We rule!!!!! :) Sorry, couldn't resist...

I think there is a line missing...
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days
But will don a pocket square and cravat

ROFLOL! High fives!

I am really intrigued to see where they take the costuming for this production. We don't know if it will be historically accurate or updated or...???

And don't forget these immortal lines:
And thus I clothe my naked villany
With old odd ends stolen out of holy writ;
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.
x#@! you, I won a BAFTA!

x#@! you, I won a BAFTA!
And proffer my middle finger at those I meet,
If they doth call me Everyman.

Yes... so many unknowns...

Really enjoyed your discussion of Dark Shadows on the Sofa. Another solid segment of genre history. Now, how to find that Lovecraftian story arc?

Oh, thank you! I'm so happy you liked it. I really appreciate your listening.

Good question! I know it spans episodes 886 through 950 and first aired in the 1969/1970 season, if that helps.
