Post by MarcovaldoYes, there were a lot of different DS collectibles. Many years ago,
someone gave me the old Dark Shadows board game, which was a very cool
thing!
Did you play the game? Was it any good?
Oberon: During its heyday, Dark Shadows had an incredible amount of
merchandise.
In addition to the Dark Shadows board game there was a MIlton Bradley
(I believe) 'Barnabas Collins' board game.
I never got that one, but like others I LOVED THE DS game. Sadly, I
believe it stayed at my parents house(s) and somewhere down the way,
it was discarded. Could have molded too; my parents were bad for
that...
There were two DS games
Thee was a Gold Key comic series that lasted years longer than the
show.
There were over 30 of those DS novels
There was a comic strip towards the end of the show, or maybe it came
after the show? The artwork was pretty good.Liz and Carolyn were the
only Collins members present in the strip as I recall.
A number of the actors appeared on the typical day/evening variety
shows of that era: the one I remember is a show with Dennis Wholey
(sic) that was sorta a game/quiz show.
Here is how I remember it: David Hennessy was one of the contestants
(three altogether). At some point the question involves DS, and then
all of a sudden there is 'set' that looks like DS, with fog swirling
and such, and then Barnabas walks through the fog, he is splendidly
made up and he walks up the host and in his best evil voice he says"
What is your Blood type?"
great memories
