Welcome
"But there is another stranger, one who is to awaken and unleash a force that will affect the lives of everyone."
This is my Dark Shadows site mainly based around the character of Willie Loomis.
Here you will find over a thousand screen captures, along with quotes, icons, animations & some other little surprises hiding around the corners.
Updates:
"Nothing suppose to be touched in this room, everything's just-Now, these have been touched!"
Screen captures of John Karlen from a 1964 episode of Brenner, which I only found out existed, after a kind soul found my email address & informed me about it! :)
Fanzine page updated with more Inside The Old House & World of Dark Shadows covers. Scans of THE Willie Loomis collectable card added to the Willie page. A few sound bites from the recent audio dramas added to sounds. Video page updated, actually I just added a link to one I made awhile back but forgot to mention.. Also there is a Daughters of Darkness Goodies page, which is mainly just some extra pictures from the movie, but there are some rare ones there & 4 wallpaper sized pictures from my scans!
6/22/10 Updated Willie Page with info about the new/upcoming audio dramas & action figures.
Sadly, the youtube channel where I stored my video files was suspended, so I had to remove abunch of links from my video page. Some I may reupload, but for the time being, you can check out new ones featured at my new channel.
5/17/10 More Dark Shadows Meets South Park!
5/12/10 Dark Shadows Meets South Park.
5/10/10 More animations, some more screen captures in the random pictures section & 4 new animated icons.
5/3/10 More animations! Plus, I'd just like to give a shout-out to a new DS social network site: Dark Shadows @ spruz.com. It's just starting out, but I've been working on it with the owner, & have added some content & pictures that I haven't included here, so you may want to check it out!
3/17/10 Hard for ME to believe, but one year has passed since this site has opened!
Frankly I can't believe how large it's grown! Creating websites have always been a hobby to me, but for one that began has an excuse to take a bunch of screen captures of Willie, this one has really gone beyond my expectations. And I'm thankful for the recognition it has received. Just seeing my site showing up among google searches & spying my screencaps other places gives me an odd sense of joy.
And, to my delight, there seems to be much to look forward to in the next year: 4 new Big Finish audio dramas coming out, a new Barnabas action figure & according to the most recent reports, the new Tim Burton directed Dark Shadows movie will finally start filming later this year. Yep, lots to be excited about!
Now, in light of this site's first anniversary, here are some updates:
LOTS more Blingee Shadows, more Random screen captures. Screen captures of John Karlen from Night of Terror, an episode of Kojak & The Waltons. The links & video page are updated (removing or correcting links that didn't work), plus I have 2 videos uploaded onto youtube that feature clips from most of these John Karlen movies & tv episodes I've taken caps from.
