Terror at Collinwood Episode 127: Sy Tomashoff - Dark Shadows by Design book by Patty Karapinar
Scenic Designer Sy Tomashoff was instrumental in creating the look for Dark Shadows. From the Collinwood Foyer and Drawing Room, to the Old House, to the Collins Mausoleum, and the Blue Whale, Sy’s iconic sets and innovative designs were integral to establishing and perpetuating the feel and mood of the series. For the first time, Sy’s career, with a special focus on Dark Shadows, is spotlighted in the upcoming book, Sy Tomashoff: Dark Shadows by Design by Patty Karapinar. Patty, a respected and skilled architect, offers unique insights into Sy Tomashoff’s work in a meticulously researched book that includes blueprints, artwork, photos, and interviews. Join us as we discuss Patty’s process in putting the book together and talk about some of our favorite Dark Shadows sets.
