Three actors from Dark Shadow also performed in ground breaking theater productions for their portrayal of gay life.

Joel Crothers - January 28, 1941 – November 6, 1985

Dark Shadows - 166 episodes as Joe Haskell & Nathan Forbes

In 1982, Crothers originated the role of Ed Reiss, the lover of Harvey Fierstein’s character Arnold. At the time, brothers was the best known actor in the cast due to his work in Dark Shadows and other soap opera, so he got top billing.

Keith Prentice - February 21, 1940 –September 27, 1992

Dark Shadows - 40 episodes as Morgan Collins

In 1968, Prentice was in the original cast of The Boys in the Band, as Larry, "extremely handsome" commercial artist who prefers multiple sex partners. He also appeared in the 1970 film directed by William Friedkin.

Christopher Bernau - June 2, 1940 – June 14, 1989

Dark Shadows - 23 episodes as Phillip Todd

When Prentice left the office-Broadway production of The Boys in the Band, Bernau replaced in in the role of Larry. He continued in the role until the show closed in 1970.

Sadly, all three actors died before their time due to AIDS.

Episode 614: Any morbid fantasy

Housekeeper Mrs Johnson saw old world gentleman Barnabas Collins last night, and he was in a frightful state. Her son, unsightly ex-convict Harry, had come upon Barnabas unconscious in the woods in the small hours of the morning, and brought him back to the great house of Collinwood. Barnabas was pale and weak, barely able to stand. Mrs Johnson wanted to call a doctor, but Barnabas refused any…

thank you @sea-of-machines for sending me this cool picture of king crimson!

Dear lord, did Angelique just romantically fixate on Joe Haskell?

It’s like her type is just “Men who would rather be fucking Josette / a specific modern woman who looks exactly like Josette”.

Girl, get therapy.

I don't know how many times I've seen this episode, but Joe's breakdown and Liz's catalepsy always horrify me. Gets me right in the gut. Two decent people who don't deserve all of this trouble.

Here are two portraits that were recently discovered in the attic of Collinwood, the Collins Family ancestral home. The subject of both painting is Lt. Nathan Forbes.

Family records indicate Forbes and Barnabas Collins were close friends in the late 1790s. But their relationship deteriorated shortly before Barnabas departed for England.

Later Forbes married Millicent Collins, Barnabas’ cousin. But the marriage was annulled by Joshua Collins.

reviews i made bc i'm bored

PROGRESSIVE ROCK SUITE REVIEW #1: Lizard by King Crimson.

Length: 23:19

Title track of "Lizard". Not "unlistenable", as Fripp had said, but really a great song, I'd rate it 9/10. The vocals couldn't be done better by someone other than Jon. And the drums are even better in the same section, "Prince Rupert Awakes". My favorite part of this suite. It seems that people tend to forget the talents of Andy McCulloch in the one album that he was on. A very underrated lineup with Keith Tippet included, beautiful piano playing. The only downside for anyone could be the length. It's fairly long, so I wouldn't recommend it for people new to the genre. 

Lineup of-

Robert Fripp: Guitar, Mellotron, Electric Keyboards and Devices

Mel Collins: Flute & Saxes

Gordon Haskell: Bass Guitar & Vocals

Andy McCulloch: Drums

Peter Sinfield: Words & Pictures

with 

Robin Miller: Oboe & Cor Anglais

Mark Charig: Cornet

Nick Evans: Trombone

Keith Tippet: Piano & Electric Piano

Jon Anderson of YES: Vocals on ‘Prince Rupert Awakes’

PROGRESSIVE ROCK SUITE REVIEW #2: Close To The Edge by YES.

Length: 18:38

Close to The Edge - one of YES' greatest suites. Close to the Edge is considered a must-listen for all progressive rock fans, showcasing the band's musical ability and power to create long and complex compositions. Great for people new to the genre. A solid 10/10, Close to The Edge is a masterpiece, showcasing all members of the band. Though not his "greatest" work, the last YES album Bruford was on as the drummer of YES was their last with a drummer who was a legend in prog, who broke the boundary between jazz and rock. Close To The Edge, in which this suite is the title track, is the first album to feature Howe using a steel lap guitar and proves his proficiency in all variations of the instrument. This album was their greatest, in my opinion. With its intricate rhythm and strong melody, it's truly a timeless masterpiece.

Drums, Percussion: Bill Bruford

Bass Guitar & Backing Vocals: Chris Squire

Engineer & Producer: Eddie Offord(A producer famous for his work with YES and Emerson, Lake, & Palmer.)

Lead Vocals: Jon Anderson

Keyboards: Rick Wakeman

Electric Guitar & Backing Vocals: Steve Howe

PROGRESSIVE ROCK SUITE REVIEW #3: Tarkus by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (aka ELP). Length: 20:43 I truly believe ELP hit their peak with Tarkus. Tarkus is a side-long story of the armadillo-war tank hybrid on the cover of the album. I would rate it 9/10, for its complexity in music, but it is very long, making it somewhat of a chore to listen to for people newer to prog. Keith Emerson exhibits his mastery of the keyboard through his extremely large modular moog synthesizer, allowing for a wide range of sounds. Palmer’s drumming is also impressive, showing his ability to play complex time signatures and handle rhythm changes well. The suite has many sections, each with its own theme and mood. These pieces are different, yet flow into one another perfectly. If you want to explore progressive rock, Tarkus is essential. It combines rock, classical music, and innovative sounds perfectly.

Drums: Carl Palmer
