Dark Shadows: The Leviathans
Did you know a soap opera in the 60's did a plotline based on The Dunwich Horror? The supernatural soap opera Dark Shadows did many wild things in its run, but the wildest was a Lovecraftian plotline! We will explore the Lovecraftian roots of the story arc, why it may or may not have worked and why it's such a divisive plotline. Never seen or heard of Dark Shadows? Let us introduce you to your next obsession! Dominique Lamssies presents this afternoong binge watch of the 5 key episodes in the months-long storyline.
Dominique Lamssies is a writer local to Portland, Oregon and is the head necromancer at The House Of Silent Graves, where she makes monsters for people to hug. She strives constantly to have every story she writes involve some form of dead person and sound like it was written a hundred years ago. Her work has been featured in The Horror Zine, Non Binary Review, and Women in Horror Annual. She hopes to someday write a story worthy of having Peter Cushing star in the movie version, were he still with us. She always wants to talk about weird movies and hopes Ed Wood blesses your day.
