Sunday August 31 2003 saw a number of past Dark Shadows cast members reunite for a staged reading of Return to Collinwood, a new radio play sequel to the original Dark Shadows. The new hour-long audio drama is written by Jamison Selby (son of David Selby), and joins a number of familiar faces in the present day for the reading of Elizabeth's will. The debut stage performance was held at the Dark Shadows Festival to an enthusiastic audience.
Monday September 1 2003 saw the script committed to tape for commercial release. Return to Collinwood is due out on CD from MPI Home Video in 2004.

Came across this interview on Coast AM with Kathryn Leigh Scott. Thanks to inner_sanctum for the d/l.
I remember coming home from school and turning on the old black and white set and sitting in front of it being scared by Barnabus and by the Dark Shadows magic. I can not imagine what it will be like to close my eyes and be in Collinwood with the DS characters now these many years hence. I look forward to listening to it tonight as another storm approaches.
Thanks,
Bob
I was pretty young when I would watch the show peeking around from the back of the tv and then ducking back when things got scarey. Wanted to watch but afraid to see the scarey parts.... :) The soap opera that was on after Dark Shadow was called The Edge of Night. The opening credits showed a city as the sun was setting and shadows were creeping up the buildings....after Dark Shadows that opening bit was kinda scarey too.
Another horror soap of the time was Strange Paradise. It was on around noon,so you had to have a really good reason to be home at that time of the day to watch it.

I was ill and got to see most of one year. I was upset when my Rheumatic Fever got better enough to go back to school. I had to hurry home then to see it. ----------------------------- Rick
Love Dark Shadows so I will give Strange Paradise a viewing. I notice that Youtube has over 200 episodes. Thank you for the tip on a unknown series (to me..at least)
You come up with such surprises!!! Thanks
