT##
Thank for bringing DS : Return to Collinwood ... I have been a long time fan of DS for years . It's good to hear the voices of the original cast like David Selby , Roger Davis and the list goes on .
Dark Shadows was my favorite show growing up in the 60's, my into into Soap Operas.l grew up in NYC so l was able to meet some of the original cast n have photo albums of pictures of almost all of the D.S. cast. Just finished listening to Return to Collinwood,brought back lots of memories.
I have the coffin set of Dark Shadows and realized how much i had not seen and apparemtly started watching it when Barnabas came on but there was so much to see before that including seeing how many actors they had on here maybe in there first tv appearances like the father from Different Strokes Conrad Bain in a one show appearance as the hotel front desk clerk.
So true. And before Mr. Bain appears in that first episode there is an actress on the train seated with Victoria who would eventually play Phyllis Lindstrom's mother in law on the sitcom "Phyllis" which spun off off "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".
Watched as a 7-10 yr old and now hopelessly hooked all over again! Only now I don't have to wait til tomorrow at 4pm. Lol Thanks to Tubi I binge watch all day.
I freaking cried like a baby when Carolyn read her mother's will! I loved this so much that I was so damned mad when it ended. But saddened to learn right after listening to this, that Christopher Pennock died on the 25th. He was on the Halloween reunion show last year and seemed well then. It definitely came as a shock and we've certainly lost so many of our Collins Port family lately. 😢 Big Finish Products has a ton of Dark Shadows audio books, that it's time to start listening to. I've resisted because of no Barnabas, well technically no Jonathan Frid but I'm ready to hear how it ends after finally hearing this wonderful new Dark Shadows story.
I believe that the Big Finish stories take place between the end of the tv series and Return to Collingwood. Apart from those BF stories that are set within the timeline of the tv series. But I could be wrong.
I started to fall asleep listening to this and started to dream I was in Collinwood... there, now we have the opening for the next Dark Shadows reboot.
We don't need the current idiots in Hollywood & actors trying to re-do Dark Shadows since no one could compare to the original actors & version. We saw how Johnny Depp's attempt to try being Barnabus failed miserably ....
@@dragons8822 The problem is they made the movie into a farce-a crazy comedy. Dark Shadows was never funny. It was always creepy. Outrageously scary at times but always hauntingly terrifying! Any reboot should be done in that vein.
Thank you very much. I enjoyed this show tremendously when I was growing up. Nice to see that someone has carried on the tradition. I haven’t checked out the whole show yet, but I am thrilled to have it available to me
I freakin love this audio drama. I feel like it's the perfect type of nostalgic sequel, it manages to remind you of why you loved the show and the characters, and you can believe this is where they are all those years later. 🖤 If only this could've been in TV format.
Tubi has the entire series for free. Just download the Tubi app and there are 3 commercials in each episode, est. 90 seconds total. Also the episodes play in order and automatically.
I remember watching this as a kid running home from school everyday. Wish it had been an hour long drama. I enjoyed listening to this. Brings back memories. my memory of the scenes used in the series i can picture as I close my eyes. Thanks for these shows. Please make more . be awesome if they could remake like the original. I wonder what happened to all sets and furnature. I wish I could have something like a piece of furnature or even incorporate the original set incorporate into my home. Be like being there.
A company called Big Finish has produced a number of Dark Shadows audio plays featuring members of the original cast. They are available for sale as physical CD 's or digital download.
Greeat radio drama! watched the origional as an adult, and will read the books next. Its worth hany effort to follow and experience our own version of Collinwood. Enjoy--Everyone!!!Thanks
Thank you so much for posting this! I love Dark Shadows so much❤️ Hearing the original cast with a new story….. I wish there was more. Like always, the actors did an amazing job; I could see every scene clearly in my mind as I listened to this. ❤❤❤❤❤
Us kids at Tiny Tots daycare in the 60s in Sedalia Mo were made to take naptime everyday with the Dark Shadows afternoon TV drama playing - right across the Street from Senator Jim Mathewson ...
I haven't listened to any of the Dark shadows audios or videos for years and it was Luke just yesterday. For us who loved the show, the original show, it will live on!!
Great audio drama, but I have to say as someone who grew up watching the series, there is something intrinsically wrong with hearing those characters talking about plasma tv's, hot tubs and ebay. To me they always existed in there own world which never moved on.
Couldn't agree more. It seems everything needs to be modernized, but sometimes that pulls us right out of a fantasy world, bringing the charm and nostalgia to a sudden, screeching halt. Too bad.
When I was a kid, I'd jump on my bicycle and furiously pedal home as fast as I could to watch Dark Shadows. If I could beat my siblings home, I got to sit in the most comfortable seat in our living room, and we got two episodes to view each day on Chicago area TV. Some episodes were very 😨 , but I couldn't stop watching! Later, I watched " House of Dark Shadows," and that was really creepy,cool, and scary 😨 😳! I never heard of this radio 📻 😳 drama version, and I'm going to savor it and save it ! Please try and find the next parts to post on RUclips for all us crazy 🤪 DS fans !
I do soooo agree 😊👍👍…I must have Frid….without Frid…its …just Fridless…..😩Friiid….😩Friiiiiiiiiid………😫Give meeee ……Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiid! 😔 Sorry, had to let it out 😉
There was no Part Two. Big Finish procured the license to produce Dark Shadows audios shortly after this was released and chose not to continue the storyline.
A company called Big Finish has the license now. They've released an entire range of Dark Shadows audios. Some are narrated audiobooks, others are full cast audio plays.
The voice actors are really very good. 👍 Starts off well. Shame it is not a self-contained drama - that should have been made explicit. There is no ending, just loose ends. What a ballache after 1.75 hours. 😠
This is my first time seeing the word ballache. I had to check, and it seems to actually stem from an ache in the balls. Not a bad description of something that leaves one frustrated or expecting more. :D
Unfortunately no. Not long after this initial audio was recorded a UK based production company called Big Finish obtained the audio rights to Dark Shadows and chose not to continue the storyline.
They planned on doing more, but the UK based company Big Finish obtained the audio license to Dark Shadows and decided not to continue the storyline, basing their stories in a time between the end of the original series and Return to Collinwood.
This was originally intended as the beginning of a new audio series. Shortly after Return to Collinswood was released the UK based company Big Finish obtained the rights to produce Dark Shadows audio stories and chose not to continue the storyline.
Just spent an entire night giving this a second listen. I wish J. Depp could cameo a second DS Movie based on this. Would love seeing those who played Vickie, Caroline, and David just as much. Perhaps Quentin could be played by Alice Cooper, Willie by Steven King, and Joe Hill as David perhaps?
Way too much happy talk in this. It's just not in keeping with the mood of the original series. Everybody sounds like they're doing a commercial of some kind, not Dark Shadows.
I thought the same thing. It was weird having them all talk like they were 'normal' and leading normal lives after all they've seen and heard and been through over the years. And I did expect them to say the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup any second. 😜

So glad to hear these actors again. I miss Collinwood and all the people.
So do I! Nice to have the Shadows collection. They are always with us!
Every time I listen to this, I enjoy it more. I love hearing the voices of the original actors!

My wife and I watch three episodes a day, Since the beginning of the pandemic. :)
I did the same thing. Now seen every episode and movie, and remake. Big fan. It's not perfect, but, that's part of it's charm.
I,m an old fan .from the
I was 11 at that time.

The original music adds an extra sentimental touch. The violins are my favorite, and the added harpsichord.
The music was like one of the cast. That is part of the reason I don't like the Big Finish audio productions. They went to other music, a big mistake in my opinion!
The theramin has haunted me since the 1960s.

I can close my eyes while listening to this and actually see the actors playing their roles in my head.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Love it!!
Same here!

Wish Johnathan and Grayson were still here...
so great they were able to use the incidental music from the original run ... really makes this audio recording a gem
I haven't heard Quentin's Theme in a long time.❣️
This was great to listen to. Loved it.

Saw this performed live at the 03 DS convention.
How did they create the sound effects so convincingly
Thx! Shadows are the best! Willie aka John Karlan always shines! Also, the ending revelation was amusing!

Awesome, love this audio show
thank you for this.
Digging this to the max
great dark shadows audio drama.
How I loved this show and I was a kid
I once Had this on CD the Dark Shadows theme was Echoed in the CD I remember the Show
I wish they would have continued this story line

There are. A UK based company called Big Finish did an entire range of Dark Shadows audios. Some Full Cast, some narrated audiobooks.
@@jwg5774 I’m off to go find them now🤩🤩🤩
The actors,
or let's say,
The players.
The actors,
were fantastic.
The production was even better.
It make you wish,
there were continuing episodes ?
I have and still a big fan of Dark shadows. However, this is so cool hearing dark shadows in full on stereo. Where can I find more of this.
Us kids at Tiny Tots daycare in the 60s in Sedalia Mo were made to take naptime everyday with the Dark Shadows afternoon TV drama playing - right across the Street from Senator Jim Mathewson ...

I have to ask, is there more to come?
Great audio drama, but I have to say as someone who grew up watching the series, there is something intrinsically wrong with hearing those characters talking about plasma tv's, hot tubs and ebay. To me they always existed in there own world which never moved on.
U are so right...I totally agree
Too true. About the highest tech device they had on the original series was a tape recorder!
Agreed. DS always sort of existed in a time of its own and independent of world events.
Couldn't agree more. It seems everything needs to be modernized, but sometimes that pulls us right out of a fantasy world, bringing the charm and nostalgia to a sudden, screeching halt. Too bad.
46:00 I was eating mint chocolate chip ice cream last summer while binging the early episodes. Freaky!
