I love the thumbnail choice here. Scrolling through the Patreon feed I saw the picture and immediately thought "Woody from Toy Story is the Night Strangler?"
I absolutely loved the series! I was in my early teens when it aired and watched with my mom. We saw the movie first and were hooked.
Pleeeeaasseee watch the series. Some clunkers but a lot of BANGERS! Great blend of comedy, horror, suspense and some science fiction. As in the case of Battlestar Galactica the network rushed the series so Darren McGavin spent endless hours fine-tuning and honing the dialogue and the stories so that the show would try to achieve the same quality as the TV movies. It was a thankless task and although he achieved it in many episodes and some episodes it wasn't possible to save them. At the end of the first season Darren McGavin just threw his hands up and said he had had enough and walked away. There is a chance it could have had a second season but it never happened.
Regarding the series: let's see the biker episode is good. The sequel to the original movie story is good. The werewolf story is good. And I remember an alien lizard story, I think it's the Gorn, it was pretty good too. They're all pretty good you guys will probably enjoy them. Seventies aesthetic to the hilt.
I think the series is sit in LA. Just Go With It..
As I recall, the series was on ABC Friday nights at 7:00 p.m. opposite Planet of the Apes on CBS. A Sci-Fi fan's nightmare! Regrettably neither series made it beyond 1 season
The underground city in Seattle, was actually a real thing at the time of filming. I don't think you can access it anymore. I may be wrong, but I believe the ocean has taken it in the 50 years since this movie was shot. It would be a good question for a resident of Seattle.
It's still there and open for tours: https://undergroundtour.com . I was there for one ten years ago. Pretty cool.
Dan Curtis created Dark Shadows.
I know you guys are going to go ahead and watch the series, unfortunately it never Rises to the heights of even this sequel film. Quickly devolves into the monster of the week category. But it's dumb fun and a definite part of my childhood that made me the man I am today
Vincenzo is a cheese ball but if you guys really want to see something weird, he's in a he's in a weird pilot from 1964 called Alexander the Great. He plays a Greek General, so does Adam West, Shatner plays Alexander. You just couldn't believe it. It's on YouTube.
John Carradine- father of David and Keith. Bella lugosi's replacement in the classic Universal Dracula films.
The bum is Grandpa Munster.
Love this! Richard Anderson will go on to be The Six Million Dollar Man's boss. Wally Cox ended up on Marlon Brando's mantlepiece .
Most people won't get that reference, but that's hilarious, Brando actually fought for his remains in court lol
Good stuff 👍
