I expect you'd realize why I quote this...

Let's move on to Katharine Hepburn. I enjoy her as the title character in ALICE ADAMS (1935).
But it's a chore to watch her in THE IRON PETTICOAT (1956).
I watched bits of several of KATHERINE HEPBURN's last night including a bit of IRON PETTICOAT. It's like watching her spoof GRETA GARBO as Ninotchka. Emphasis on NOT. And I always thought I turned it off 'cause of BOB HOPE.

Actually, Barnabas does say "I am a vampire!" after his father Joshua discovered him alive in the basement of the Old House during the 1795 saga.
It's worth pointing out that a lot of story had transpired by the time the cast made that first time travel trip...

It’s funny, it took a very long time (around episode 800) for them to use the word “vampire” regularly. For a very long time they referred to Barnabas as “the undead” or a “walking dead thing”, anything but “the v word.”.
I don't remember any use of THE word "vampire" but it was the story of Collinwood handyman Willie Loomis discovering that the occupant of the secret crypt-hidden coffin was alive that caused the buzz I remember. Hidden crypt coffins with jewels and a surprise is very cool when you're 5 and 6.

This thread is popular, apparently.
I grew up watching the original Dark Shadows on afternoon TV. All the kids got BUZZED when in the under-10 years-set word got around that this TV show (4pm weekday afternoons) had a VAMPIRE!!! I even watched the failed early 90s reboot (also DAN CURTIS produced I think). When I watched the reruns at around 4...A.M. in the early 80s, it had been over 10 years since it'd been off the air and my brother, sister and I were appalled (and delighted) by the CHEEZEE production of that show!!! I mean Barnabas routinely forgetting lines (and stammering) booms buzzing overhead, production crew glimpsed behind sets and moving, wobbling walls... a delight!

How long ago? I don't remember seeing it on TCM, at least not in a long time. It's a good one I'd love to see this one again.
Probably more than 15 years... I know it was on again not long after that first time I saw it, which was when I bought the DVD (which includes the novel it was based on!) I have never looked at the DVD... and I have not seen that scorcher since the first couple of times. But, so very memorable! What a movie! Lynched lover! Family betrayal... and loyalty... but scissor throw... UGH!! LOVE IT!!!

The Furies. Like that one very much and I wish TCM would show it.
TCM has... that's how I first saw it. Western Noir at it's best!

Have you seen Roger Livesey in one of his final wonderful roles, as the Duke of St. Bungay in 18 episodes of the miniseries The Pallisers?
No but I will keep an eye out for it; our library has lots of DVDs...

Was Livesey even nominated for Supporting Actor? If not, he should have been.
I doubt it...

Livesey is also excellent as Laurence Olivier's father in The Entertainer.
The best part of THE ENTERTAINER is ROGER LIVESEY.

The Life and Death of Col. Blimp (1943)
I didn't get that movie at all. It's one of those movies I'll give a second chance to when in the right mood.
That's the film that made me love ROGER LIVESEY. I was already a fan of MICHAEL POWELL's films. Definitely give it another chance.

This has long been one of my favorite movies of all time.
Gambit (1966) I generally don't care for SHIRLEY movies much, but in that one she sure is beautiful and I like that film particularly for HERBERT LOM.

@AllHallowsDay: May I recommend the 1972 movie DEATH BED: The Bed That Eats. It wasn't fully completed for decades after it was made . . . but it was filmed at an estate in Michigan, I believe.
DEATH BED: The Bed That Eats! Mmm . . . good human cracker! An' crunchy, too!
I haven't seen it that I recall, but being a BAD movie fan, I am well aware of it. Can't claim to be much interested, but if'n I ever do get the chance, I'll remember it's filmed at an "estate"...

What Are You Watching Now?

I occasionally glimpse a bit of an episode, mainly to see RON HOWARD, but the reruns are up to 1981 and he was gone by then. What a dull show I thought it was then, I stopped watching it after the first 2 or 3 years. It's still dumb and dull, and once Richie was gone talk about DUMB! That show "jumped the shark" long before Fonzie actually did it.
