"Evil hovers there, can't you feel it?"

Ah, there are so many many classic lines in Dark Shadows!  Quote above is from the graveyard caretaker, he knows evil is there, yet he doesn't know.  And the sound effects - the heart beat, drumming a siren call, luring poor Willie to his doom.  I remember others from the series, the sound of a gramophone playing an old record.  They loved to do special sounds to signify 'here comes the spooky stuff'!

I can do a whole series on the clothes alone.  Mr. McGuire, Elizabeth's shady friend, and his dark paisley shirt with wool suit coat AND tie.  I don't think I've ever seen a paisley shirt under a suit/tie combo.  If only this episode was in color so I could fully soak in the glory of the spectacle.

Episode 211 (Originally aired on 4/18/67)
Took it easier on legs today, 20 minutes at a 3.0 mph pace.
