Thanks for the suggestion Eric!
A2K - yeah I knew boys liked Angelique but we girls couldn't stand the witch - literally....well fictionally. LOL I hated the way she pronounced her words or pursed her lips, something about the way she talked was like hearing chalk on the blackboard for me.
How about Carolyn - she shook the entire time she was on air. What was up with that? She had the shakiest voice and very, very pale skin. Now she looked like a vampire....LOL!!!!
Oh how I loved that show and all it's crazy and wacky reincarnations, century switching around. I raced home from school for it.

Did anyone know there was a support group for "real" vampires?
Here's their webpage. (No, I'm not a member...)
http://www.sanguinarius.org/
And courtesy of this webpage, (http://www.necronomi.com/users/akrieyta ... .html#sang), is the following:
1. Sanguinarians, or blood-needers. People with an ongoing felt bodily need to drink blood. If they do not have it, they get sick or at least very depressed and/or irritable. Many experience "blood lust," which for some is downright physically painful, and for others is like a "nicotine fit from hell." Unlike the other categories of real-life vampires, sanguinarians do not necessarily manifest psychic abilities, although even sanguinarians are apparently more likely to manifest psychic abilities than the general population.
2. Psychic vampires. People who need to consume other people's "life energy" by psychic means. Psychic vampires may or may not also drink blood. Outside the vampire community, the phrase "psychic vampire" is sometimes used to refer to anyone whom the speaker finds emotionally draining for whatever reason. However, self-described psychic vampires generally mean something much more specific. (See "Feeding and taking energy" on the Psychic Vampires Page.)
3. Blood/psi vamps. Those who crave BOTH blood and pranic energy, apparently comprising the majority of self-described vampires on the web today. Often they experience to two cravings as being to some extent interchangeable. Many regard blood as a physical source of pranic energy. Their experience has given rise to the belief that all blood vamps and psi vamps are essentially the same thing, a belief which, as far as I know, was first articulated on the web by Inanna Arthen on her Real Vampires Home Page.
4. Alleged "immortal" or elder vampires, those who claim an extraordinarily long lifespan. Most are probably posers, but I'm not yet ruling out the possibility that a few of them might be real....
There are also the following categories of people who are generally not considered "vampires" by the vampiric community, but who are to some extent a part of the community. They are categories that overlap heavily with "real vampires," to a greater extent than many like to think.
5. Blood fetishists. People who are obsessively drawn to the idea of blood-drinking and/or bloodletting, but for whom it isn't an outright felt bodily need. Often it is either an erotic turn-on or a preferred expression of intimacy/bonding (not necessarily erotic). Although blood fetishists are generally not considered "vampires" within the vampiric community, blood fetishism does have a long history of being referred to as "vampirism" in psychiatric literature, newspaper articles, and nonfiction vampire books. Some blood fetishists call themselves "vampires" and others do not. Also, it should be noted that people whose interest in blood has an erotic component can be found all along the spectrum of degree of need/desire for blood, not just at the dabbler end, as is commonly believed in the online "vampire community" these days. Among sanguinarians, there are some whose craving has an erotic aspect and others whose doesn't. There is a continuous spectrum, not an absolute division, between blood fetishists and sanguinarians.
6. Nonpersonal energy-hungerers. People who need to consume pranic/nonphysical energy, to a far more noticeable degree than normal people, but who don't need to take it from other people. Nonpersonal energy-hungerers may feed from such sources as the Earth, plant life, thunderstorms, and nonpersonal energy currents such as "God," Reiki, or the energies that can be accessed in magick rituals or Kundalini Yoga. (See my article on Nonpersonal energy sources.) Many psivamps too can feed from nonpersonal sources, but still have a need for people's energy as well. Conversely, nonpersonal energy-hungerers will draw energy from people if they are not getting enough energy from other sources. Thus, it can be hard to tell the difference between a psivamp and an nonpersonal energy-hungerer, especially when newly awakened or not yet fully conscious of one's nature. Even among fully conscious energy-hungerers, some may go through phases of sometimes needing to feed from people and at other times being satisfied with nonpersonal sources. As with sanguinarians vs. blood fetishists, there is a continuous spectrum, rather than an absolute division, between psivamps and nonpersonal energy-hungerers.
7. Vampyre lifestylers. People who incorporate the "Vampyre esthetic" into their daily lives. Some Vampyre lifestylers are also "real vampires," while others are not.

All very, very true, Mary. (As you can see I'm back in my "window of opportunity"--seems the minute I got on again yesterday the cable line fried again...) Carolyn looked like she had Parkinson's from the neck up, and I don't know if you gals noticed it but she was extremely SHORT. I'm not just talking, a short person... but really really tiny. I mean she was barely taller than David when he was just a kid trying to kill his old man by removing the brake cylinder valve.
I also don't know if it's a guy thing, or if you go back to the beginning of the series, but I preferred the "original" Burke Devlin to that wimp who replaced him. Mitch Ryan, although not the pretty faced woos that Anthony George was, at least acted like a MAN, which is why I'm glad that when they made their first trip back into time (and we met voluptuous Angelique!) he wound up playing Jeremiah, who REALLY was a puddin'. I think Ryan would've balked at that role altogether. And didn't they have the contradictions in that show? ROFL... I mean Jeremiah Collins originally was their great grandfather who built Collinwood in the 1830's, and Josette was this pretty little Parisienne who because nobody accepted her jumped off Widow's hill. --Later we find they both died childless and that Josette's lover was Barnabas. Quentin was originally this tall skinny and very MEAN ghost who was out to get the children... and all of a sudden in the back-in-time episodes he's this likeable rogue/black sheep of the family married to --well, to EVE!.. LOL... Okay... I could go on and on and I'll be boring everyone...but I loved Dark Shadows, and when it finally came on the Sci-Fi channel in the early 90's... I taped all 1250 or so episodes (zapping out the commercials of course!)... So now I can watch it whenever I want!
