I watched that when I was a kid after school. It scared of the crap out of me.

My sister and I watched it too. Came on at 3:30. Was so scary. My brother fought us because he wanted to watch Bozo the clown on the only other channel that we got. :)

It was on about 4 PM when I was a teenager, so I got home from school just in time to watch it.

She played nuts a little too well as Angelique on “Dark Shadows.” RIP.

“Lara Parker was my immortal beloved.”

Well, she WAS a Vampire, so she’s still around. ;)

The great thing about her character was that no matter how many times she was killed off she ALWAYS came back.

This thread makes me want to read all of the ‘Vampire Chronicles’ all over again. (Last time I read them was right after High School!)

Might be a good Winter project - I mean it’s dark up here on ‘The Frozen Tundra’ by 3pm or so once we hit December. May as well take full advantage of a roaring fireplace and candlelight.

BOO! :)

I think Lara Parker herself wrote some successful fiction on the subject.
