    Terror at Collinwood Episode 109: A Tribute to Christopher Pennock
    May 3 2025

    A talented actor, comics creator, and beloved Dark Shadows cast member with an electrifying presence and personality, Christopher Pennock was taken far too soon when he left this plane of existence in 2021. As part of his extensive body of work in theatre, television, and film, Chris appeared in several projects helmed by filmmaker Ansel Faraj. These include Theatre Fantastique, Doctor Mabuse: Etiopomar, The Most Haunted House of Venice Beach, and The Job Interview. Ansel returns to the podcast and is joined by actors Elyse Ashton, Douglas Eames, Kelsey Hewlett, and Kelly Kitko as they reminisce and share memories of working with Chris. Special thanks to Ansel for editing this episode and including several rare clips, photos, and an interview featuring the legendary Christopher Pennock!

  • Terror at Collinwood Episode 106: The Dark Shadows Podcast of Questions & Answers Volume 4

    Terror at Collinwood Episode 106: The Dark Shadows Podcast of Questions & Answers Volume 4
    Mar 8 2025

    A somewhat salty, and possibly insane, Penny Dreadful addresses another batch of DS continuity, plot, character, and canon questions in this episode, inspired by Dale Clark’s wonderful Dark Shadows Books of Questions and Answers which were published between 1989 and 1995. In this installment, the following questions are addressed: Would Julia’s treatments have permanently cured Barnabas? When Barnabas is in his coffin during the day, is he sleeping and can he be awakened? How does Laura Collins “work”? Was Barnabas destroyed at the end of House of Dark Shadows? Where were Gerard’s pirates in 1840? Stagehands in the shot? Mic shadows, boom mics, and cameras in the shot?

  • Terror at Collinwood Episode 105: Ghosts and Revenants of Dark Shadows with Bobby Lugosi and Katherine Gonzales

    Terror at Collinwood Episode 105: Ghosts and Revenants of Dark Shadows with Bobby Lugosi and Katherine Gonzales
    Feb 19 2025
    The ghosts that haunt the Collinwood estate represent the most numerous and diverse group of supernatural beings in Dark Shadows. Some spirits are helpful, offering spectral warnings in attempts to assist the living. Others are malevolent, bent on revenge… or worse. Many are tragic figures, doomed to wander the halls of Collinwood or the Old House for all eternity. Bobby Lugosi and Katherine Gonzales visit the podcast to discuss some of our favorite DS ghosts and revenants! Other discussion topics include Night of Dark Shadows, DS collectibles, and real-life ghostly encounters. Bobby Lugosi is a Rondo Award-winning monster kid influencer who runs the very popular Lugosi Theatre channel on YouTube and social media. Katherine Gonzales runs the Discount Artificial Sweetener channel on YouTube where she posts her song creations (Katherine's lyrics, with music made using AI tools) based on Dark Shadows storylines, characters, and other topics.
