Members DRW50 Posted January 23, 2020 Members Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Sad. I know he'd been sick for a while...John was one of my favorite Dark Shadows actors. Charismatic, gorgeous, and insanely talented. He really tore into his material. Yes he could be ridiculously over the top but he also managed to give layers and sold everything he was given. And I just loved watching him with Nancy Barrett. I wish clips of Will and Carolyn Loomis were available. I just ate up that storyline.

Members amybrickwallace Posted January 23, 2020 Members Share Posted January 23, 2020 Not only was he great as Willie Loomis, but he more than earned his Emmy for playing Harvey on Cagney & Lacey. RIP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 24, 2020 Members Share Posted February 24, 2020 Dark Shadows had some of the most beautiful music composed for a show. Some of the songs, like Josette's Theme, have never left my head. Initially so simple, sweet, then full on pathos - much like Josette herself. Cobert was a genius. I loved his Blue Whale songs the most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted February 24, 2020 Members Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) RIP to Robert Cobert. DS truly did have a great stable of cues to use, probably one of the most recognizable features of the show. He did a great job of creating themes for characters/settings along with just general background themes. My favorite is probably Angelique's theme. "A Darkness at Collinwood" - iconic.

Members DRW50 Posted February 24, 2020 Members Share Posted February 24, 2020 That reminds me a little of I Wanna Dance WIth You (I can never remember if that was a real song from back in the day or not). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted February 24, 2020 Members Share Posted February 24, 2020 One of the first records I had as a child was the 45 of "Quentin's Theme." "#1 at the Blue Whale," was on the B side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted February 24, 2020 Members Share Posted February 24, 2020 What a talent. I have a couple of collections of his music. I was not aware that he also scored The Doctors until I was watching one of the Retro episodes and immediately noted his distinctive touch. RIP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 24, 2020 Members Share Posted February 24, 2020 It was so freaky when I started watching and immediately heard those cues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted April 5, 2020 Members Share Posted April 5, 2020 Peter Minor, who produced the show for much of its run, has passed away. (Worthington Hall in the 1897 storyline was named for his father, the great producer Worthington Minor.) The younger Mr. Minor later directed One Life to Live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2020 Members Share Posted April 5, 2020 Very sorry to hear that. Every time we lose another person tied to the original Dark Shadows it's another small light going out on something that can never be duplicated, no matter how they have tried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 6, 2020 Members Share Posted April 6, 2020 Oh, that is tragic news to hear. Peter Miner remains one of my all-time favorite directors from this genre. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted April 18, 2020 Members Share Posted April 18, 2020 Did we know that the WB Dark Shadows pilot is finally floating around online? I haven't had time to watch it yet so I'm not sure if this is it, but it does seem like it. I've been wanting to see this since it was originally rejected and considering it's been shown at fan events I've always been shocked it never seemed to leak online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
