September 19 Terror at Collinwood Episode 138: Montague Summers and DS with John F. Wirenius
Montague Summers collected nightmarish legends from around the world that have become movie and fiction fodder--vampires, the werewolf, and witchcraft. Novelist and lawyer John F. Wirenius visits the podcast to discuss his new biography of the clergyman and curator of the macabre. The book includes a chapter on Dark Shadows, (super)naturally. Along the way, John talks about his fandom for Dark Shadows and touches upon Summers' influence on Gothic cinema and television.

In addition, Robert shares his memories of attending many Dark Shadows Festivals and ShadowCons. Other topics include teen magazines, visiting the old DS studio, attending the Paley Center DS Reunion event, and more!
