Interesting and a treat to see.

Just put up a quick darkshadows short it’s mainly showing off the big finish titles and audio books with some other stuff as I’ve seen a lot of booktubers who talk about loving witch’s and vampires and pretty sure dark shadows had the best witch and vampire and even know so I hope by making a short I can spark some interest maybe you should make short using your version of the dark shadows theme showing the books Laura Parker wrote I don’t have here books label it book tube and great witch of all. 😊

Thanks for posting this, Danielle! I have to admit, I'd never seen this one before. A couple of Joan's questions, like whether HIV/AIDS would be mentioned in the show (it was the early 90s and it was on everyone's mind, granted, but still...) and Ben's spending habits since becoming a success made me shake my head, but Ben handled it all with class and good humor. Again, thanks for posting this!

She had no "Class". Somethings can't be bought. Ben handled her questions as a true professional.

Maybe Joan didn't realize vampires are already 'dead' and wouldn't be affected by HIV. Regardless, the 1991 DS was excellent, and was unfairly cancelled (I feel) due to the Gulf War. Yet another conflict the U.S. had no business being in.

Yikes. That AIDS question. 😬 And this was only a year after Ian Charlson passed away from it... ouch.
