Hi again,

I think some of you misunderstood me when I posted before. When I said that
I needed help with my filk songs, I didn't mean that I wanted the lyrics to
the real songs..I meant that I needed help with the FILK LYRICS.

I hope I've cleared this up....

Hi,

I hope someone can help me.

I'm planning on doing the costume gala at the fest next year and I wanna do
a filk song. I know of 2 songs that I wanna parody: Hotel California by The
Eagles and Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer. Since I know some of you have
done this, I was wondering if anyone can give me a little help?

I've got the first verse of Hotel California (mine is called "Collinwood"),
i haven't got anything of Addicted to Love (mine: Addicted to Blood).
Whoever is willing to help, I'll send you what I have of "Collinwood" and
I'll also give you credit, of course.

Oh, and for the groups, please email me privately at ds.quentinfan@...

Hoping you can help,
Toni

I am having a diffrence of opinion with a member on YouTube. He as posted the
last 4 minutes of the final episode as it was. Yet the closing credits are not
correct as far as I am concerned. His show the main stairway at Collinwood with
the cast and only a few of the crew members listed. I vividly recall the
closings as showing a brick wall somewhere with the full cast and crew listed.
At the very end of the credits it said "THE END?"

Number 184. June 16, 2008.

********************************************
Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,

ShadowGram (SG), The Official Newsletter & News Source for Dark
Shadows (DS), announces the following breaking news.


*** DARK SHADOWS MOVIE UPDATE
As first announced in SG Update #173 (July 26, 2007) and reported in
subsequent Updates and in SGs #111 and #112 print issues, Warner
Brothers has secured the rights to produce a feature film based on DS
which is to star Johnny Depp as vampire Barnabas Collins. Writer John
August has been hired to write the screenplay and is currently at
work on the script
.
John's screenwriting credits include both CHARLIE'S ANGELS feature
films (2000 & 2003). He previously worked with Johnny Depp and Tim
Burton: He composed lyrics for several songs in CHARLIE & THE
CHOCOLATE FACTORY (2005) and CORPSE BRIDE (2005), and wrote the
screenplay for BIG FISH (2003). His writing/producing/directing
credits also include TV and movies.

Longtime Depp friend and collaborator Tim Burton, who directed Depp's
recent film SWEENEY TODD, has expressed interest in helming the
feature and is expected to officially join the project. Several
recent online news items have mentioned Burton's involvement.
However, the studio has not yet issued a formal confirmation, though
will likely do so when the motion picture is closer to production.

Depp is currently finishing his next movie, PUBLIC ENEMIES. After
juggling his many other projects, he hopes to begin the DS movie as
soon as the script is completed and approved and he has time in his
busy schedule. More updates will be announced on this SG Updates
List, in upcoming SG print issue newsletters, and at the DS
Resurrected convention next month (see below).

*** DAVID SELBY APPEARS IN STAGED READING OF "SUMMER & SMOKE"

The SG #112 print issue and this Updates List previously announced
that David (Quentin) stars in the classic Tennessee Williams'

The performances are held at the Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N.
Sepulveda Blvd., Brentwood, CA. 310-827-0889.

David has participated in many LATW programs, each done in the radio-
play format. The cast is recorded live as they read their lines in
character. Live sound effects, music, and audience reaction are
recorded at the same time.

These programs cover a range of classic, contemporary, and new works
by a variety of playwrights, in drama, comedy, satire, and social
commentary. Many familiar and multi-faceted actors appear in the
productions and often direct these shows as well. The recordings air
later on NPR radio stations and also are available on CD/cassette
directly from LA Theatre Works.  Website: www.latw.org


*** MPI DARK SHADOWS CONTEST WINNERS

Earlier this year, SG and MPI announced a special contest. The Grand
Prize winner would get free admission for 2 to the Burbank DS event
as well as lunch there with Lara Parker. Five other fans would win
special autographed DS merchandise. Fans could enter via postal- or e-
  mail and winners would be drawn completely at random. Here are the
lucky fans:

Beth Anne from Lynn, MA will have free admission for two to the DS
Resurrected Festival and have lunch there with Lara Parker
(Angelique).
Eric from Manchester, NH won a DS t-shirt.
Ed from Memphis, TN won an autographed DS DVD.
Sharon from Port Arthur, TX won an autographed DS DVD.
Belinda from Talladega, AL won an autographed DS DVD.
Wendy Ann from Torrance, CA won an autographed DS DVD.


**** UPCOMING NEW DS MERCHANDISE

--- At the DS Resurrected event, a number of fresh DS items are
expected from MPI, including a new t-shirt, collector plates
(Barnabas, Quentin, Angelique and Maggie), the Barnabas ring (back by
popular demand), and other items.

--- Big Finish Productions tells SG, "We've recorded two new CDs,
featuring Kathryn Leigh Scott and Alec Newman, which will be launched
at the Festival. They're single-disc dramatic readings, each telling
an original story from Maggie's point of view." Set in 1967 after
Maggie escapes from Barnabas, Julia uses hypnosis to probe what
happened to her when she disappeared. Maggie tries to face her
abduction while her mind flashes back to her childhood - and the
buried memories of mysterious voices and figures who knew her
then...and know her still....

Alec Newman portrayed "Barnabas" in the 2004 pilot shot for the WB.
The network passed on picking it up as a TV series. The pilot has
screened at the Festival but has never been aired and is not
available for sale. (See recent SG print issues for more details and
exclusive pictures.)

--- A new book, "The Physics of Dark Shadows: Time Travel, ESP, and
the Laboratory" by Frank Borzellieri, explores the "scientific
reality" studies, theories, and experiments behind some of the
supernatural elements seen on DS, such as extrasensory perception,
precognition, possession, hauntings, clairvoyance, time travel, and
other possibilities. The book is $9.95 + $3 shipping (total $12.95),
payable via check/money order, credit card, and Paypal. Cultural
Studies Press, Box 780142, Flushing, NY 11378.

This book was authored by a friend of mine from the Fests!  As a fan
of the series and a person who has always had a curiosity about time
travel and unexplained phenomena, I found it to be very
informative.  Although I've tried to read actual physics books in
the past, I've often struggled to understand anything beyond the
introductory chapters; however, the information about relativity
theory, wormholes, etc. in this book is presented in a clear,
straightforward, and enlightening manner.  Moreover, the
descriptions of the experiments substantiating such theories were
very  eye-opening.

The Physics of Dark Shadows explores the actual scientific theories
that can account for so many of the mysterious, seemingly paranormal
occurrences on our favorite show.  Among other things, Frank uses
examples from DS to show how Quentin's staircase *could* actually
transport people through time, why the existence of parallel bands
of time can explain so many apparent story paradoxes, and what
laboratory evidence suggests that ESP and ghosts actually exist.

However, I have another reason for being excited about this book: at
Frank's invitation, I have written the Preface for it! :) I'm so
glad to be able to contribute to a new DS book, especially a book
like this that is sure to inform and awaken the reader's
intellectual curiosity.

Here is the official press release:
The Physics of Dark Shadows: Time Travel, ESP, and the Laboratory

The release of a new and exciting Dark Shadows book has been
announced. The Physics of Dark Shadows: Time Travel, ESP, and the

Laboratory is authored by Frank Borzellieri, a professor of
journalism at St. John's University in New York City and a devoted
Dark Shadows fan who has written many news articles over the years
about Dark Shadows.

The Foreword to The Physics of Dark Shadows has been written by
Kathryn Leigh Scott and the Preface by Amanda Trujillo. Frank
Borzellieri will be speaking at the Dark Shadows Festival on Sunday
July 20th on the topic of the scientific reality of time travel.

In The Physics of Dark Shadows, Frank Borzellieri reveals for the
first time that so many of the bizarre, supposedly supernatural
occurrences on Dark Shadows actually have their bases in scientific
reality.

The author points out in fascinating detail how time travel in no
way defies the laws of physics and is irrefutably proven through
Einstein's theories. In fact, not only can time travel actually
happen, it already has happened!

All of these concepts, including traveling to the past and future,
as well as parallel time, have a scientific foundation and are
studied vigorously in the world's leading institutions and
scientific journals.

While the time traveling methods of Professor Stokes, Barnabas
Collins, and Julia Hoffman may differ from Einstein's wormholes and
light speed, the basic notions are very real.

Moreover, the extrasensory perception attributed and utilized by
Angelique and other Dark Shadows characters also has a long and
distinguished history of respectable scientific study.

Mixing the theories of Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and the world's
leading physicists with countless examples from the storylines of
Dark Shadows, Frank Borzellieri writes in a manner both scholarly
yet enjoyable for the average Dark Shadows fan.

This exciting book will reveal the scientific reality of:

* Time travel to the past and future
* Wormholes and Quentin's staircase
* Precognition
* Clairvoyance
* Telepathy
* Seances
* Possession
* Hauntings

The Physics of Dark Shadows can be ordered at this time directly
from the publisher at
http://www.culturalstudiespress.com/physics_of_dark_shadows. The
book is $9.95 plus $3 shipping. Credit cards and paypal accepted. To

THIS CHRISTMAS PUT THE "BAH" WITH YOUR "HUMBUG"

WITH  FILM AND SOAP STAR, LARA PARKER AS MRS. SCROOGE

A STAGED BENEFIT SHOW IN  NYC, FOR THREE NIGHTS ONLY!

ALL PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT HELP IS ON THE WAY  TODAY.

For over 160 years Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol has been  reinvented
time and time again. Mrs. Scrooge (A New Christmas Carol) is yet  another
adaptation of everyone’s favorite Christmas classic.  Although this  version
has a
bit of twist, forget Alastair Sim, George C. Scott and Patrick  Stuart, because
this year you can get “Scrooged” from Soap and TV Star, Lara  Parker (eat
your heart out Susan Lucci).  Ms. Parker gave you nightmares as  a child as the
blonde and bewitching “Angelique” on ABC’S gothic soap opera,  Dark
Shadows,
and she is Witchier then ever starring as Ebba N. Scrooge in this  new version
of Dickens yuletide perennial classic.  Joining Ms. Parker is  Fashion critic,
red carpet walker, and TV Personality Leon Hall as her ghostly  sidekick the
dead Fashion aficionado “Jacque Marlee”.

In this present  day version of A Christmas Carol we see miserly, money
hungry and power ridden  Ebba N. Scrooge.  She is estranged from her nephew
Fred, a
complete  nightmare to her employees, and preferring software programs to
people.   Mrs. Scrooge (A New Christmas Carol) is set in modern day Manhattan,
while  retaining much of the original Dickens flavor, to that end Ebba has just
one  Christmas Eve to learn the true meaning of the season and warm her cold
uncaring  heart. This Dramedy includes a cast of ten performers, and is
written, adapted  and directed by Peter Mac.  Mac is no stranger to NYC
audiences
having  penned the runaway Off-Broadway hit Judy and Me.

Lara Parker achieved  overnight fame for her delicious portrayal of the evil
Witch "Angelique" on  ABC's cult classic soap opera Dark Shadows, and would
reprise her role in the  1971 MGM film Night of Dark Shadows. In 1975 Ms. Parker
starred with Peter Fonda  in Race with the Devil, and along side Bill Bixby
as Mrs. Bruce Banner in the  hit series The Incredible Hulk.  Throughout the ‘
80s and ‘90s Ms. Parker  made numerous guest appearances on: Kojak; Alice;
Galactica 1980; P.S. I Love  You; and Highway To Heaven. In 1998 she made her
writing debut with the Dark  Shadows novel, Angelique's Descent (published by
Harper Collins), followed by  Dark Shadows: The Salem Branch in 2006 (published
by
TOR books).  This is a  rare stage appearance for the beloved actress and is
testament to her support  and encouragement of Mac and Help Is On The Way
Today.

Mrs. Scrooge  plays Saturday December 15 at 8 PM and Sunday December 16 at 2
PM and 7 PM. The  doors open one half hour before show time each performance.
Tickets are  $25 and all proceeds go to benefit Help Is On The Way Today.
Mrs. Scrooge  plays in New York City at the Producers Club in the Royal Theatre
on 358 West  44th street, between 8th and 9th Avenue.  Reservations are
strongly  suggested as the venue is an intimate one they can only be made by
pre-paying  via Check or Money Order. Send payment to: Help Is On The Way Today,
c/o
Joseph  Macchia at 52-30 65th Place #2C Maspeth, NY 11378.  For additional
information please call: 718-290-0660.  Please note that all checks or  money
orders should be made payable to: Help Is On The way Today.  Tickets  will also
be available at the door the day/night of each performance but  preferred
seating will go to those who have prepaid for their  reservation.

All ticket proceeds go to benefit, Help Is On The Way Today,  a non for
profit organization assisting children with HIV and AIDS in the  tri-state area.
Their mission is to provide assistance to those who have either  no or limited
financial and/or medical coverage. Specifically, to support cases  in which
current government sponsored programs fall short in covering existing  medical
expenses.  It is an inclusive organization with the goal that no  child will
ever be turned away.  Over the last three years the organization  has raised
over
$57,000, and recently has supplied two children who had fallen  through the
system’s cracks and are living at Incarnation Center in NYC with  motorized
wheelchairs.  This past year the organization continued its  “Project
Backpack”
and was able to donate 200 backpacks for HIV positive  children on their way
back to school.  At present they are currently  gearing up for their annual
holiday toy drive.

So come and join Mrs.  Scrooge and company for a holiday show guaranteed to
brighten your hearts, lift  your December spirits and warm those ever needy
cockles. God bless  us...everyone!

  **** NOW ON DVD: JONATHAN FRID & ABE VIGODA IN THE 1973 TV
MOVIE "THE DEVIL'S DAUGHTER" TOM HAPPER'S 1972 TV MOVIE "CRAWLSPACE"
  Recent SG print issues announced these new single-disc DVDs from
Wild Eye Releasing's "TV Movie Horror Collection." Both "feature new
2007 transfers" and came out Oct.  15.  They now are available from
retail outlets and amazon.com
  Wild Eye liner notes: "The Devil's Daughter," starring Shelley
Winters, "fueled the public's fascination with Satanism flaming out
the all-American dream.  (It) delivers a young woman into a nightmare
world when she learns her mother had promised her to Satan when she
was in infancy.  Now of legal age, Lucifer has sent his earthly
minions to claim his property - and to make sure she is betrothed to
the demon of his choice." DS "offers a candle-burning, wind-rustling,
spooky time in front of the TV with the lights turned way, way down."
  Jonathan (DS' Barnabas) stars as the mute servant "Mr.  Howard." Abe
(DS' Ezra Braithwaite) plays "Alikhine." Jonathan is named and
pictured on the box front cover and Abe is pictured on the box back
cover.
  Wild Eye liner notes: "Crawlspace" is a "real terror treat"
that "features a middle-aged couple accidentally discovering a young
homeless man living in their basement.  Their initial fear turns to
joy when he proves to be helpful around the house and like the son
they never had.  But this newfound happiness soon turns to sheer
horror when the young man's violent past and appetite to kill come
out!"
  Tom (DS' Jeremy Grimes) plays "Richard Atlec" and is named on the
front of the DVD box.
  Wild Eye asks SG to let DS fans know these rare films provide an
opportunity for fans to enjoy the acting talents of Jonathan, Abe,
and Tom beyond their DS performances.

Svenson (Delta Force) and Susan Strasberg (Picnic) from 1973.
  "Fiercely devoted to the theories of extending and creating human
life, scientist Victor Frankenstein and his assistants have secretly
assembled an artificial man with human parts stolen from graves.
Once he is brought to life, the enormous creature exhibits a child-
like innocence.  Unaware of his superhuman strength and frightful
appearance, the Giant becomes hostile and demands that Victor create
him a mate.
  "Bonus features include a new audio commentary track with actors
Robert Foxworth (Victor Frankenstein) and John Karlen (Otto Roget),
1973 promo, and a recap and preview from the original broadcast on
ABC-TV's Wide World Of Mystery."
