Terror at Collinwood Episode 111: The Dark Shadows Files, Superman, and More! with Edward Gross

Edward Gross is a writer and veteran entertainment journalist who has written books and articles on film, television, and comic books since the mid-1980s. There was a dearth of new “mainstream” Dark Shadows material available in the 80s, but Ed came to the rescue with the Dark Shadows Files magazine series. He visits the podcast to discuss his lifelong fandom for DS and these memorable Files publications, which included his interviews with many DS cast and crew members such as Jonathan Frid, Grayson & Sam Hall, Art Wallace, Ron Sproat and more. In addition, we take a fun side-trip into Ed’s longtime enthusiasm for Superman. Other topics include: Willard, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, whether there should be a new Dark Shadows, and more!
