  1. Thank you, Ken! I was yet another of the kids who watched "Dark Shadows" after school and I think Collinwood Manor/Seaview Terrace was the first house in which I became interested. I drew A LOT as a child and I drew mansions based on Collinwood and before I knew it was a real house. I would say that "Dark Shadows" and Seaview Terrace led me into an interest in houses and architecture and architectural history. I also became interested in the people who lived in such houses. (There's actually a word for the study of the rich: plutology.) Along with being interested in social history I became interested in social class issues and sociology. I've never been to Seaview Terrace or even seen it in real life, but the house, even if indirectly, has been of much importance in my life.

  2. The Old House at Collinwood was on the Lyndhurst estate in New York. Sadly that house was destroyed in a fire.

  4. One of my favorite lines is after Angelique who has been dead for six months but without decay comes back to life in her coffin and says to her twin sister Alexis who said the body must be destroyed, "....someone must be destroyed, but it won't be me. It will be you". Then when Angelique has taken Alexis's place she says to Quentin, "Angeliques body must be destroyed...and the sooner the better". That scene is on You Tube along with many other "Dark Shadows" videos.
