ROSS? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- A01: WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL TITLE FOR THE SERIES? A: The story bible was titled: "Shadows on the Wall" They had also considered: Castle Of Darkness; The House On Widow's Hill; and Terror At Collinwood A02: WHAT'S IN A NAME? A: T. Elliot Stokes = Probably meant to be T. Eliot Stokes Sam Hall was a big fan of T.S. Eliot. He and Grayson inhabited the coffee house, Russian Cigar smoking, literary clique of the West End, where Eliot was no doubt well Quoted. Dr. Julia Hoffman = The script called for noted serologist Dr. Julius Hoffman, to be the fearless vampire hunter. That's why before he/she appears, everyone is using male pronouns. Then along came Grayson Hall, wife of DS (1966) writer Sam Hall and mother of writer Matt Hall who would later be technical advisor to the resurrected DS (1991). Josette du Pres = was originally called Josette La Freniere - but this was later changed by script writers to Josette du Pres Victoria Winters = Sheila was considered as a name before they chose "Victoria" Winters. Mr. Juggins (David's mannequin friend) = was this an inside joke reference to Max Jughans, the boom operator? Amy Jennings, younger sister of Tom and Chris Jennings was consistently refered to as Molly before we actually met her - and then she was Amy. Bartenders have always had to put up with less than sober patrons calling them whatever was on the tip of the tongue at the moment. Imagine how much worse it is in Collinsport - between actors gaffs and writers fickle mood. Joe Haskell calls the bartender at the Blue Whale "Punchy", Burke calls him "Andy", Sam calls him "Bill" and finally Sam calls him "Bob" (Bob Rooney as we all know was indeed the Whales Bartender.) There is also a good deal of Biblical reference in Dark Shadows Names - particularly in the 1795 flashback. This is quite appropriate since biblical (Old Testament in particular) names were a mainstay in colonial New England. Lets see what we have: Lets take the immediate family first: Barnabas - the son of consolation - a model of piety in a New Testament vignette - there is also the Epistle of Barnabas (a non canonical text) which originated in Egypt ca. 130. It is characterized by an extreme allegorical interpretation of the Old Testament, which enabled some groups of early Christians to find reference to Christ in every Old Testament incident and story. Joshua - fought the battle of Jericho, general who took over leadership of the Israelites after Moses died. Naomi - Ruth's mother-in-law Sarah - wife of Abraham Jeremiah - a prophet Abigail - one of the wives of King David Other family members and friends: Isaac - he laughed - son of Abraham, patriarch of Israel Andrew - brother of Peter - apostle Judah - one of the 13 sons of Jacob (Israel), he was a brother of Joseph, the kid with the multi-colored coat Peter - Chief of the apostles - the rock Purity - a virtue (another popular type of name in the early colonies, along with Faith, Hope and Charity) Daniel - remember the lions den Nathan - prophet during the reign of King David Noah - managed the flood rescue project Ben(jamin) - Jacob's youngest son Ruby - If not a virtue or a flower try a gemstone Bye the way - Carolyn Stoddard could could also take some comfort in the fact that old Buzz had a traditional side too. In Genesis we read of Uz and Buz, brothers - the sons of Abraham's brother Nahor. A03: HOW DO THEY EXPLAIN ALL OF THE LOOK-ALIKES? A: The theory of Astral and Ancestral Twins. (there's Cathy who's lived most everywhere........) A04: WHAT DS STARS OR CAMEO PERFORMERS WENT TO THE OSCARS? A: ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATIONS: - 1966 BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS NOMINEE: Grayson Hall in NIGHT OF THE IGUANA - 1972 BEST ACTRESS NOMINEE: Marsha Mason in CINDERELLA - 1977 BEST ACTRESS NOMINEE: Marsha Mason in THE GOODBYE GIRL - 1979 BEST ACTRESS NOMINEE: Marsha Mason in CHAPTER TWO - 1981 BEST ACTRESS NOMINEE: Marsha Mason in ONLY WHEN I LAUGH (in case you don't recall - Marsha Mason - wife of playwright Neil Simon - was in the Leviathan storyline as Audrey, the Leviathan vampire girl.) A05: WHAT LITERARY CLASSICS WERE ADAPTED FOR DARK SHADOWS? A: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde = R.L. Stevenson (Yaeger/Longworth) Frankenstein = Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (Dr. Lang/Adam/Eve) Orpheus in the Underworld = (Quentin/Amanda Harris) Rebecca = Daphne Du Maurier (Quentin/Maggie/Hoffman in 1970PT) The Cask of Amontillado = E.A. Poe (Trask et al, walled up) The Cthulhu Mythos = H.P. Lovecraft (the Leviathan episodes) The Lottery = Shirley Jackson The Monkey's Paw = Guy de Maupassant (Petofi's Hand) The Monkey's Paw = W.W. Jacob (Petofi's Hand) The Picture of Dorian Grey = Oscar Wilde (Quentin's Portrait) The Pit and the Pendulum = E.A. Poe (Quentin vs Petofi/Aristede) The Premature Burial = E.A. Poe (Elizabeth Collins Stoddard) The Tell-Tale Heart = E.A. Poe (Barnabas in 1970PT among others) Turn of the Screw = Henry James (Quentin/Beth or Stiles/Daphne) Wuthering Heights = Emily Bronte (Morgan/Catherine/Bramwell) A06: WHAT WAS DS COMPETITION WHEN IT ORIGINALLY AIRED? A: When Dark Shadows aired at 3:30 p.m. EST, replacing "Never Too Young" in the ABC-TV daytime lineup, NBC had "You Don't Say" and CBS was airing "Edge Of Night". A07: WHICH ACTORS REFUSED TO WORK DURING THE 1967 NABET STRIKE? A: Robert Gerringer (Dr. Dave Woodard) and Daniel Keyes (Caretaker). Their roles were recast. A08: HOW ACCURATE IS COLLINSPORT HISTORY? A: The history, timeline and intercharacter relationships in Dark Shadows are thoroughly consistent at any given moment. If, however, you are one of those nit pickers who insists on consistency between any given moments - then give up! All Pre-Barnabas arrival and Post-Barnabas arrival dates and historical incidents are at odds. Even within sections of storyline - dates, names and events can change radically. (Laura (The Phoenix) is given more birth and death days then you could imagine). In the early episodes it is stated over and over again that Elizabeth's Great-Grandfather Jeremiah built Collinwood. But Elizabeth is descended from Daniel Collins - the son of Jeremiah's brother, Theodore. And as we learn in the 1795 flashback - Collinwood is built by Joshua Collins when he is planning to give the Old House to his son Barnabas, as a wedding gift. Vicki opens an episode by saying, " Collinwood sits as it has for 130 years." Thus implying that it was built in 1836 - or at least stopped walking around at that point. In the same episode Roger says the house was built in 1816, and we all know from the 1795 flashback that the house existed in 1796! Of course in Parallel Time, Brutus Collins was already ensconced in Collinwood in 1680! So try not to get too manic and be happy for the "facts" we have. B01: WHAT WAS THE LOCATION USED IN THE ABC SERIES FOR EXTERIORS? A: Collinwood was the Carey Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island - also called Seaview Terrace. The rearview of the Estate was most often used. The Old House was on the Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, NY. (it burned down in 1969) Collinsport was modeled after Essex, Connecticut - where exteriors were shot for the Pre-Barnabas stories. The Collinsport Inn is The Griswold Inn in Essex, CT. The Blue Whale was The Black Pearl in Newport, R.I.. Other outdoor location film shots inserted include: The train speeding through the countryside at night The Collinsport Railway Station Platform The Outside of Sam Evans' Cottage The exterior of the Caretaker's cottage The backyard of Collinwood - stone terraces, walls and gardens The docks down by the boatyard B02: JUST WHERE IS COLLINSPORT, MAINE? A: Along the coast of Maine near Frenchman's Bay in Hancock County, 50 miles from Bangor. The town is primarily an artist's colony and summer resort, but it is also the home base of the Collins Cannery and fishing fleet. Collinwood is a 30 minute walk from the town. Collinwood was built in 1795/6 on the highest hill in the area, Widow's Hill, so named because women from the town would go there to look out to sea, hoping for their loved ones return. On stormy evenings - what other kind are their in Collinsport? - you can still hear the mournful wail of the bereft women. In the Pre-Barnabas tales - the house had been built by Jeremiah Collins, who kicked the widows off the hill and forbade their return. Nice Guy! The house is situated 100 ft above the base of the cliff. The road off of the estate is about 200 ft long (Roger Collins lost control of his car 100 feet from the bottom of the hill - which was considered to be about halfway down.) Burke Devlin estimated it would have cost $250,000.00 to build Collinwood in 1966, land not included. The Old House is also on the estate. A short cut from the main door of the New House (Collinwood) "past the greenhouse, through that clump of trees" to a fence, then a quarter mile further on." Simm's Cove is 2 miles north of the cannery Lookout Point is half way (15 min walk) between Bill Malloy's house and the cannery B03: WHO LIVES WHERE IN COLLINSPORT (1966-70)? A: On the Estate: Collinwood (the Main House): Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, Carolyn Stoddard, Roger Collins, David Collins, Mrs. Johnson, Victoria Winters and at various times Maggie Evans, Adam, Harry Johnson, Paul Stoddard, Jason McGuire, Willie Loomis, Amy Jennings, Hallie Stokes, Quentin Collins, Cassandra Blair Collins, Dr. Julia Hoffman and more ghosts and spirits than you'd care to hear about! the Old House: eventually Barnabas and Willie Loomis live there. the Caretakers Cottage: Matthew Morgan (the cottage is about 100 yards from Collinwood, through the trees and can't be seen from the Main House). If you stop by when he is in a good mood, and that is rare, you may get some food, served on Blue Willow china. Laura Collins. In Town: the Blue Whale: nobody lives here - but they all hang out here! Collinsport Inn: Mr. Wells is the manager in residence, Maggie Evans works here and Burke Devlin rents three rooms on the top floor when he blows into town. Laura Collins, Chris Jennings and Paul Stoddard were also guests here. Sabrina and Ned Stuart. the Stokes House: Prof. Timothy Elliot Stokes, Adam. the Lang House: Dr. Eric Lang and Adam, Eve, Jeff Clark. the Cottage that Nicholas rents: Nicholas Blair, Angelique, Adam and Eve (it's also known as "The House by The Sea") the Constable's Office and Jail: the Eagle Hill Cemetary: Caretaker the Antique Shop: Megan and Philip Todd and an assortment of Leviathan Brats. Nearby: the Rumson Estate: Sky and Angelique Rumson and houseguest Carolyn Stoddard. B04: HOW MANY ROOMS WERE THERE IN COLLINWOOD (NEW HOUSE)? A: Elizabeth tells Victoria there are 40 rooms when she arrives, but in a voiceover Vicki says there are 80. I'd trust Elizabeth - Vicki was just over enthusiastic. B05: HOW MANY SERVANTS WERE NEEDED TO RUN COLLINWOOD? A: Before Elizabeth Liz fired the entire Collinwood staff and went into seclusion, the staff consisted of 2 chauffeurs, 3 cooks, an upstairs maid, a butler, a housekeeper, a handyman, several gardeners, and dozens of temps when the occassion warrented. B06: HOW MANY SECRET ROOMS ARE IN THE OLD HOUSE? A: According to the plans there are 4 Secret rooms/passages. B07: WHY WAS THERE A SECRET ROOM IN THE MAUSOLEUM? A: It was built during the American Revolution to store weapons in. B08: WHAT IS THE COLLINWOOD PHONE NUMBER? A: In 1897 it was Collinsport 332. (and if you need medical assistance in 1897 call 641 for Dr. Brooks) By 1966 population explosion forced a fourth digit and the number became - Collinsport 4099. In 1969 you could reach the Antiques Store Phone # = Collinsport 6817 P.I. Bronson's number in New York is Lexington 2-0098 B09: WHAT DS CAST MEMBER, HAD A SPOUSE SO JEALOUS THAT THE SPOUSE ACTUALLY SHOT AT THE CAST MEMBERS AGENT, BECAUSE THE SPOUSE THOUGHT THE AGENT WAS INTERESTED IN TOO MUCH MORE THAN THE CAST MEMBERS CAREER? A: The Agent in question was Jennings Lang and while talking to his client in a parking lot he was shot at by a very jealous husband, Producer / Director William Wanger, who went to Jail for two years. Even in Hollywood they frown on shooting agents, though I think it does only count as a misdemeanor. When the shooter came out of prison, his loving wife was still waiting for him. They reconciled and remained together until his death, 15 years later. William was the third husband of stately and oh-so-proper Joan Bennett, our very own Elizabeth Collins Stoddard. Her first marriage was in 1926 when she ran away with "the son of a millionaire" at the age of 16. By 17 Joan was a mother, by 18 she was divorced. Second hubby was writer Gene Markey. She married William Wanger in 1941, although he had contracted her as one of his principals in 1934 after her critical success in Little Women. The shooting was in 1951 and Wanger died in 1968 during DARK SHADOWS tenure. Bye the way, while we are on the subject and in case anyone cares, Joan was the younger sister of Film star Constance Bennett and the daughter of Broadway Matinee Idol and later popular supporting actor - Richard Bennett. Both girls got introduced to Hollywood when pops took a sabbatical from the NY stage to direct "talkies". Third sister Barbara also was in the movies, but only briefly. Gosh - those girls could have produced enough Bennett cousins to compete with the Parallel Time Collins Family. (And while we count husbands - Constance was survived by her fifth spouse!) Ahhhh Hollywood! B10: OK, WHILE WE ARE DEALING WITH GOSSIP -WHAT DID HAPPEN BETWEEN ALEXANDRA MOLTKE AND CLAUS von BULOW? A: Well, in order to simplify this we will use the concise yet detailed answer which Lora Melby posted on the net: Subj: The Other Trial of the Century (Von Bulow) (From: dpmelby@piper.hamline.edu, Lora L. Melby) One of you asked me for details on Alexandra Moltke Isles' involvement with Claus Von Bulow. Since I'm going through the effort of compiling the information (sole source: Reversal of Fortune by Alan Dershowitz), I thought I might as well share it with the rest of you. * Alexandra: The daughter of a Danish Count, Alexandra was born in Sweden but grew up in New York. Like Sunny Von Bulow before her, she attended the Chapin School. Alexandra's society debut was in the 1964-65 season. She belonged to the Colony Club, and, following Dark Shadows, married, had a son (Adam), and divorced. * Alexandra and Claus: They met by chance in April 1978 at the exclusive Knickerbocker Club in New York (it has nothing to do with basketball). However, their parents knew each other, and Count Moltke and others helped young Claus flee Denmark after the Nazis invaded in World War II. In addition, their grandfathers had been ministers together in the Danish government (Alexandra's was foreign minister). Their chance meeting initiated an immediate friendship, which swiftly blossomed into romance. By March 1979, they began discussing marriage. In April, she started pressuring -- asking "Would six months be suitable?" for Claus to make the break with Sunny. In the summer, she went to visit her mother in Ireland. When she returned, things were tense between her and Claus -- she was afraid he would never leave Sunny. In December, she again traveled to Ireland. There she received a phone call from Claus saying that Sunny was in a coma. Sunny quickly recovered. When Alexandra returned to New York, Claus gave her the impression that Sunny had attempted suicide because Claus was in love with someone else (Alexandra). Alexandra was skeptical that it was an active suicide attempt, but felt Sunny could have been acting on a subconscious death wish. For that reason, she stayed away from Claus for a few months. In May, the hospital established that the coma was from natural causes (reactive hypoglycemia?). So their romance renewed. Late in the summer of 1980, Claus announced that he had gotten himself an apartment. At first, Alexandra thought it was a sign that he intended to marry her, but she was quickly disillusioned. Angry over his lack of commitment, Alexandra left for a job in Washington. Claus tracked her down, and they had coffee together at the Watergate Hotel. He proposed, but she said no. Although they were no longer on intimate terms, she still felt warmly towards him. She even invited him to her son's Christmas carol recital and dropped off Christmas presents for him at the apartment he shared with Sunny's apartment (but they had already left for Newport). One of the gifts was wrapped in paper featuring hearts with bandaids on them. The next time she heard from Claus was when he informed her of Sunny's final coma. In January 1981, Claus' stepdaughter, Ala, confronted him with rumors that he was having an affair. Claus admitted his involvement with Alexandra, explaining that Sunny had been disinterested in sex since the birth of Cosima (13 years before). He claimed that Sunny had given him permission to conduct discreet sexual liaisons. Also in January 1981, Alexandra and Claus started to see each other more frequently. To try life as a family together, they took her son (then age 11) to Nassau in February. His daughter Cosima stayed home due to chicken pox, but they took a trip with her two months later, to Florida. Alexandra knew Claus was suspected of attempted murder but thought it "a pack of nonsense." In July 1981, Claus was indicted by a grand jury (allegedly, he had attempted murder by injecting Sunny with insulin in December 1979 and again in December 1980). Alexandra's attorney advised her to stay away from Claus, and she complied (except for a visit on Christmas Eve). * Alexandra and The First Trial (February 1, 1982 to March 16, 1982): The prosecution used Alexandra to establish a motive. According to their theory, Claus didn't love his wife, Sunny, but he loved her money and society life. He loved Alexandra, but a divorce would leave him in reduced financial circumstances. If Sunny were to die an apparently *natural* death, Claus could keep both the money *and* Alexandra. Since it is difficult to differentiate between insulin produced by the person's pancreas and insulin externally administered, an insulin injection was an ideal choice of weapon. Alexandra told the court that she didn't like being referring to as Claus' mistress. The prosecutor then asked her if she still loved Claus. She paused and responded sadly, "I don't know." He then asked if she still thought the attempted murder charge was "a pack of nonsense." Again she replied, "I don't know." This testimony was extremely damaging -- here was a woman who obviously had strong feelings for her former-lover but who nonetheless considered him potentially capable of the crime. Despite the damage, the defense waived cross-examination. Supposedly, the gentlemanly Von Bulow didn't wish to submit her to further public examination. However, in an interview after the trial, Alexandra discounted this and hinted vaguely that "there could have been some bombs dropped." One of her friends explained that although Alexandra hadn't lied, she had held back, not wanting to be the cause of Claus' ruin. In any event, the truly damaging testimony was provided by Sunny's maid, Maria Schrallhammer. After 31 days of testimony and 37 hours of deliberation, the jury found Claus guilty of two counts of assault with intent to murder. * Alexandra and the Second Trial (April 25, 1985 to June 10, 1985): With the aid of attorney/author Alan Dershowitz, Claus successfully appealed the conviction and was granted a retrial. During the appeal and second trial, Claus was involved with a woman called Andrea Reynolds (who, unlike Alexandra, didn't insist on marriage). Again, Alexandra was to be a key witness for the emotional (or "soap opera") part of the prosecution's case. Deep down, however, Alexandra didn't think she was the real motive: "The money was the motive," she revealed to Sunny's financial advisor, "He had me for free." As the prosecution's case neared conclusion, Alexandra still had not appeared. Rumors were flying that she had fled the country to avoid testifying. There are two theories for her late appearance. 1) She wanted to create a dramatic entrance (reportedly she was enhancing her looks at an exclusive English spa called Forest Mere). 2) She and the prosecution wanted to avoid putting her on the stand again by relying on her previous testimony. Indeed, the prosecution made a motion to allow Alexandra's previous testimony into evidence. The defense objected because (a) she had not been cross-examined (due to Claus' "chivalry") and (b) the state hadn't gone to enough effort to locate her. The judge agreed. The prosecution had the long Memorial Day weekend to track Alexandra down. Her appearance was a media circus. She was greeted at the airport by the prosecution and plenty of cameras. Police escorted her to Boston's ritziest hotel. Guards protected her 24 hours a day. However, the jury was sequestered and witnessed none of the spectacle. Alexandra dropped one of those bombs she alluded to after the first trial. She discussed a telephone conversation with Claus after the first coma. She testified: "He said they had been having a long argument, talking about divorce that had gone on late into the night. She had drunk a great deal of eggnog, and then he said, 'I saw her take the Seconal'. And then he said the next day when she was unconscious that he had watched her, knowing that she was in a bad way, all day. And watched her and watched her. And finally when she was on the point of dying he said that he couldn't go through with it, and he called and saved her life." This "bombshell" suggested that the defense was correct in insisting that Sunny -- not Claus -- brought on the first coma, but it made him less sympathetic to the jury. In the words of the defense lawyer, "She proved he was a cad, not a wife killer." The best the defense could do in response was to get Alexandra to admit her bitterness -- after all, she had written a letter to Claus after the first trial, suggesting that they get back together (which they did not do). Alexandra said, "You do some crazy things when you're in love." This caption appeared below her full-page photo on the front page of the New York Post. In the prosecution's closing argument, they discussed motive. "Alexandra Isles is the reason, the motive, the moving force behind each injection, each coma... You will recall the deadline set in April 1979 by both of them: 'Let's be together by Christmas-time.' What a coincidence that the first coma happens at Christmas-time." Claus was acquitted, and Alan Dershowitz believes that Claus really was innocent. He always behaved as an innocent man would -- he was forthcoming and didn't attempt to control or restrict their investigations. * Alexandra and the Letters: It didn't come out in either trial, but around the time of the final coma, Alexandra had delivered a bag to the Von Bulow apartment building. The doorman took it up to the apartment -- where only Sunny was home. The bag was open and unmarked, and contained love letters and presents that Claus had sent to Alexandra. Several hours later, Sunny overdosed on aspirin (a possible suicide attempt). Some believe that Claus and/or Alexandra were trying to instigate the suicide by flaunting the affair. B11: WHAT OTHER ROLE IS DENISE NICKERSON (AMY JENNINGS) FAMOUS FOR? A: She was the little nose-picker Violet Beauregard in "Willy Wonka". She ate some gum, turned into a giant blueberry, and got rolled down to the juicing room by the Oompa-Loompa's. (Now-a-days she is a Nurse!) B12: WHO GETS THE FIRST LINES IN DARK SHADOWS? A: In the first episode - the first lines are Victoria Winters' (Alexandra Moltke) thoughts heard by the audience: "My name is Victoria Winters. My journey is beginning - a journey that I hope will open the doors of life to me, and link my past with my future. A journey that will bring me to a strange and dark place - to the edge of the sea high atop Widow's Hill - a house called Collinwood. A world I've never known, with people I've never met. People who tonight are still only shadows in my mind, and who will soon fill the days and nights of my tomorrows." B13: WHAT WAS VICTORIA WINTERS FIRST MEAL IN COLLINSPORT? A: At the Collinsport Inn, Vicki had a roast beef sandwich, rare - and a piece of apple pie. B14: WHOSE BEDROOM DID VICTORIA WINTERS GET? A: Vicki's was given the room that had been Elizabeth's bedroom until Elizabeth got married. B15: WHERE WAS VICTORIA WINTERS BEFORE COMING TO COLLINWOOD? A: She was at the Hammond Foundling Home in NYC - along with 152 children. When she was found as an infant she had a note which said her name was Victoria. Her last name came from the season in which she was found. $50 came for her care, each month from the time she was 2 until she was twenty (or 16, or 18, depending on which episode you wish to quote!). It was postmarked Bangor, ME. B16: WHY ARE ROGER AND ELIZABETH ALWAYS VERGING ON A FIGHT? A: Well, for starters, you can bet it has something to do with good old sibling rivalry. Roger born on September 14, 1925 is 8 years younger than Elizabeth who was born on February 28, 1917. There was probably quite a bit of tension as they were growing up - and Roger even got stuck with Elizabeth as a baby sitter! Things did not get better when their father died some time prior to 1946, and left everything to Elizabeth. Even a pompous poser like Roger deserves a bit of sympathy. How annoying it must be to have to depend on his older sister for an allowance. B17: WHAT DID MATTHEW MORGAN DO BEFORE BECOMING CARETAKER AT COLLINWOOD? A: Mathew Morgan swept floors at the Collins' Cannery before he became Caretaker at Collinwood 18 years ago at the same time that Liz became a recluse. Maybe he got the job on the reputation of his home baked muffins. B18: WHAT WOULD I FIND ON PAGE 20 OF STRAKE'S REPORT? A: That is where the information on Joe Haskell starts. B19: WHAT WAS JOE HASKELL"S JOB? A: Joe was a fisherman who worked for the Collins' fleet. He also dates the Bosses daughter, and shortly after we all arrive at Collinsport, he is given a desk job as a "checker" in the main office. His goal is to save enough money to buy his own boat (when the story begins, he still needs $2,375 for the down payment) the profits from which will be used to buy a second boat and so on until he is master of a fleet. (Shades of Enoch Snow!) B20: HOW MANY ROOMS DOES BURKE TAKE AT THE INN? A: 3 (on the top floor) - although his room was #24, and when Laura stayed there - she was on the third floor in room #31 Go figure! B21: WHOSE MOTHER WAS ALSO HIS GREAT-GRANDMOTHER? A: David Collins - His mother was Laura the Phoenix - married to Roger Collins, son of Jamison Collins, who was the son of Laura the Phoenix and Edward Collins! B22: WHAT HAD ROGER WANTED TO NAME HIS CHILD - INSTEAD OF DAVID? A. Charles Andrew B23: WHAT WAS ROGER AND LAURA'S ADDRESS IN AUGUSTA, MAINE? A. Roger and his wife, Laura, were married the day after Burke Devlin's manslaughter conviction. They moved to Augusta, Maine, where they resided at 427 Hilldale Avenue. Roger returned to Collinwood - alone - just 30 days before we see Vicki arrive. He says his wife is "away". B24: WHO WAS RANDY? A: Carolyn Stoddard's imaginary friend that used to visit her when she was 9 years old. He had dark hair and brown eyes and always wore a red sweater. He would play on the beach and climb trees and the last time she saw him was on her tenth birthday when he brought her a piece of sea glass that looked like clear green water. (Special sample of the obscure from The DS Q&A Book Vol. I) B25: WHAT WAS ROGER COLLINS' PET NAME FOR CAROLYN STODDARD? A: Kitten. (Shades of Robert Young and "Father Knows Best") Detective Strake calls Carolyn a "Fire eater" While Bill Malloy calls her "Princess" Other pet names/nicknames of note: Elizabeth calls Roger "Fool" but then Roger calls Elizabeth "Fool" Buzz Hackett calls Elizabeth "Mommie" - oh my! Roger affectionately calls David the "Little Monster" and Maggie Evans calls Vicki a jerk , J-E-R-K! Carolyn calls Collinwood - "The House of Usher" and refered to Bill Malloy as "old chin whiskers" B26: HOW MUCH TIME DID BURKE DEVLIN SPEND IN PRISON? A: After his 1956 trial and conviction in Bangor, Maine, on the charges of manslaughter, Burke served 5 years, 1 month, 3 days and 7 hours. (Roger testified against him and then ran off with Laura, in whom Burke was also interested). After leaving prison, Burke took 5 years to make his fortune (in Montevideo, Uruguay) and then returned to Collinsport after a 10 year absence. B27: OK, SO WHO TURNED DOWN THE LOGANSPORT OFFER, HERN, HEARNE, AHEARN OR ADAIR? A: Hern, Ezra (actor #1)(1966) listens to Burke's offer to work at Logansport Cannery im episode #89. In episode #99, Hern, Ezra (played by Dolph Sweet)(1966) turns down Burke's offer to work at Logansport Cannery First of all lets be clear (Aha) there were 2 actors who played this part. One "listened" to Burke's offer and we don't know who played the part. 10 episodes later a second actor, Dolph Sweet, turned down Burke's offer. That's why he's listed twice in the character list. Easy - well, here's the ugly part... The character is listed in the credits as "Hearne" and in The History of DS as "Ahern", but Burke calls him "Adair" and some sources list him as Hern. Watch ep. #89, its a DSFAQers nightmare. Burke calls Ezra Ahern and Adam Bilodeau by the names Ezra Bilodeau & John Adair (Amos Fitch does call him Ezra "Ahern" ). But that's not all!! Burke forgets his lines again, makes some up and dumps them into Amos Fitch's lap!! Amos starts looking around - looking like he forgot his lines thanks to Burke - then Amos Fitch does some improvising himself and "makes his move" and leaves!! Since Amos Fitch calls him "Ahern" and he's listed that way in The History of Dark Shadows, our bet is that "Ezra Ahern" is correct. B28: WHAT ARE CAROLYN"S FAVORITE FLOWERS? A: Little yellow roses. B29: WHAT WAS BILL MALLOY'S FAVORITE SONG? A: "What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?" Fitting enough for a man who started out as a deck boy on the Collins' Fleet. (He earlier said he swept the floors at the cannery). And ended up as autopsy report # 220612. Funny - he didn't look 612ish! The following is from a post on the Prodigy board: Posted on Prodigy's DS board on 5/30/95 Bill Malloy's favorite song, as those of you know who've been following along with Sci-Fi's bouncing ball (watch out for those swamp things!), is "What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor?" It's an example of a shanty (shantey, chanty or chantey) song. These were sung by sailors as they prepared to leave and enter a port and while in the process of sail management and rigging adjustment. "Drunken Sailor" was probably used to get the ship out of port. The chorus "Weigh, hey, and up she rises," sexual innuendo aside, refers to the act of weighing anchor. A two count pull on the chains, 1. weigh and 2. hey, and then a pause to retrench while they sing "up she rises." The verses were cleaned up when the chanteys were brought ashore to the schools and music halls. The original verses were warnings to unfledged seamen, embarking on their first voyage, as to what would happen if they stepped out of line. For example: "Pull out the bunk and wet him all over." They would not be wasting something as precious as fresh water, and nobody would bother to bring a bucket to haul seawater, if you catch my drift. There are three strains of verses: 1.) Macho/prison stuff, such as above, which threatens physical pain as well as mental torment and humiliation; 2.) homosexual verses, in which the poor drunk lad is shaved head to foot, wigged with a mop and put to the service of the crew, after which, to compromise him so no authority would believe his tale ... 3.) he is placed in a compromising position vis a vis the captain's (or owner's or, in one version, a first mate's) daughter. To the song at hand: The verses will replace the line "What shall we do with the drunken sailor?" The weighing anchor chorus separates the verses. What shall we do with the drunken sailor? (x3) Early in the morning. Weigh, hey, and up she rises. (x3) Early in the morning. (Also heard as "Hooray and up she rises.") So what shall we do? How about: - Put him in the longboat until he's sober. - Put him in bed with the Captain's daughter. - Shave his stomach with a rusty razor. - Take the Baby and call it Bo'sun. - Turn him over and drive him windward. - Put him in the scuffs until the horse bites on him. - Heave him by the leg and with a rung console him. I'm not offering to explain any of these. If you look in a dictionary, it'll give you alternative meanings to these words. Then, use your imagination. B30: CAN I GET A SPECIAL EDITION "BURKE DEVLIN" PEN? A: Burke Devlin gave his pen to Carolyn. He had previously given to one to James Blair. There were 4 remaining pens in the limited edition and they were left in South America where Burke bought them. Maybe thats the important business he had to fly back on? B31: WHERE DID BURKE DEVLIN"S PLANE CRASH AND HOW MANY WERE ABOARD? A: The plane Crashed in Belem, Brazil. (Brazil is not a very good Place for Collins' and their friends - see 1840's) There were 16 Bodies Burned beyond recognition. B32: WHAT IS THE FAVORITE GROUP PASTIME AT COLLINWOOD? A: Why, seances of course, with exorcisms a close second. Regardless of time period and in either real time or Parallel, nothing gets the Collins clan as worked up as a good seance. When you want general information, tidbits of history, or helpful hints from the dearly departed - just get light a candle and sit everyone around a table. Use a professional medium or wing it with amateurs. You'll never find out what you wanted to know in the first place - but you will pick up some handy data, or lose family members in the attempt. Some noteable excurisons into the other plane include: (1795) Countess Natalie du Pres and Joshua Collins have a seance to summon Bathia Mapes. (1840) Gerard Stiles has a seance to contact the 1795 Rev. Trask. Lamar Trask wants to speak with his dad so he can avenge his death. Faithful Flora Collins rounds out the seance party. The Reverend Trask appears and tells them they are surrounded by evil and to beware of the cross. "Evil is doing evil. Evil will walk again now." (Trying to warn them about the awakening of Judah Zachery). All of this is in episode #1126. (1966) Dr. Peter Guthrie's Seance at Collinwood Convinced that Josette {du Pres} Collins' ghost could add vital information to his investigation of the supernatural and yield information about the mysterious Laura Collins, Dr. Peter Guthrie decided to hold a seance at Collinwood. The particpants were Dr. Peter Guthrie, Carolyn Stoddard, Roger Collins and Victoria Winters. (Dr. Guthrie also used a tape recorder for later reference). Just as it appeared they were starting to make contact with Josette's ghost, the Drawing Room doors flew open, breaking contact with Josette. An unrecognizable figure was standing in the dark doorway but it turned out to be Laura Collins. She had changed her mind and decided to attend the seance after all. The seance began again and Victoria Winters soon became possessed by Josette's ghost and began speaking French. Just as she starts to say a name, Laura Collins uses the powers of the Phoenix to end the seance. Victoria Winters screams and then faints. Translated later by Dr. Guthrie, Josette's ghost had said: "A person, someone who sleeps without sleeping, dreams without dreaming. There is an innocent child, a boy, one who is in danger. Fires that have occurred through the centuries. There will be another one soon. There's an evil presence in this house." (1966) Dr. Peter Guthrie's Seance at the Old House Dr. Guthrie felt that he needed to contact Josette's ghost again. He chose to have this seance at the Old House so that there would be no interruptions and according to David Collins, Josette's ghost would be nearby. Victoria Winters, Sam Evans and David Collins wait for Dr. Guthrie but Laura Collins has caused his car to burst into flames. Tired of waiting, they decide to have the seance without Dr. Guthrie. During the seance, David Collins becomes possessed by David Radcliff((e))'s ghost. Thru David Collins, he relives his death by fire of a hundred years ago with his mother Laura Murdoch Radcliff((e)). (1967) Roger hosts a seance at the Old House. This takes place at Barnabas' costume part. Attending the seance are Barnabas Collins, Roger Collins, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, Victoria Winters, Burke Devlin and Carolyn Stoddard. Victoria Winters is possessed by the ghost of Josette du Pres Collins. She relives her death at Widow's Hill. This is episode #281. (1967) Victoria is sent back to 1795 during a family seance (1968) David Collins & Amy Jennings hold a seance. A private affair in the West Wing of Collinwood, this seance was an attempt to contact Quentin Collins. They are interrupted by Victoria Winters in episode #640. (1968) A seance is held to contact Jeff Clark. Prof. Stokes holds a seance with Victoria Winters, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, Carolyn Stoddard and Chris Jennings in the Drawing Room at Collinwood to make contact with Jeff Clark. But instead they are contacted by someone called Magda. Magda speaks thru Carolyn Stoddard and warns "You must stop him". (They do not know she is referring to the Ghost of Quentin Collins who is up to no good). This is episode #642. (1969) A seance to solve the puzzle of Janet Findley's demise. Prof. Stokes holds a seance with Mrs. Johnson, Maggie Evans and Barnabas Collins in the Drawing Room at Collinwood to contact Janet Findley. Mrs. Findley speaks thru Mrs. Johnson and says "The children, the panel, the room. I found that room. I went in there and then, then, he killed me." (Another warning referring to the Ghost of Quentin Collins). This one in episode #682 - won't these people ever listen! (1970) Barabas has a seance. The reason, what else, to contact Josette du Pres Collins thru Maggie Evans. This is when Josette tells Barnabas that she waited for him but he never showed up, so she took poison. She then releases him from any vows he has made to her. (This was done so that Barnabas could fall in love with Roxanne) This is episode #948. (1841PT) Quentin, Flora & Melanie try to contact Brutus (1841PT) an attempt to exorcise Morgan/Forsythe Quentin, Julia, Catherine, Carrie Ben, Morgan participate. (1970PT) Angelique {Stokes} Collins is murdered at a seance C01: WHERE IN ENGLAND WAS COUSIN BARNABAS SUPPOSEDLY FROM? A: Cadogan Square, London. The family had supposedly moved there when their original estate in Coventry burned to the ground. C02: OK, SO JUST WHATS THE STORY WITH CADOGAN SQUARE? (thanks to srshutt@athena.mit.edu (Stephen R Shutt)) A: Cadogan Square, mentioned in several scripts of the original series, and in some volumes of Dan "Marilyn" Ross' DS novels in the late Sixties, is a real place in London. In the early Barnabas episodes of 1967, Barnabas gives this as his London address, and further mentions a friend, Nile Bradford (whom Burke Devlin later learns died in the 1830s). In House of Dark Shadows (the 1970 film), Barnabas again gives this as his address in London, then changes the subject when Professor Stokes asks an inconvenient question about friends of his who live in the square. According to a book on London street names I acquired during a recent visit to the Metropolis, the name Cadogan refers to a family of the peerage, who once owned property in this district of Belgravia. The name occurs in several geographical designations (Cadogan Square, Cadogan Place, etc.) and in the celebrated Cadogan Hotel, where Oscar Wilde was arrested for the dubious 'crime' of "posing as a Sodomite" in 1895. John Betjeman, later Poet Laureate of England in the early years of the current reign, wrote a celebrated poem about Wilde's arrest at the Cadogan Hotel. The poem was at one time very well known and much recited in certain circles, and this may have led to a deadline-desperate writer pulling that name out of his hat for Barnabas' townhouse address in London. Here is the poem. He sipped at a weak hock and seltzer As he gazed at the London skies Through the Nottingham lace of the curtains Or was it his bees-winged eyes? To the right and before him Pont Street Did tower in her new built red, As hard as the morning gaslight That shone on his unmade bed. "I want some more hock in my seltzer, And Robbie, please give me your hand-- Is this the end or beginning? How can I understand? "So you've brought me the latest _Yellow Book_, And Buchan has got in it now. Approval of what is approved of Is as false as a well-kept vow. "More hock, Robbie--where is the seltzer? Dear boy, pull again at the bell! They are all little better than cretins, Though this *is* the Cadogan Hotel. "One astrakham coat is at Willis's-- Another one's at the Savoy: Do fetch my Morocco portmanteau, And bring them on later, dear boy." A thump, and a murmur of voices-- ("Oh why must they make such a din?" As the door of the bedroom swung open And TWO PLAIN CLOTHES POLICEMEN came in: "Mr Wilde, we 'ave come for tew take yew Where felons and criminals dwell: We must ask you tew leave with us quoietly For this *is* the Cadogan Hotel." He rose, and he put down _The Yellow Book_. He staggered--and, terrible-eyed, He brushed past the palms on the staircase And was helped to a hansom outside. It helps to know that "Robbie" is Robert Ross, Wilde's great friend, who was his literary executor and had such works as Ballad of Reading Gaol and De Profundis published. The Yellow Book was a literary review with a decadent-sounding title. The contents rarely lived up to the promise of the name or the Aubrey Beardsley illustrations. Willis's and the Savoy were (and, in the case of the latter, still are) a dining room and a hotel where Wilde was much seen in the Nineties. After Wilde fell in love with Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas he increasingly spent the night at such glamorous venues as the Savoy. The Cadogan Hotel was perhaps a less well-heeled pied-a-terre for Wilde's adventurous "feasting with panthers" but it provided the mise-en-scene for the disaster he had (judging by what he told Andre Gide) so frantically courted through the latter years of his career. C03: WHAT DECORATES THE DOOR TO THE OLD HOUSE? A: A Lion's head knocker similar to the one on the doors of the Medici Palace in Rome. It is odd and should be noted that all though the Old House has double doors, there is only one knocker. It would have been more likely to have a pair. I guess this is another example of Collins family penny pinching. C04: CAN I GET A CANE LIKE BARNABAS HAD? A: The Cane is available from a company called Dutch Guard. They have a large selection of canes. Their cane number 117 is listed as "Large Dog/Wolf Head" and its description by the quote which says "Yes, this is the one!" The price of the "Willie beater" is $296.00. The general description of their canes is: Exquisite Alpacca Metal handles are mounted on genuine Maple (black) tapered shafts, with rubber tip standard, 36" length (see order blank if you need your cane cut). Alpacca metal is an alloy of Sterling Silver with Nickel added for strength, a softer feel and to prevent tarnish. Heads are made in Hamburg, Germany by one of Europe's finest silversmiths. (the catalog is free) If you're interested, their number is 1-800-821-5157. C05: WHO MADE BARNABAS' TABLE A: Oliver Bennett of Marion, Massachusetts. C06: WHERE DOES DR. JULIA HOFFMAN HIDE HER CASE NOTEBOOK ON BARNABAS? A: The locked diary was originally being hidden from everyone, particularly from Barnabas - but later it was just hidden to help keep Barnabas' secret from the others. In 1967 it was kept in three locations. In order they are: (1) IN A METAL STRONGBOX (2) THE COLLINWOOD GRANDFATHER CLOCK (3) TONY PETERSON'S SAFE After Barnabas became a regular part of Julia's life: (4) Back in a metal strongbox, kept in the armoire in her bedroom. C07: WHAT RHYME DID BARNABAS TEACH HIS SISTER SARAH WHEN SHE WAS LEARNING TO WRITE? A: When the ghost of Sarah appears to Barnabas for the one and only time, she prevents Barnabas from killing Julia. She asks Barnabas if he remembers the rhyme, makes him repeat it, and then tells him he's been bad. That evil is wicked, Is well understood. The wicked are punished, So you must be good. C08: WHAT WAS THE RHYME THE GHOST OF SARAH COLLINS TOLD MAGGIE EVANS TO HELP HER ESCAPE FROM BARNABAS? A: And Sarah's new rhyme is: One, two, away they flew Three, four, by the door Five, six, count the bricks Seven, eight, the clue is grate Nine, ten, home again C09: WHAT STOPS BARNABAS FROM KILLING DR. JULIA HOFFMAN? A: Barnabas is stopped by the appearance of the Ghost of his sister Sarah who points out that he is being naughty (see Sarah's verses). It is the only time he sees the ghost - and she isn't bouncing her ball or singing "London Bridge is falling down"! C10: WHAT WAS THE STORY OF JOSETTE - BEFORE THE WRITERS CHANGED THEIR MINDS? A: We have already warned you that "History" is a relative concept to the Collins family, so when you ask for a definition you need to specify at what point in history was the item you are requesting relevant - For example before Barnabas appears (and entrenches himself) on the scene Carolyn refers to Jeremiah as her great-grandfather (although she is later descended from Daniel and the NY Collins'); the dates under Josette's portrait in the family history at this point are 1810 - 1834; in one episode we are told that Jeremiah was a 6th generation descendant of the founder of Collinsport, who married Josette LaFrenier of Paris in 1830 and started construction of the new house in the same year. Note that the writers were improvising like heck as the flashback approached. This then is the story of Josette - as Barnabas himself tells it - After his arrival at Collinwood and prior to the 1795 storyline. (But of course we all know it holds no water - when we actually see the events of 1795 ) The setting: There is a storm over Collinsport (how unusual) and Collinwood has lost its electrical power. In this setting Barnabas shows up to tell Vicki & Carolyn a bedtime story. JOSETTE'S STORY As told by Barnabas Collins on May 19, 1967 to Victoria Winters and Carolyn Stoddard during a thunderstorm at Collinwood. "There was a night such as this. A night when a young beautiful woman was pressed to the limits. She could no longer accept what the future held for her. She knew she had to destroy herself before she became something she did not want to be. She had quarreled with her lover. She tried to send him away but he would not be put off.He tried to put his arms around her but she broke away from him and run out into the stormy night. Her white dress contrasted against the darkness. He ran after her as she headed for the one place on earth that seemed to be designed for the termination of life. Rain drenched her, the winds buffeted her blowing her long hair wildly. Her clothing was torn by the low branches. The small white feet were bruised and mudstained with the stoney cruel pathway to the summit of the cliff. The shouts of her lover were lost in the wind as he moved swiftly after her. Near the top she stumbled over a large rock, crying hysterically, she limped and crawled to the edge of the precipace. Her lover reached her, clutched her, spinning her around to face him. Her eyes were wide with terror as the lover held her tightly, his lips pressed against her throat. Soon she grew limp and he released her. Suddenly there was a last surge of energy. She broke free and hurled herself off the cliff. Her scream reacting and echoing as she plunged downward. Her body was impaled on the large craggy rocks below. Her lover descended to the bottom of Widow's Hill. He found her body broken, lifeless, bloodless. As violent as her death was the expression on her face was one of serenity. As if this were the best possible ending to her life." (From Episode #233 written by Malcolm Marmorstein) C11: WHO WAS AT THE SEANCE WHEN VICKI IS SENT TO 1795? A: Present at that seance (a favorite pastime at Collinwood) were: Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, Julia Hoffman, Victoria Winters, Barnabas Collins, Roger Collins and Carolyn Stoddard. D01: WHEN DID MILLICENT AND DANIEL COLLINS PARENTS DIE? A: They died in 1790. But don't feel sorry for the orphans. When all hell breaks loose at Collinwood - only Daniel is left to inherit the whole mess. D02: WHO TAUGHT BEN STOKES TO READ & WRITE? A: In a truly magnanimous mood - Master Barnabas performed that task. Would he have done so - if he knew Ben were going to keep a diary of what REALLY went on at Collinwood? D03: HOW DOES ANGELIQUE KEEP JEREMIAH COLLINS FROM LEAVING COLLINWOOD? A: She makes Joshua seemingly disappear. Actually she turns him into a black cat. D04: WHO WERE THE WITNESSES AT THE WEDDING OF BARNABAS AND ANGELIQUE? A: Naomi Collins and Ben Stokes. D05: WHO STAYS AT THE THREE BELLS INN?

A: Nightshade. also - poisoned - Mrs.Trask (1897) In 1840 Gerard gets poison for Gabriel to use on his wife. D08: HOW CAN I DRIVE AN OPPONENT OUT OF A SAFE HOUSE INTO THE ARMS OF A WAITING WITCH HUNTER? A: Well if you believe the good Reverend Trask (and of course, we don't), then he drove the witch, Victoria Winters, from the Old House with the following: "The next mortal to cross this threshold shall be known to hold the power of evil. I proclaim the power of goodness and I announce its presence to the entire house. I give warning to the powers of darkness, that the powers of of light are at hand. Yield yourself to their command and spare yourself their awesome force which is about to strike your very soul. Victoria Winters, Victoria Winters, the powers of light have come to do battle with the the powers of darkness. Your destruction is at hand. Victoria Winters, Victoria Winters, come forth. Surrender yourself to the powers of light. Victoria Winters, let the witch come forth. Victoria Winters let the witch come forth. Victoria Winters the dust now knows your name and the earth shall proclaim it to the sky. Come forth to this threshold. Cross from darkness into light before the burning fires of goodness drive you forth in terror and in fear. Victoria Winters, Victoria Winters, answer the summons of the powers of light. Answer, come forth, answer. Surrender yourself before the consuming fires of goodness drive you forth. Victoria Winters your name is now known to fire. Surrender yourself, come forth, you will be consumed. You will be consumed. Evil show thyself. The powers of darkness are conquered now. Come forth. Come forth. You are summoned by the forces of everlasting light." After Victoria Winters runs into his waiting arms, he then says: "The powers of darkness are conquered now. The powers of light are triumphant. Down witch, down on your knees. Down, down, down into the dust. I have the witch. I have the witch." But, as we all know, it was Angelique's efficient spell that actually worked, not Trask's "mumbo jumbo" as Barnabas described it: So in case you ever need it - here's the Angelique method: "I call upon the heart of fire that burns within the heart of ice. The fire that freezes and does not consume itself. I summon the eye of fire that burns within the icy eye that watches over all evil. I call it to this room of my own creation. Heart of fire, heart of ice. Fiery eye of coldest evil. Burn. I command you to come and burn, burn, burn. Eye of fire, heart of fire. I summon you from the evil icy wastes of the world beyond. Burn, burn, burn. Heart of fire. Heart of fire that burns in the heart of ice. Heart of fire, fire that burns in the heart of ice. Eye of fire, heart of fire, burn,burn, burn." D09: IF THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS TOOK PLACE IN 1692 - ISN'T IT A STRETCH TO HAVE A WITCH HUNTER AND TRIAL IN 1795/6 - NO LESS QUENTIN'S TRIAL IN 1840? A: Well it might seem so - but lets look at the facts. Obviously Judah Zachery's 1692 trial and execution were geared to coincide with the trials in Salem, MA. It is indeed scheduled prior to the last "official" trial in MA. which took place in 1693. But that certainly didn't take the laws off the books or put an end to "witch scares". RCMANN@delphi.com posted the following concise summary to the alt.tv.dark_shadows Newsgroup: Here, for those interested, a few facts gleaned from _The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and Demonology_ by Rossell Robbins. The majority of witch trials in America took place in New England mostly in Massachusetts. Outside of the well-known Salem trials, only about a dozen witches were ever executed in New England. The Salem trials were in 1692. The last witchcraft trial in Massachusetts was in 1693. The defendant was found Not Guilty. There were a few minor incidents in the South as late as 1709. The last execution for witchcraft in the United States was in 1692. Witches were hanged, not burned, in England and New England. (ed. note - they were also stoned or crushed) The last witch executions in European countries were: Holland 1610 England 1684 Scotland 1727 France 1745 Germany 1775 Switzerland 1782 Poland 1793 (ed. note - Hmmmmmmm well see about that later) I found one VERY interesting piece of information about the Salem trials. In addition to the well-known group of eight girls who were the star witnesses, several other young people made accusations of witchcraft against their neighbors. One of these accusers was a 19-year-old girl named Sarah Trask. An ancestress, perhaps?

elderly individuals, mostly women, are being killed as witches in South Africa * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * D10: WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE DARN MUSIC BOX? A: It was actually a perfect gift for a cow-eyed young man to give to his intended. Music boxes were invented in Switzerland in or around 1770. So when Barn ordered one for Josette - he was getting her a still unique and expensive token of his affection. (or affliction) D11: SO SAY I WANTED TO TURN SOMEONE INTO A VAMPIRE, ANY SUGGESTIONS? A: This is Angelique's curse that made Barnabas a vampire: I set a curse on you, Barnabas Collins. You wanted your Josette so much. Well, you shall have her. But not in the way you would have chosen. You will never rest, Barnabas. And you will never be able to love anyone. For whoever loves you shall die! That is my curse, and you shall live with it through all eternity! Then he's bitten by a bat, to seal the deal! E01: WHERE WERE ROGER COLLINS AND CASSANDRA BLAIR MARRIED? A: Rockport, ME - in the City Hall. E02: WHO STARTED THE DREAM CURSE AND HOW DID IT GO? A: The dream curse was Angelique's pet idea. Who else! It was to get even with Barnabas and make everyone else miserable while she was at it. She started the ball rolling with Maggie and intervened with Sam Evans when the curse almost ended short of its goal. Through sight and sound and faceless terror. Through endless corridors by trial and error. Ahead a blazing light does burn. And one door leads to the point of return. Images behind the doors of the Dream Curse: 1 = a skull (Josette's music) 2 = guillotine 3 = a headless man (Lang's creation) laughing 4 = the skeleton bride (Angelique laughing) 5 = bats 6 = spider in it's web 7 = wolf (growling) 8 = Carolyn Stoddard's gravestone (Dec. 8, 1948 - July 15, 1968) 9 = Angelique (only seen by Professor Stokes) 10 = Maggie wearing black looking at Sam Evans' coffin 11 = blazing light leads to a vision of Barnabas, dead, on the floor of the Old House, E03: WHO HAD THE DREAM AND IN WHAT ORDER? A: (DREAMER) (visions seen, refer above ) Maggie Evans had the dream (1) and told Jeff Clark, who had it (1, 2) and told Dr. Eric Lang, who in turn dreamed (1, 2, 3) and told Dr. Julia Hoffman, who dreamt (1, 2, 3, 4) and blabbed to Mrs. Sarah Johnson, who had the dream (1, 2, 4, 5) and had to tell David Collins, who dreamt (1, 4, 5, 6) and relayed to Willie Loomis, who dithered, dreamt(1, 2, 4, 7)and spilled his guts to Carolyn Stoddard, who had the dream (1, 2, 4, 8) and told poor Sam Evans, who had such a time that he dreamt (1, 4, 2, 10) and died. [ Professor Stokes ] butted in trying to end the curse (9) [ Angelique ] wasn't to be stopped so she invoked [ Sam Evans' ghost ], who from the grave told Victoria Winters, who dreamt (1, 2, 4, 11) and passed the baton to Barnabas Collins, (1, 4, 2, 11) and the buck stopped there! Concluding Note: When Barnabas follows the Light to the Old House, he awakens without being bitten by a bat. He later hears 3 knocks at the door. He opens it, steps outside and is bitten by a bat (hears Angelique laughing). The curse has worked its evil. [ Professor Stokes interrupted the order of Dream Curse by having the dream himself, but Angelique resurrected Sam Evans so that he could continue the Dream Curse and tell Victoria Winters the dream. ] [ Carolyn Stoddard was summoned by Prof. Stokes and Barnabas by Cassandra herself. ] E04: WHAT WAS THE NAME OF VICTORIA WINTERS DREAM HOUSE? A: Seaview. Originally owned by Caleb Collins, now part of the Collins Family holdings. E05: WHO WERE THE "JURY OF THE DEAD"? They were the group summoned by Reverend Trask at the mock trial of Barnabas. They were the spirits of Jeremiah Collins, Ruby Tate, Maude Browning, Suki Forbes, Lt. Nathan Forbes and Ezra Simpson. F01: WHEN WAS THE "1897" FLASHBACK FIRST AIRED? A: The 1897 storyline ran from March thru November of 1969. F02: WHO OR WHAT WAS MR. JUGGINS? A: Mr. Juggins was David's name for the costumed dressmakers mannequin found in the abandoned West Wing of Collinwood. It was dressed up to resemble the 1897 Quentin to help avert suspicion from the kiddies strange antics, directed by Quentin's ghost. F03: WHERE WAS JUDITH COLLINS SENT WHEN SHE WAS HAVING A BREAKDOWN? A: Rushmore Sanitarium. F04: WHAT IS THE BOOK OF THE DEAD? COULD QUENTIN HAVE OWNED IT? A: It is highly unlikely that Quentin would have had a copy (at least until well after the 1897 episodes) and if he did, it would not have been the pocket sized version everyone at Collinwood was studying. The 1st of the pocket guide/tourist versions was not published until 1920. The Book of The Dead is not really a book in its own right, but rather a collection of funereal texts, poems, hymns, spells, incantations, litanies, magical formulae, names, words of power, and prayers from various and often disparate sources. The largest grouping of these texts is called the Theban Recension of the Book of The Dead and the largest single source of this version is the Papyrus of Ani. This was the first of the works to be publicly published. It was published by its principal translator E.A. Wallis Budge of the British Museum as a three volume set between 1890 and 1894. This was definitely not what Quentin had in that the original publication was done full folio, oversized in a limited edition for scholarly use. The standard book size edition wasn't published until the Medici Society 2-volume set in 1913. The single volume, small format, field reference version wasn't published until 1920. The term "Book of the Dead" is actually of fairly modern coinage. It was used by tomb robbers and treasure hunters in the 1800's to refer to any papyri in the possession of a plundered mummy. Kitab al-Mayyit = book of the dead man - or more appropriately a dead man's book. This was what was offered to western archaeologists who took the term as a title for the material rather than a description of the material. As the trade became more intense the plural was was more often used, giving us Kitab al-Mayyitan = book of the dead (men) (pl) F05: WHAT IS THE STORY WITH THE I-CHING? A: The storyline calls for characters to cast the I-Ching wands in an attempt to traverse time. They are successful when they throw, and meditate on the 49th Hexagram, which they call "Change". The I-Ching (Book of Changes) is a system of divination and prediction which originated in China. The " Book of Changes" is thought to have been written in 1150BC by King Wen with the assistance of his son, Duke Chou. Modern versions also include the commentary and added thoughts on the system by Confucius and his disciples. An individual seeking to use the system casts six flat wands or rods. On one side each rod has a solid single line, on the other a broken line. The solid line is called is called firm, the broken line is called yielding. The six wands are thrown and then stacked to form a hexagram, made up of two trigrams. ie: _ _ _ _ _ _ This arrangement of six yielding lines is called K'UN _ _ (The Passive Principle) it is hexagram #2 _ _ the upper trigram and the lower are the same and represent _ _ the earth, female aspects and a passive nature. The opposite of this is hexagram #1 which is 6 firm lines - called CH'IEN (The Creative Principle) and represents heaven, male aspects and an active nature (ok - its a chauvenist system!) Now let us disect the DS pick hit hexagram: YIELDING Although DS Called it "Change" the ancient texts are a FIRM a bit more definative. They call it "REVOLUTION" KO FIRM The upper trigram is LI (Fire, Brilliance and Beauty) FIRM The Lower is TUI (a body of Water, Pool, Marsh, Joy) YIELDING FIRM The Text says: "Revolution. Not before the day of its completion will men have faith in it - sublime success! Determination in a righteous course brings reward; regret vanishes!" The commentary points out that a stalemate is mandated by Fire above Water and that ultimately all revolution returns on the wheel to its original state. Now how any of this could aid time travel - well only a DS writer could figure that out. F06: WHAT DOES ARISTEDE CALL HIS KNIFE/DAGGER? A: The Dancing Girl. (It should be noted that when we first meet Michael Stroka as Bruno in 1970 - he is, once again, brandishing a knife, though not the same knife as his 1897 character) F07: WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT WEREWOLVES? A: "It's no ordinary animal. It wears clothes and walks like a man!" Elizabeth Collins Stoddard Keep in mind that it's nice to know the background - but don't expect Curtis & company to stick to it. as AOL DSer Shebastorm observed: the first rule of DS of course is NEVER to follow the rules of any legend....copy from all horror shows, but never quite follow the rules of any of them, make up your own rules as you go along, and be sure and change those often! That way fans will still be talking about DS in 25+ years! It worked, didn't it! none-the-less the ACADEMIC AMERICAN ENCYCLOPEDIA online at Prodigy says: WEREWOLF - {wair'-wulf} In European folklore, a werewolf is a man who at night transforms himself or is transformed into a wolf (a process called lycanthropy) and roams in search of human victims to devour. The werewolf must return to human form at daybreak by shedding his wolf's skin and hiding it. If it is found and destroyed, the werewolf dies. A werewolf who is wounded immediately reverts to his human form and can be detected by the corresponding wound on his body. Similar creatures exist in folklore worldwide: the tiger, boar, hyena, and even cat are were-animals in areas where wolves are not found. CLOSE BUT ONLY A FIFTH OF THE PICTURE! (additional research provides) Werewolves appear as far back in legends as vampires, and are as universal. The encyclopedia only dealt, and then briefly with a class B Werewolf, admittedly among the most dangerous but hardly the whole story and certainly not Quentin's plight. Class B's are usually sociopathic malcontents with a slight familiarity of the black arts. They choose to transform and do so by use of external magical amulets or talismans. (ie: invoking the power of a specially prepared wolf skin) They can change any night - not just during the moons full phase, and they retain thought and memory when they transform (I guess otherwise they wouldn't know enough to remove the talisman and become human again) and usually hunt with malice aforethought. Unlike curse victims - class B's seek and kill for profit, greed and revenge. They are truly a nasty lot. (FYI the werewolf in the Narnia Chronicles, by C.S. Lewis, was a class B) Class A : Top Necromancers or Werewolves by nature. They need no talismans, change at will and are classed chaotic Neutral. They may or may not do good or evil depending on their mood. Their state of being is a natural fact and not a supernatural curse or blessing. Bjorn or the Bjornings (in J.R.R. Tolkien's Ring Trilogy) was a Class A. Class B: Werewolves by choice. (If anybody is interested I could post a lovely 1740's incantation to promote such a transformation) As above - they are the true villains, nasty, sly and as a rule without conscience or remorse. Class C: Victims who survive an attack, but have lost blood to a werewolf. These are the hapless souls of the horror genre. They have no memory of their beastly actions and only learn of their actions through indirection and assumption. They then live in agony over their plight. In classic tradition a werewolf is no more capable of suicide then a vampire, and just to make it harder - the death blow must be struck in love, out of caring and mercy. Class D: A Curse! It's Quentin time. Class E: The most hapless of all - the Inherited Lycantroph - they didn't want it, they didn't deserve it - they are just stuck. By the way - I am surprised that the encyclopedia left out the three best known were-creatures (after wolves) - In Scandinavia and among the Eskimos, it is the were Bear (color as appropriate), The Vikings believed whole tribes of berserkers could become giant and invincible bears. (By the way fans - Berserk is old norse for - bare chest - the berserkers went into battle, no matter the temperature, with their shirts off) The Scottish / Irish Selkie, Man/seal, is a were beast, although much more of a sex machine than the others. And probably the most venerated were beast in the 20th century - the were-Lion of the African plains - It was the basis of the Mau-Mau ritual of drinking drugged lions blood and then donning a lions skin prior to raids on the "colonial oppressors". Wer = Man Wulf = Wolf in Anglo Saxon GERMAN = Werwulf FRENCH = Loup-garu SCOTTISH = Warwulf SLAVIC = Volkodlak F08: WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT DS WEREWOLVES? A: They always rip their shirts but never remove their shoes or pants. Most amazingly they always shrink! David Selby (Quentin Collins) stands well over 6 feet tall, Don Briscoe (Chris Jennings) is also over 6 feet tall. Alex Stevens - who portrayed both Quentin and Chris as the werewolf was under 5 feet 8 inches tall. So every time the full moon rose the lycanthroph would shrink 4 to 6 inches when he became the wolfman. F09: WERE THERE ANY BORROWINGS FROM OTHER CINEMA WEREWOLVES? A: Most noteworthy "borrows" were (a) the poem Jeb recites and (b) the flower that Sabrina believes can cure Chris Jennings. (a) The Poem (Snippet): Even a man who is pure in heart And says his prayers by night, Can become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms And the Autumn moon is bright. was originally written for the script of the 1941 Universal release, "The Wolfman" starring Lon Chaney Jr. (Creighton Tull Chaney) in the title role. (b) The flower, the Moon Poppy, was a major plot device in Universal's 1935 venture "Werewolf of London" starring British screen idol Henry Hull as the Werewolf/Botanist. In this movie the flower was referred to as the Marifasa Lupina Lumina. The existence of such a night blooming remedy is recorded in Gypsy lore and legend. It supposedly grows in "the East" or on high mountain ledges and is very rare. Modern identification of the legendary plant or a botanical analysis of it does not exist. Although Gypsy healers of the present day acknowledge the existence of the wolf bloom - they have not and apparently will not identify it for "gaijen" (outsiders). F10: WEREWOLVES VERSUS LEVIATHANS, SINCE WHEN? A: Admittedly the storyline takes a large leap of faith here - but maybe not as large as may at first appear. As is referenced elsewhere in these Q & A the Leviathan concept in Dark Shadows is deeply enmeshed with the Ugaritic/Sanskrit Naga. Werewolves are virtually synonymous, in European folklore, with the traveling bands of Gypsies - the Romany people. The Romany language has been tied closely to Sanskrit and much of the Gypsy magic and legend is grown from the Indo-Aryan mythos. So Werewolves and the Naga do have common footings and even if done by the DS writers only as a means to an end -ie: there was an unresolved werewolf handy - the rivalry may indeed be explained as a natural outcome of the ancient mythology. F11: WHERE CAN I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT WEREWOLVES? A: Suggested references include: The Werewolf - Montague Summers, London, 1933 Werewolves - Elliot O'Donnell, London 1912 The Book of Were-wolves:being an account of a terrible superstition - Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould, London, 1865 (He also wrote the Hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers) Der Werwolf - Dr. Wilhelm Hertz, Frankfurt 1862 Dialog und Gesprache von der Lycanthropia: oder der Menschen in Wolff verwandlung -Theophilus Lanken, Frankfurt, 1686 Montague Summers, was a sort of Prof Stokes for his time, his published works include: The History of Witchcraft and Demonology (1926) The Geography of Witchcraft (1927) The Vampire, His Kith & Kin (1928) The Vampire in Europe (1929) The Werewolf (1933) All of them were reprinted often and by various houses during the late 1960's. F12: WHAT DOES PETOFI DO TO EDWARD AND FOR HOW LONG? A: Pompous Edward Collins thinks he is the Earl of Hampshire's Butler, and spends his time whining and groveling from 7/23/1897 to 8/28/1897. F13: WHO WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR COUNT PETOFI? A: Petofi was loosely based on the mysterious alchemist who claimed to have found the secret to immortality - Count Saint Germaine. F14: WHEN PETOFI VIEWED THE FUTURE, WHAT DATE DID HE VIEW? A: The date on the newspaper when Petofi used the I Ching to travel forward in time - was October 28, 1969. F15: WHERE CAN YOU FIND A SPARE HAND WHEN YOU NEED ONE? A: Well - you can look in the lovely inlaid wooden chest, just the perfect size - which the Romano Gyspsy tribe kept Petofi's magic mit in. But if you can't locate the tribe - Remember that in 1897, Magda has the cask - as does Lawyer Hanley, for awhile. But for real enjoyment - see where else you can find the barrel lidded chest. In 1966 it sits on a table between Vicki and David's rooms on the second floor. In 1680 Brutus had it on a table in the drawing room. Those Collins do take good care of their possessions! While you look for Petofi's Cask through time and parallel dimentions - also keep your eye out for the Leviathan box - which keeps popping up , and the infamous Dark Shadows quilts which are often dressing sets in two locations at the same time! F16: HOW OLD IS AMANDA HARRIS WHEN QUENTIN FIRST MEETS HER? A: Ready - of course its a trick question! She is just over 2 years old - talk about cradle robbers. Charles Deleware Tate created Amanda by painting her portrait March 11, 1895. As you remember - his talent was such - that whatever he painted, appeared in real life. G01: WHEN DID PAUL STODDARD MAKE HIS DEAL AND WITH WHOM? Paul Stoddard flees Collinsport - 12/04/49 - in the process he makes a deal with Mr. Strach, a representative of the Leviathans, for 20 years of Good fortune and success. Paul Stoddard has to pay the fiddler - 12/04/69. G02: IF THE BLUE WHALE IS FULL, WHERE CAN I GO FOR A GOOD BAR FIGHT? A: Try the Hi Hat Lounge, Portland, Maine; it works for Quentin. G03: WHERE DID AMANDA HARRIS ATTEMPT SUICIDE? A: Dead Mans Leap - on an unspecified NYC Bridge. (Probably the Brooklyn Bridge judging from from the cable design) G04: WHERE WAS THE RUMSON ESTATE? A: Little Windward Island, Maine. G05: WHAT THE HECK IS A STINKY, SLIMY, LEVIATHAN, ANYWAY? A: The Earliest references (and probable origins) are in proto-Cabalistic Judaism - although other Ugaritic and Near Eastern Mythologies also include the Leviathan. The root "Levi" is the same as that of the Jewish Priest Cult - the Levites, and in its earliest form the Leviathan was a servant of the "most high" - guardian of the oceans and sort of the Constable of creation. As time went on her (yup, I said her) reputation became tarnished and she was mated to Behemoth, grand demon of the earth. The two had a very uneasy marriage which was to climax with Leviathan's redemption, in the destruction of Behemoth during the final days of the end times. "The seas will Boil" is seen as a reference to the battle between the two. The Book of Enoch - casts Leviathan as Mistress of the seas and Behemoth as Dominator of the land. A common myth has Leviathan and her mate created on the fifth day of the Judeo/Christian Creation - They are so powerful and long lived - the very apex of creation - that G-d regrets the action and slaughters the male beast to provide food for the soon to be created humans. This of course annoys Leviathan greatly and causes the rift between her original role as G-d's enforcer and her later persona as the epitome of terror and a mega-evil force, as well as her hatred and disdain for the human race. Some Christian sects in the Middle ages used Leviathan as the beast that swallows Jonah. Depending on the source - Mystic texts of the dark ages on have identified the Leviathan as - a whale, a large snake (ie: NAGA or the Scandinavian Midgard Serpent) or a crocodile (the ancient Egyptian "avenger of the gods") In DS the writers combined elements of Lovecraft/Judeo-Christian mysticism/ and the Pre-Hindu Naga mythos to give us Jeb Hawkes et al. G06: HOW DO THE NAGA AND THEIR BOOK FIT INTO THIS? A: Naga is the Sanskrit word for serpent. The Naga-Loka were the ancient serpent gods (were-snakes) of the Indus valley - their worship/veneration has devolved to the current day Cobra cults. Many villages still have a Naga Stone guarding them (similar to the Shivalinga used as a plot device in INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM). The Naga-Loka were banished to the underground kingdom by Brahma. There they were constrained to bite only the truly evil or those whose appointed time of death had already come. The flute used by snake charmers is a nagasuram - sort of an oboesque flute - Coming from the region of mountains on the border between India, Burma and Pakistan - known as the Naga Hills, in the state of Nagaland. In the period between 1865 and 1880, the Naga people, headhunters of this region, were exterminated by the British Colonial Forces. Nag is the Northern Indian term for the King Cobra (similar to the African word Simba (Lion) used as many a lion's name) and was used by Rudyard Kipling in his story "Riki Tiki Tavi" as the name for the menacing king cobra (whose charming and equally menacing wife was called Nagaina) (Maybe if Prof. Stokes and Julia had imported a dozen mongoose to Collinsport, the Leviathan storyline would have progressed quicker!) The image of the entwined, multi-headed serpent is a common on the Naga stones and appears extensively in the frieze work of the ruins of the ancient university of Nagarjunakonda in Andhra Pradesh. G07: HOW CAN YOU TELL THAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH A LEVIATHAN LIFE-FORCE? A: Check their right wrist for an interesting birthmark. Joseph, Alexander, Michael, Jeb had a crescent moon birthmark. H01: WHO LIVES WHERE ON THE ESTATE IN 1970PT? A: Rose Cottage = Bruno Hess Loomis House (the Old House) = William & Carolyn Loomis (later joined by a nervous Amy) Collinwood = Quentin and Maggie Collins, Daniel Collins, Roger Collins, Elizabeth Collins, Amy Collins, Hoffman, Angelique Stokes Collins, Alexis Stokes and Mr. Trask. Carolyn often stays over. Also the ghost of Dameon ((Damion)) Edwards. The Old Shack at Findley Cove = Roxanne (when not at the Stokes Cottage) The Collins' Mausoleum = Claude North Characters nearby and in the village of Collinsport: Mrs. Duvall's Boarding House = Minnie Duvall, Buffie Harrington, and John Yaeger Longworth's Home & Lab = Cyrus Longworth (later joined by a very nervous Bruno Hess), and apparently Sabrina Stuart, who is on the premises at all hours of the night and day. Aldon Wick's Farmhouse = where Yaeger brings Maggie The Stokes' Cottage = Timothy Stokes, Roxanne:the life-force body. H02: WHERE DID QUENTIN AND MAGGIE HONEYMOON? A: The Lovebirds frolicked on the French Riviera. H03: JUST HOW DEAD IS ANGELIQUE SUPPOSED TO BE WHEN WE ARRIVE IN 1970PT? A: She was 30 years old when she passed away during a seance, 6 months before Quentin arrives with his new bride, Maggie. Mourning just isn't what it used to be. (What, dead 6 months and still not forgotten?) But then 6 months seems to be a standard among the Collins family. In 1840 Samantha Collins marries Gerard Stiles 6 months after her husband Quentin is missing at sea and presumed dead. H04: WHAT DID ALEXIS COLLINS DO PROFESSIONALLY? A: She was a sculptor. H05: WHAT DO WE CALL THE SECRET INGREDIENT IN CYRUS LONGWORTH'S COCKTAIL? A: Aside from "plot device" we could refer to the chemical compound, as did its creator (Horace Gladstone), as "the synthesis". Actually it was called "the synthesis" so often, that one could have visions of Sam Carvalis referring to his Carvel soft serve as " the Product". "The product is the very best product on the market. The product is made of only the finest ingredients. I am sure you will enjoy this product." Maybe the secret ingredient in Carvel Ice Cream was "the synthesis"? H06: WHY DID THE PT COLLINS HAVE A YEARLY COSTUME BALL? A: It was held each year to celebrate Quentin and Angelique's Anniversary. H07: WHAT DID ELIZABETH COLLINS STODDARD (PT) COLLECT? A: Hatpins. H08: WHO WERE THE PRIMARY SUSPECTS IN THE MURDER OF ANGELIQUE (PT)? A: Quentin Collins, Bruno Hess, Will Loomis, Mr. Trask, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, Sabrina, Cyrus Longworth, and Roger Collins also were at the seance. Julia Hoffman was in the house - but not at the seance. H09: WHO DID HOFFMAN THE HOUSEKEEPER WORK FOR BEFORE THE COLLINS FAMILY? A: She worked for the Richardsons and was a friend of Inspector Hamilton and his wife. H10: WHAT DID BUFFIE HARRINGTON DO BEFORE BEING A BARMAID? A: She was employed as a domestic at Collinwood. H11: WHERE DID EVERYONE GO WHILE HALF THE CAST WAS FILMING "HODS"? A: Maggie Evans Collins was staying with her sister in New York. Barnabas was trapped in a coffin by Will Loomis. Will Loomis had sequestered himself so that he could write in peace. Hoffman had been sent to visit relatives in Boston. Elizabeth and Roger kept making trips to Boston and Portland. H12: HOW DOES ONE TIME TRAVEL AT COLLINWOOD? A: - Dream travel is the safest - experience the past or future in the relative comfort of your own canopy bed. - Not very reliable but - a seance can send you back and forth in time. It can also give you psychic scars for life, or end your life! - If you are stuck away from the main house - try the I-Ching wands. But read up carefully to make sure you have the correct grouping. If it is anything other than Hexagram #49 - change - throw again and start over. - In the East Wing - there is a large room which can send you to Parallel time and vice versa. - In the West Wing - there is the "Stairway In Time" for linear travel, built in 1840 by Quentin Collins Esq. - Check with your astral travel agent and be sure to have the appropriate wardrobe and currency. ( If a medical professional be sure to bring your black bag and lab supplies - you'll need them!) I01: WHAT YEAR DID BARNABAS AND JULIA VISIT IN THE FUTURE? A: 1995 - although Barnabas keeps changing his mind and at one point says 1998 and at another says 1997. But then the events of 1795 keep being referred to as 1796 or 1797. Ah Continuity! I02: WHO LIVES WHERE ON THE ESTATE IN 1995? A: Rose Cottage = destroyed Old House = Barnabas, Julia, Quentin Collinwood = The Ghost assembly: Gerard Stiles, Daphne Harridge, Tad Collins, and Carrie Stokes The Old Shack at Findley Cove = Carolyn {Stoddard} Hawkes "Fredericks" I03: WHERE HAD QUENTIN COLLINS BEEN FROM 1970 TIL 1995? A: He had been a "guest" at the Stormcrest Sanitarium. J01: WHERE DOES MAGGIE EVANS END UP IN 1970? A: She becomes a "guest" at the Wyndcliff Sanitarium. J02: WHO WAS THE MOST GENEROUS OF THE GHOSTS AT COLLINWOOD? A: That honor would have to go to Daphne Harridge - she was always leaving "tokens" about. Gifts from Daphne: to David: model of the 2 masted China schooner - "Java Queen" to David: a complete and pristine young man's outfit circa 1840 to Hallie: a lovely party outfit complete with pantaloons and hair ribbons circa 1840 to Quentin: a bouquet of Lilacs and a kiss, sigh! to Elizabeth: Porcelain Figurine of a governess and student J03: WHO IS THE FIRST TO NOTICE THE PRESENCE OF STILES IN 1970? A: If you count David's photo of Maggie and Quentin with Stiles appearing to lurk in the background, then we'd have to credit David with the first inkling, followed by Carolyn and then Quentin (heavily into denial). But the first to feel Stiles' presence and recognize it for what it is, would be the ever popular Dr. Julia Hoffman, who shares her feelings with Barnabas as soon as she enters the house. In the "flesh" or "ectoplasm" Stiles is then seen by the Kids, Elizabeth, Carolyn, Barnabas, Mrs. Johnson and finally Quentin. J04: WHAT WAS DAPHNE HARRIDGE'S FAVORITE SCENT? A: Lilac. It filled the surrounding area whenever her ghost was near. J05: WHAT WERE CAROLYN'S CLUES TO THE 1995 PUZZLE? A: Just before she died Carolyn wrote down six clues that would lead to the moment the - - - - hit the fan at Collinwood in 1970 creating the 1995 which Barnabas and Julia witnessed. These were: 1) The night of the Sun and the Moon 2) the night Rose Cottage was destroyed 3) the unfinished horoscope 4) the night I (Carolyn) sang my song 5) the picnic 6) the murder --------------------------------------- W A R N I N G : GENUINE SPOILER SECTOR: --------------------------------------- 1) Its an Eclipse! (or Sebastian Shaw's medallion : ) ) 2) Rose Cottage is a Doll House! Although as David points out, It looks a lot more like a Mansion then a Cottage. But it is also a real location on the property. Carrie Stokes had always wanted and dreamed about having a do
