I just hated that in HODS Roger, Carolyn, and Julia died in the movie. That was just stupid to kill main characters off. Its like making a movie on a sitcom and having all of the characters die. You should either try to rent or buy the movie HODS. The movie turned out to be 97 minutes like you said. I never knew Jonathan Frid could play Barnabas so great and evil. The only thing that bugged me about the movie is Thayer David. He gets on my nerves!!

Yeah, one thing I don't like about HODS is all the gore in it. DS never showed all that blood, maybe that's one of the reasons I like NODS better because it resembles it in the way that neither used much blood. I only read about what happened in the beginning of the movie, so I was surprised when Julia, Roger, and Professor Stokes died. Some fans think that HODS might've actually helped kill DS: Parents taking their children to see the movie may have thought the TV show was just as bloody and banned them from watching it, even tho this has never been proven. I've tried to find both HODS and NODS in video renting places around here, none of them have it. I'm gonna get it off Amazon sometime this year hopefully.

Oh, and my least favorite thinga bout HODS is that:

Jeff didn't die!

Yeah thats what is weird. Fans are used to seeing him with Vicki why did they decide to put him with Maggie in the movie? She already had a boyfriend Joe. Also they had 2 different last names for Todd, first it was Blake then at the end on the closing credits it was Todd Jennings.

They put her with Roger Davis because Dan Curtis only wanted people who were currently on the show. That's also why Alexandra Moltke and Joel Crothers did not reprise their roles (though they probably wouldn't have done it if they had been asked). Joel was doing The Secret Storm at the time. Joel, IMO, was waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy better then Roger Davis at acting. In Kathryn Leigh Scott's HODS diary, she mentions that if they make Roger Davis her boyfriend on Dark Shadows, she would eat cookies until she ballooned up as revenge! Yep, they messed up with the names. They also mispelled Clair in hte credits of NODS. They spelled it with an E at the end, even though the script had her down as 'Clair'
