Some thoughts on how quickly times have changed!

Heh. I remember watching that episode when it first aired. I was 10. And I remember thinking even back then that the "monster" was really, really, exceptionally cheezy.

LOL, maybe that was one of the low budget episodes then? I actually enjoyed the episode though, the idea is great although the science behind some of the plots are completely unreal to. I think it's titled "the devil in the dark". I don't remember the season it was in though. What I also found funny is when they do a close-up of Spock or a Klingon and you can see where the ear make-up is starts. I know, I have no life or maybe I'm just observant LOL I don't know.

I think it was a first-season episode. Most of the special effects seemed pretty cool at the time because we didn't have anything better to compare them with (and if you want to see some of the worst production values ever, check out "Dark Shadows," which ran during those years). But the Horta, well, it was just a big rock with an attitude. Seriously unimpressive.

OMG! Dark Shadows! Really cheesey but I watched it every flippin' day.

As did I. I had a big 'ol crush on David Selby, who played Quentin Collins (a werewolf, I believe).

Yes, you're right. He played in a few movies afterwards but disappeared from the scene. He was really handsome.

When looking back a movies they ofton seem very corny by today's standards. You can find cheese running pretty much through the movie industry. You don't have to go back to the 60's to find them either. You just have to view it 10-15 years later. One movie that has scared every generation since 1939 is "The Wizard of Oz"

He's still around and working and looking pretty good too imo.


The Dark Shadows series has a big cult following now including a fan club and a yearly festival. http://www.darkshadowsfestival.com/Quite a few clips from the show on youtube too.

As a Brit I have never seen it (only the clips) but the reason I know a lot about it is that it is being made into a film by Tim Burton starring guess who. Been on the cards for a couple of years and now it is official.
Tim Burton says Dark Shadows with shoot next year

Johnny as a vampire ...

Y'know, I thought I had read that somewhere. JD is one of my favorite actors and I can only imagine how good he'd be at playing a vampire. The ones today are so wimpy and whiney. Remember Brad Pitt? Ugh! I'd like to see a vampire who really LIKES being a vampire, one who WANTS to entice his victims, not one who regrets it. (Ok, I'm sick. Whatever.) And this pic of David Selby is smashing! He's still very handsome. Thank you, Chris.

OK, so maybe I've still got a big ol' crush on David Selby!
