Dark Shadows - The Lost Episode
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- Parody spoof of the classic TV soap "Dark Shadows". Dr. Julia Hoffman, feeling betrayed and rejected by her love, vampire Barnabas Collins, finds comfort in the arms of another vampire. Also, "Dark Shadows, the Directors Cut" is included. Part 1 was shot in November 1990 when my friends and I journeyed to Newport, Rhode Island to shoot some videos on the lawn of the majestic Seaview Terrace (known today as The Carey Mansion). Someone forgot the script so I had to quickly create a story and feed the actors their lines from behind the camera. Upon returning home, I found I didn't have enough footage for a cohesive, seamless video. So, I asked Darryl Schaffer to play Jonathan Frid in an arm chair narration to tie the scenes together. Part 2 (DS The Director's Cut) is essentially a collection of outtakes. Darryl didn't have time to dub his voice in some of the scenes where Barnabas is "thinking" so you hear my voice and these scenes are labeled "Rehearsal Footage". I hope you enjoy our efforts.
Glad they addressed the flaws that often occurred on the old Dark Shadows soap opera. From actors fumbling on their lines, to techies and microphones appearing mysteriously on set, awkward fight scenes, the works. The actor playing Julia Hoffman delivered some of the best laughs. So did the actor playing Jonathan Frid/Barnabas Collins. As an old time Dark Shadows fan, I enjoyed this spoof.
OMG!! Barnabas and Julia! LMAO!!!! Dead on impersonations!
OMG! The Julia scenes just sent me into orbit! FANTASTIC.
Darryl’s impersonations of Barnabas and Julia are spot on !
Excellent impersonations of Jonathan Frid and Grayson Hall as their respective characters.
This could not have been better. Your preparation hard work and love for the show is obvious.
I loved it! Darryl's impersonations are brilliant, and the script is very funny. Hard to believe it's 30 years, cos it's so very UA-cam.
LOL - "That Roger Collins was always a cheapskate!"
Looks like you all had a blast doing this. Thanks!
Dent Davidson thank you, Dent!
The guy who played BARNABAS. Incredible!! Every nuance! Every inflection! Even the face movements!!
Excellent!!!!!!!! Excellent!!!!!!
This was hilarious. Each time I heard Julia's voice it was hard keeping from cracking up and waking my husband! Did anyone ever notice fart sounds close to the microphone? How did the actors keep from laughing when one of them would mess up their lines?! I wish I'd taken notes of all the goofy moments and comical acting!
I love the little belly to make him look like older Frid. What a fantastic homage!
The woman that played Julia played her to perfection.
Forgot to mention Dr. Hoffman's ever-changing hairstyles throughout this episode! So appropriate.
Amazing impersonation of Frid!!!! Spot on! I can't stop laughing, All of you are great! I'm gong to do a transvestigation on whoever is playing Julia Hoffman, though....
Julia-fabulous
The sun was shining brightly, and Barnabas was cavorting insanely about the estate grounds. Was he, in fact, secretly immune to sunlight? Stay tuned!
I ran home from grade school to watch the original Dark Shadows in the 60's. I laughed until I wheezed over your Barnabas and Julia impersonations. Spot on and hysterical. Bravo !!!
Laugh riot! What a hoot!!! Only 'Dark Shadows' fans can truly appreciate the unintentional humor of the original series. Darryl Schaffer was deliciously wicked as Barnabus Collins!
I must say that you guys really do seem to capture the personalities of the original characters, but I must give extra credit to the way this guy immitates Barnabas. Not only does he speak as he did, but he looks like a younger version of Barnabas Collins. The guy narrating, looks like a young Willie Lumus.
Love Barney's ssssssssssssssses
I'd run home from school to watch this as a 6 year old , I loved the opening music with the mansion in fog and huge waves crashing on the rocks.
That is great! The impersonations of Barnabas, Julia, and Willie were hysterical! So many references to the show--the 3 scenes with Sam Evans--make this fun for fans!
Thank you, Amy!
LOL! I love your portrayal of Julia Hoffman with her breathy, haltingly melodramatic delivery!
The guy who is playing Barnabas is doing a great job. Excellent. Also, the woman playing Julia really got her down very well.
This is pretty funny, I enjoyed it! Love, love, love the impression of the fabulous Grayson Hall.
LOL!! Re: The Lost Episode-I don’t know what’s funnier, Darryl looking for the teleprompter, Helen losing it on camera or Guy’s giggling OFF camera! 😝. As for the director’s cut, I was there at Seaview and participated behind the scenes. In fact, one of the people you hear laughing as Darryl/Julia has his/her face pressed up against the glass of the phone both is me! LMAO!! 😝😂🤣
I love this video !! Darryl Shaffer does a great job!
OMG! This guy channeled Jonathan Frid. Spot On!👍👍Julia ! just too much!🤣🤣
That guy doing Dr Hoffman was great!
The actors playing Barnabas and Julia are great!
Absolutely hilarious! I watched DS when it first ran and this lost episode just cracked up. The mannerisms were spot on.
Love the videos ! Love Dark Shadows !
Oh, this is wonderful! Spot-on!
Absolutely amazing. I've been cracking up for the last 10 minutes, non-stop! Great actors here. Even shot on location! I've just now discovered this and can't wait to find out more.
This is so fun love love love I'll soon be 66 in 68 when I was 12 and watched the original this is great and love your material Thank You hilarious 💟
I just happened across this perusing my childhood favorite show!! I still watch it today!! I have to say "Julia' was spot on by both "actors" !! no one cried and sobbed like Julia Hoffman!! I REALLY enjoyed this!!
Thank you!!!
The woman who played Julia was a RIOT!
Julia!! OMG...so perfect!! You need to do a Reverend Trask epiode now!!
YO PLEASE 🙏
I haven't laughed this hard since the Dark Shadows 12 Days of Christmas video. THANK YOU!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Someone was "channeling" Barnabas for sure. So funny! Shared.
"Drat Stokes's flash cards!"
ttintagel Thanks for noticing! That was one of my additions! I didn’t know if anyone would notice or not.
I'm a fan of the original series, and this is so funny. if you closed your eyes and listened you would swear it was Barnabas and Julia. Great video, loved it.
Love this! I laughed the entire way through - everyone was brilliant in their roles!
Thank you, Maryjane!
Loved this. Really good impersonations.
Hilarious !!! I needed a good laugh tonite. Great !
David’s mullet is everything!!!! This shit is a HOWL!!! 😂
Lots of fun watching this! Use to run home to watch!
Barnabas in daylight, what a sight! Very well done.
I know that I’ve said this before... how some ever this gives me such joy!! What great fun, and the best Frid impression I’ve ever scene!
I like this, because it is on location. The Curtis production pretty much abandoned any use of location shots after a while. This was actually acted on site.
Being a boomer who grew up watching DS after school, I laughed my A off, and the Julia character got her moves down perfect.
My all-time favorite flub of all the DS episodes was when Josette jumped from Widows Hill and bounced back up into the shot. They must have had Josette jump onto a trampoline the way she flew back up into the shot.
Nancy Barrett (Carolyn) explained that taping DS was early days VTR and once they had the the VTR feed up between DS sound stage and main ABC studio the only thing they'd stop recording for was if someone fell and broke a leg or something, hence all the flubs, which in my opinion made DS all the better.
The actress playing Julia was great.
Someone please give Julia a quarter! Lol.😂😂
LOL! I’m so glad fans like the pay phone gag! We saw it there and had to incorporate it into the video. Thanks!
The guy playing Barnabas/Frid was amazing!
This is so funny!! I really enjoyed it. The actors did a great job with their impersonations, especially the ones who played Barnabas and Julia. They nailed it!! I am a Barnabas and Julia fan so I only wish they would have gotten together!!!
Julia and her gloves was great.
The gloves! Yes!! And her "BA-rnabas.......AAArrr aw aw aw Aw!!!"
This was actually funny! I used to rush home from school to watch Dark Shadows.
This is fantastic!! I want more please!!
This is great. Even David sounds like David!
I can’t say enough good about this piece!! Bloody well done!! I’m on Maryland we have to hook up!!
towerburkindine thanks! Where in Maryland are you?
Boy! This video is hilarious! I love the "Fang in cheek" humour! I needed to see this! Thanks from a new fan in Canada! ~Janet in Canada
Thank you, Janet! Welcome to the world of dark shadows! ❤
HILARIOUS!!! Well done Darryl!
Now it's all your fault, Darryl Schaffer for your life everlasting life. Whyyyyyyyy?!!!!!! Because all of because your hilarious blaming acting, I'm never going to stop laughing as long as I've live.
Love this need more
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Bravo bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Give you all a standing ovation
I couldn't stop watching out of fascination with how the voices were SPOT ON! Barnabus picking his nose had me rolling. Does anyone know if he ever acknowledged that getting caught on tape? If I were doing a parody, the two things that oddly stick out to me is that for Maggie Evans, everything is solved with a cup of coffee. For Julia Hoffman, a full exam and diagnosis is made on merely checking the pulse. She gave out sedatives like candy. And now I'm REALLY going to date myself by stating a pay phone didn't cost a a quarter in the late 60's, it was a dime. Yep, I remember. This was so fun to watch.
Yeah, we considered that when we came up with that line, that calls in ‘67 were .10 cents and not .25, but Julia saying 25 sounded funnier than saying 10. 😉😝👍
Yeah, Julia Hoffman kept half of Collinsport sedated. Love the tribute to the nose-picking blooper @13:58!
this was hilarious!!! Loved all the impressions -- and having them right on location certainly added to the authenticity. And btw perfect casting for drunk 'Adam' on the beach - timing is everything! ;) I wasn't sure if I'd like this - but I loved it!! Take a bow!
I love this video filmed at my favorite house in the world! Great job, Guy . The cast is just terrific!
Who else has seen episodes 1 through 211? I think one of those went missing. Back then the show was about the "dark secret" (shadow) of Elizabeth having killed her husband and buried him in the basement, with grifters blackmailing her and her brother's ex wife going mad. A ghost of Josette in the old house was introduced around episode 165 give or take.
What a treat to see this again -- and to see myself with a single chin! I remember how that wig (which looked more like a poor attempt at taxidermy than human hair) just wouldn't stay put. I also remember my skirt flying up during a fight scene with Tracy, and me tugging (always tugging!) on those gloves and a comment I made about Barnabas while doing so. Imagine THAT on an outtake reel! Thank you, Guy, for making me laugh today, My dogs are actually looking at me with concern!
Worth the price of admission right there
What in the world?!🤣🤣🤣🤣. This is too funny.
This is hilarious! Well done, all! 🦇
Second Time to watch entirely, love it! Genius!
Superb!
Julia at 31:00!! So funny! You know what would be great is if you put the episode these are based on.
Julia was OUTSTANDING!!! LOL
I just want to know how the hell is Barnabas walking in the daytime 😂 this is hilarious
Darryl Schaffer was terrific in his portrayals of Barnabas Collins AND Grayson Hall AND John Karlen, in different parodies and costume presentations that I have seen. His vocal impressions were always "spot on". If someone ever gets around to completing the "Night of Dark Shadows" restoration, they should DEFINITELY get Darryl to re-dub Grayson Hall's missing dialogue tracks.
I have said this for years. Darryl should get the job!
Darryl didn't play Julia Hoffman in this one! Whomever did, they did a great job!
Darryl played Carlotta in a parody of "Night of Dark Shadows", at the 1989 Dark Shadows Festival in NYC. His impression of Grayson Hall was PERFECT. He also played Willie in a "House of Dark Shadows" parody, at the same DS Festival. Again, his John Karlen impression was "spot on" -- and hysterical. And, in a costume presentation, he was dressed as 1967 Barnabas, and (once again) his Jonathan Frid impression was just right. He even said "Noooooo!!!" with the same tonal inflections as Jonathan.
inflections
Darryl was amazing, and his Julia the best ever. In fact, I take off my wig to him!
This is the Best thing I've seen recently!🤗😅
Thank you!
This was one of the funniest parodies of a classic show I have ever seen (all the SNL stuff included). I have never heard anyone do an impression of Jonathan Frid before. Darryl Schaffer's impression of Jonathan Frid is so spot on in both voice and gesture (not to mention flubs), he could probably do a cross country "Jonathan Frid tour" ( why not, some guy did a Paul Lynde one !) This was fantastic. Any DS devotee would love this. Please do more!
I was curious, if anyone knows, are these people comprised of what would be known as "The Collinsport Players" at the Dark Shadows festivals? I only inquire since they're acting is spot on, and very well rehearsed. I had two parts in The Collinsport Players at the Dark Shadows festival in 1998 held in Las Vegas. I was the understudy for the young gal who was to play Victoria Winters, then at the last minute, my role changed to Willie Loomis instead. I was also part of the chorus line too. I was just curious if this was Guy Haines as Barnabas in this video? He videotaped the DS festival and graciously mailed me a vhs copy about a month or so after the 98' DS festival. Great acting and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. 🙂
Darryl was great as Jonathan and Barnabas!
Note the nose pick. Epic.
Bravo!!! Beavo!!! So wonderfully played!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Bravo! You must have had a lot of fun making this, and to be able to use Carey Mansion--I'm envious. Only, I kept looking for the not as parody TV shows reoccurring bloopers microphone, cameraman, walk-ons, crew incidentals. Hahaha.
I have never laughed so hard...
Roger Collins was always an over the top DRAMA QUEEN! Always upset about something. Lol 😅
This was SO much fun! lolz!!
Lol!!! Love this!!!
I have added your delightful video to Dark Shadows Facebook Fan club! It has several likes and 3 shares!! Lol good on ye!!
Where can I see Darryl Shaffer’s other impersonations? This is incredible!
If John Waters did a take on DS, it would look like this!!!😂
Thanks! I love John Waters! “Female Trouble” is my fave!
I wish I could give this more than one "like". This was hilarious and I almost spit my coffee out a few times! Great acting!
Omg!!! I’m watching this again and loving it!! I love the signature Frid stained ssss!!! Please include me next time!! Lol I can do a Dr Smith Petofi Mitch!! Lol
You wont beat my petofi!!!!
24:18 Funny thing…Willie Loomis looks just like the guy from whom I purchased a number of _Dark Shadows_ time period-specific t-shirts in the early-90s! lol
Ha ha!
Who are you? 🙂
@@Bellero Carl C. from Houston, Texas 77088. Back in the day, I attended DS Fests (from '88-92-spent a lot of time in the dealers’ rooms; bought a ton of stuff), got ShadowGram & other DS fanzines, helped Parker Riggs with the Lone Star Shadows fanzine (I didn’t realize it was Cheryl portraying Julia here until I read it in the credits!), held quarterly DS-watching parties at my house from '88-99, etc., and, yes, bought a number of your excellent t-shirts! A friend of mine (Michael L.) from Houston called me last week to tell me enthusiastically that he’d just purchased some DS bumperstickers from you, and that you were kind enough to include some calendars from previous years. That sent me on last night’s quest to discover what you’re offering on *your website* …which I still haven’t found, 'cause I got hopelessly sucked into watching DS videos on UA-cam all night instead, lol; but that search led me to your UA-cam channel.
@@Bellero Were you able to see my reply? I can only see it when I sort by _Newest first_ instead of the default, _Top comments._ (And I think they took the ability to change it to _Newest first_ AWAY a while back in the UA-cam phone app. I only use UA-cam in a browser on a computer these days.) It’s an oft-mentioned problem that gets a lot of discussion on Reddit and Quora. UA-cam comment sections have been behaving oddly lately with comments “disappearing,” the past couple of years especially. Google needs to get its act together!
I really live this. But the downside is that it may cause a severe uptick in trespassing on the Carey property.
Very nice effort! I applaud all of you!
Thank you!
Bravo! What fun. You’ve made me choke on my coffee this morning😂❤
Yep!!!!!!!! You can play that "Eh, eh-eh, again, Mr. Robert Colbert. That Barnabas Collins has gotten Caroline Stoddard bitten on the neck.
I Love Dark Sadows.
Where did you get the coat!!!!????
Darryl Schaffer is brilliant. 🦇
Witty fun clever sendup of the original 👌🏾
I love this!! Well done so fun!! If you do another I’m in!! Count Petofi or Nicholas Blair!!! Awesome!!!
