From November 1968 to February 1976, Gold Key Comics published 35 issues of the Dark Shadows comic book series, plus a story digest. The comic featured unique stories, adventures, and supernatural creatures not seen in the TV show. Returning to the podcast to discuss the Gold Key DS comics are noted writers, and longtime comics and DS fans, Dr. Jeff Thompson and Nick Caputo. Listen, as we choose our favorites and talk about some of the notable creators behind this memorable comic series.

The Dream Curse storyline in Dark Shadows was inspired by an obscure 1957 horror novel called The Dreamers, written by Roger Manvell. Although this was revealed by writer Ron Sproat at the first DS Festival, many remain unaware of the book and its influence on the Dream Curse plot. Returning to the podcast are Amanda Desiree and Stephen R. Shutt, who are both writers and longtime fans of Dark Shadows and all things spooky. We spend the first half of this episode examining The Dreamers, comparing and contrasting the novel to the plot line in the show. In the second half of the episode, we have some fun interpreting the symbolism of the DS Dream Curse as we try to determine the greatest fear of each dreamer.
