Writer, blogger, and podcaster Danny Horn visits Terror at Collinwood for a fun discussion about Dark Shadows, superheroes, and more! From 2013 to 2021, Danny undertook the Herculean task of examining Dark Shadows episode by episode, starting with the release of Barnabas, via his popular Dark Shadows Every Day blog. The blog also took side-trips into real-life events surrounding the show, looked at licensed media such as comics, novels, and audio dramas as well as the various DS remakes and reboots. Currently, Danny hosts the Superheroes Every Day podcast and maintains a corresponding blog through which he explores superhero films. Topics of discussion in this episode include: Superheroes Every Day, how Danny got into Dark Shadows, Muppets, Doctor Who, Dark Shadows Every Day, villains as main characters, fandom and ‘zines, watching DS in syndication during the 80’s, the Kaiju, serialized storytelling and genre TV as soap opera, Mark B. Perry's Dark Shadows Reincarnation, Muppets/DS crossover (?!), and much more!

Where does Dark Shadows fit into the landscape of popular culture, and is DS going to slip out of the pop culture consciousness, completely? Writers Jim Beard, Rich Handley, and Charles R. Rutledge visit the podcast to address these topics and shine some light into the shadows! Jim, Rich, and Charles have written extensively about numerous icons of pop culture and speculative fiction. Their writing, which includes works of fiction and non-fiction, examines many wondrous worlds of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. They’ve explored Dark Shadows, Batman, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Spider-Man, Dungeons & Dragons, Universal Monsters, Godzilla, Ghostbusters, Ultraman, Hammer Horror, The X-Files, The Shadow, and many other franchises of the fantastic! Please join us for this fun and lively discussion! Other topics include: the ’91 DS NBC revival series, whether Barnabas and Julia would end up together, Dark Shadows Reincarnation and the idea of a sequel show, recasting vs. not recasting, more discussion about the proposed Dark Shadows fiction anthology, and much more!
