We are sad to report that longtime Dark Shadows cameraman John Field Wood died back in May at the age of 93. As part of ABC’s camera staff, John worked on several daytime soaps, along with ABC’s Wide World of Sports. He won an Emmy Award for his work on the 1984 Summer Olympics.

Amused to see that Meta's mass theft of published book texts included the Marilyn Ross opus Barnabas, Quentin and the Avenging Ghost. 👻

Author Dan Ross (1912-1995) on LATE NIGHT w/ David Letterman in 1987.

"Canada’s Most Prolific Writer" wrote 358 novels — incl. 33 based on ABC's #DarkShadows (available in new editions from Hermes Press).

I met him in the '80s and he was a lovely, humble guy.

We're on a social media break but are checking in to mark the Centenary of Jonathan Frid, born 100 years ago this week.

Through #DarkShadows and beyond, his nuanced portrayal of Barnabas Collins continues to entertain and inspire audiences old and new.
