[QUOTE="Oh!Carol Christmasson, post: 412323, member: 8"] Reboots (a criminally misused word in modern speech) are common in soap opera and perhaps even more so in Dark Shadows as it would be absolutely impossible to live with the memories of the previous storylines. The most significant DS reboot I've seen so far is happening right now. Elizabeth Stoddard, no longer complaining about Cassandra's death spell, says there's something strange about the atmosphere in the house. My reaction was: you're saying that [I]now [/I]? It is the kind of the storyline that you would expect to see at the very beginning of the series, something that introduces the evil and mystery that will haunt the characters at Collinwood, and by extension, every poor unfortunate soul in Collinsport. I guess it's the use of the house itself combined with the terrific child actors that makes it all genuinely creepy, as opposed to the more exploitative monster-horror from the previous storylines. A hidden room only accessible via a small opening, a disconnected telephone that rings and a psychic who discovers more than she's bargained for - which leads to [B]the second staircase moment in 5 episodes. [/B]Background screaming provided by Grayson Hall. [ATTACH type="full"]54706[/ATTACH] David Selby has made his first appearance, and it's the ghost of Quentin Collins that turns the kids into homicidal maniacs. Brilliant stuff! He's got a death sign edited over his face. That does it. I'm going to write an angry-fan letter to Dan Curtis Productions. Joe visits cousin Chris Jennings who lives in a crappy little room, and I think there's something homo-erotic about putting these two characters in such a small space. To be spookily continued [/QUOTE]
