Montague Summers collected nightmarish legends from around the world that have become movie and fiction fodder--vampires, the werewolf, and witchcraft. Novelist and lawyer John F. Wirenius visits the podcast to discuss his new biography of the clergyman and curator of the macabre. The book includes a chapter on Dark Shadows, (super)naturally. Along the way, John talks about his fandom for Dark Shadows and touches upon Summers' influence on Gothic cinema and television.

For the first time, Sy’s career, with a special focus on Dark Shadows, is spotlighted in the upcoming book, Sy Tomashoff: Dark Shadows by Design by Patty Karapinar.

Although Dark Shadows was a supernatural Gothic drama, there were several characters who displayed humorous traits throughout the series. From the outrageous Carl Collins and Pansy Faye to the eccentric Eagle Hill Cemetery caretaker and the put-upon Mrs. Johnson, this episode takes a look at the lighter side of Dark Shadows. Returning to the podcast to discuss these amusing character moments is entertainer and groovy Austin Powers tribute artist, Richard Halpern. In addition to our main discussion, we talk about Richard’s experiences as emcee at the Dark Shadows Festivals, Baby Dark Shadows, the Collinsport Players, his recent Austin Powers adventures, and much more!

Jean Graham, née Peacock, was one of the founders of ShadowCon, the original Dark Shadows convention which started in 1977, predating the Dark Shadows Festivals by several years. With the last Dark Shadows convention on the horizon, Jean visits the podcast to talk about her memories of the very first one. She also discusses the challenges of early DS syndication days in the 70s, her DS fanfic and how that led to pro fiction publishing, her DS music arrangements and piano playing, and her fandom for The Man from U.N.C.L.E and Star Trek. Other topics include: the appeal of Barnabas, Mr. Spock, and Illya Kuryakin to outsiders, San Diego Comic Con - then vs now, sneaking into a movie theater balcony to watch House of Dark Shadows, and throwing a DS Halloween party in 1970.  Terror at Collinwood and Shilling Shockers shirts, stickers, mugs, and merch at the Penny Dreadful XIII TeePublic shop Help support the podcast by donating at Buy Me a Coffee Follow the Terror at CollinwoodFACEBOOK PAGE Dark Shadows 60th Anniversary Celebration Jul. 31-Aug. 2, 2026 - EVENTBRITE TICKETS LINK Dark Shadows 60th Anniversary Celebration Jul. 31-Aug. 2, 2026 – HOTEL RESERVATIONS LINK Jean Graham’s WEBSITE Jean Graham’s fiction at An Archive of Our Own Jean playing her Quentin’s Theme arrangement on piano on YouTube S.T.A.R.
