If you missed this year's Dark Shadows Festival a few months back, you're in luck: A 50th anniversary celebration is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles next month that will feature a number of original cast and crew members.
The event takes place noon until midnight at the Hollywood Women’s Club, located at 1749 La Brea Avenue, Hollywood, California. You can download a flyer for the event by clicking the image below. Hardcore DARK SHADOWS fans should take note that the October event includes an appearance by original "Willie Loomis," James Hall. That's going to be kind of a big deal for autograph collectors, I suspect. The event will also serve a a showcase for Lara Parker's latest novel, "Dark Shadows: Heiress of Collinwood," which is available for pre-order from Amazon.
The guests for October's event include Lara Parker, John Karlen, Kathryn Leigh Scott, Roger Davis, Nancy Barrett, James Storm, Lisa Richards, composer Robert Cobert, scenic designer Sy Tomashoff and James Hall.
Here's the official announcement:
