I've been watching Grayson Hall DS clips on youtube. I've always liked her, from Night of the Iquana onward. Her acting is sometimes (ironically) amusing but she's always engaging and sells the scene. Gad, they must have worked under terrible pressure and time constraints on that show.

Since Grayson was married to one of the writers, I always wondered if she influenced him to beef up her role, or if she had any input on her role.Comment

Frid accused her of not knowing her lines and over-acting. But she was hardly the only one guilty of that and he was pretty crabby in later interviews. I like the by-seat-of-your-pants, let's-put-on-a-show aspect of DS and am very tolerant of it.
She could really turn in finely-modulated performances in other venures, so I consider her in DS as specific to that show and milieau.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Dark Shadows Every Day is certainly a champion of Grayson Hall and Dr. Hoffman. She's certainly captivating, and always interesting, but having watched all her episodes now, I think she can at times be the BEST actor on the series and the WORST, based on her choices.... sometimes in the same episode!!! She goes big or goes home, every time! She's like a female Shatner in that regard. Technically, a very good actor, but sometimes a bit too...indulgent in her projecting. In my opinion, of course.

Has anyone noticed excessive cropping on the Tubi prints? I was watching it on Hulu and it never happened, but when I started watching it on Tubi (right around the time when Willie got shot by the police) it almost looks like they took a 4:3 print that had been cropped to fit 16:9 screens, and then cropped again to make it 4:3. Even the title card is chopped off on the edges. Just really weird.Comment

A look at the card. I wonder if any Angelique and Quentin customs are floating around out there in mego form?

I've been watching the Dark Shadows channel on Pluto now for months...
I've seen the early black and white and the later color episodes but yet to see Barnabas bare his fangs...
after dozens and dozens of episodes...nothing...not one scene...does he ever show his fangs on this show ?Comment

^^
The first shot is from episode 250 after Maggie tries to take him out. He bares them first in episode 225, but in haste,
Frid puts the fangs in upside down, so the effect was lost (2nd pic). The rest of the shots are from later in the series.
1967 was conservative with the fang brandishing, but after he's cursed in the 1795 Flashback, they become more frequent.
And after the return to 1968, there are fangs aplenty...but I will not reveal more than that
