HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS Horror Poster JONATHAN FRID

Dark Shadows was one-of-a-kind soap opera on ABC, that was done LIVE. It went from mildly gothic to gothic horror when they brought in Jonathan Frid to play Barnabas Collins, a resurrected vampire. As the soap opera changed to living color, they also added werewolves, witches, ghosts and possession. They even tried "time travel" to tell the history of Collinwood. "The House of Dark Shadows" was actually made while Dark Shadows was still on television. This is a theatrical motion picture based on a Dark Shadow storyline. Most of the entire cast in this film also appeared in the original Dark Shadow tv serial (1966-1971). Jonathan Frid, Grayson Hall, Kathryn Leigh Scott, Roger Davis, Nancy Barrett, John Karlen, Thayer David, Louis Edmonds, Don Briscoe, Dennis Patrick, Lisa Blake Richards, Jerry Lacy, Paul Michael, Humbert Allen Astredo, Terrayne Crawford, Michael Stroka and Joan Bennett.  George Di Cenzo has an uncredited role, whom you may remember from the 1976 tv-movie "Helter Skelter" or the ABC tv-series "Dynasty". The story of this film is super-fast storytelling that took years to tell on the ABC Network serial. This sticks with the gothic story without all that soap opera fluff. Willie has released Barnabas Collins from his stone coffin and thus is resurrected. The man has lived for 175 years and nearly 200 years inside the stone coffin. He must have blood from the victims he chooses to stay young. Thinking he has just arrived in town, he gets re-aquainted with his immediate relatives. They do not know he is the killing vampire nor the original Barnabas Collins of family history, which is why he is so knowlegable of Collin's Family history. The Collinwood set is actually The Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, New York. The Collinsport Inn is actually The Three Bear's Inn in Westport, Connecticut.  The abandoned Moastery set is actually the Lockwood-Mathews mansion in Norwalk, Connecticut. The old house set is actually the Schoales Estate (Beechwood) in Tarrytown, New York.

 ITALIAN PHOTOBUSTA POSTERS

Italian Film Posters have been produced in Italy since the early days of silent film cinema.  These posters were used to advertize, often behind glass, in front of the theatre, to draw in an audience to see the latest Italian, European and American films released that year in Italy.  The color graphics of Italian posters, were usually most unique and different from posters made in any other country.  The titles and descriptions on the poster were normally translated into Italian, however the names of the film stars, directors, producers and the film studio names remained, of course, the same.  The posters were usually machine folded after production, and then shipped to the theatre for display.

"Photobusta" Posters, have been printed in Italy, since the 1930's, on glossy paper, a bit thinner than the American half sheet poster (which they are usually closest to in size, but a bit smaller).  These were displayed, usually behind glass in the lobby or the exterior of the theatre to advertize the current film playing or coming attractions.  The color graphics and photos depicting dramatic moments in the film, are usually most unique and different from posters made in any other country.  They were usually machine folded once after production, and then shipped in a large slipcover envelope to the theatre for display.
