House of Dark Shadows review with Chloe Thomas

[@ratfeather]

I saw House of Dark Shadows in what was I think 1975. It was running on The Late Late movie that they would show Saturday at 10:30 p.m. if I'm remembering correctly. The scene with David hanging in the closet was in that over-the-air broadcast of the movie. I seem to recall it was a rather dark shot and not on camera for long. I think it was intended to be a jump scare but I thought it was confusing and hard for me to sort out what was happening visually.

I think the simplest interpretation of the "they" is Angelique and whatever vampire she bespelled to come bite Barnabas. Barnabas usually had a sense of the people he had bitten, so I'm going to guess he had some connection of whoever it was that bit him. For many years I thought the bat was a magical thing that Angelique had conjured but, given that the show has examples of magic being used to control vampires, it seems possible that Angelique would be able to grab hold of a vampire to do her bidding.

'they' was mentioned once by B-Man on the tv show 1967 storyline?

The movie actually hurt the series. It was more a Hammer film than Dark Shadows. Good interview.
