Welcome to the Dark Shadows Podcast Summit where the hosts of four DS podcasts come together for a convivial roundtable discussion! Christen Pierce and Cara Tillitz of Between the Shadows, Alan James Gallant of Collinsport After Dark, and Jule T. Saynes, Gordon Dymowski, and Patrick McCray of Resident of Collinwood join Penny Dreadful of Terror at Collinwood to discuss topics such as: guests’ relationships to DS and why it still resonates with them, whether or not Count Petofi survived 1897 and whether he’d be in his own body if he did, what other authors could/would Dark Shadows have adapted, would DS have incorporated trends in 1970’s horror had the show continued, is a new Dark Shadows series going to be something that we’d actually want or not, gatekeeping in fandoms, what fans need to do to keep DS awareness and fandom alive, and more! You don’t want to miss this podcast crossover episode of epic proportions!

The Dark Shadows Daybook Unbound is now available for download as an audiobook. Reader Mary D. Johnson joins Rondo Award-winning writer Patrick McCray in this episode to discuss what it’s like experiencing Dark Shadows for the first time in such a unique way. Assorted Daybook selections from the audiobook, as read by Mary, are included in the episode. Other topics include: themes in Dark Shadows, Roger Davis, why it makes sense that Vicki doesn't understand, how fans of DS are sometimes perceived by fans of other franchises, and more.

Join us to learn “what might have been” in PART TWO of this exclusive examination of John August’s original, unproduced dramatic screenplay for the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp Dark Shadows film. Madelyn Marks, admin of the Dark Shadows Discord server community, and Patrick McCray, writer of ‘The Dark Shadows Daybook’ and ‘The Dark Shadows Daybook Unbound’, sit down with Penny Dreadful for an in-depth discussion about the second half of August’s elusive script, which has never been seen by the public.

Rondo Award-winning writer Patrick McCray returns to Terror at Collinwood to discuss ‘The Dark Shadows Daybook: Unbound’. The new 430-page book features a delightful foreword by Mark B. Perry, followed by Patrick’s in-depth, witty, and insightful analyses of many original Dark Shadows episodes. He also provides memorial tributes to recently departed stars from the show, looks at the 1991 revival series, reviews ‘A Dark Shadows Christmas Carol’, and more. Additional discussion topics include: Dark Shadows fandom, the ghost of Quentin Collins, the Leviathans, 1840 Barnabas conundrums, and much more.
