Marie Maginity, Patrick McCray and Brooke Perrin cornered Christoper Pennock in June during a break at this year's DARK SHADOWS FESTIVAL and chatted with him about his various projects, including comic books, Merchant Ivory, Shakespeare and, of course, his work on DARK SHADOWS.

I know surprisingly little about James Storm. Despite being one of my favorite actors on DARK SHADOWS, I haven't had the opportunity to see much of his work, on or off the stage. Luckily, Marie Maginity, Patrick McCray and Brooke Perrin flagged him down at this year's DARK SHADOWS FESTIVAL and chatted with him about his various projects, including the upcoming WANDERLUST photography trip. It's a terrific interview that touches on his tenure in daytime drama, the difference between DARK SHADOWS and the other soaps operas, Patti Smith, Alan Jackson, violence as entertainment and his love for the state of Montana.

Sharon Smyth Lentz joined the cast of DARK SHADOWS in June 1967, playing the ghost of Sarah Collins, the little sister of vampire Barnabas Collins. In this podcast, she talks about her experiences on the series, her decision to leave acting, and fields a few questions from online fans. It's a fun episode, and hosted by CHS contributor Marie Maginity.

Sharon will be among the guests at the annual DARK SHADOWS FESTIVAL this weekend, and will be apeparing the weekend of July 18 in Greenville, S.C., at MonsterCon.

Actor Humbert Allen Astredo joins the Collinsport Historical Society for a rare interview in this installment of our podcast. Astredo entered the world of DARK SHADOWS with a bang in 1968 as warlock Nicholas Blair. He'd later go on to play the satanic Evan Hanley and Charles Dawson on the show, and had a lenthy career on stage and screen after the program's cancellation. Astredo speaks with Patrick McCray in this episode about using comedy to survive the Korean War, the diffrent perspectives between east coast and west coast acting schools, and how he landed his first role on DARK SHADOWS.

MARIE MAGINITY recently visited actor JOHN KARLEN during his recent stay in a Los Angeles hospital. The Emmy winning actor, known for his work on CAGNEY AND LACEY, as well as the 1971 cult horror film DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS, speaks about his childhood, acting and his experience as henchman/hero Willie Loomis on DARK SHADOWS.

Joe Keatinge, writer of Marvel's new MORBIUS THE LIVING VAMPIRE series, and comics legend Roy Thomas speak about creating - and re-creating - Marvel's first vampire.
