I recently had another opportunity to appear on Penny Dreadful's Dark Shadows-themed podcast Terror at Collinwood, this time with fellow guest Steve Shutt. We discussed the novel The Dreamers by Roger Manvell, which served as the inspiration for the Dream Curse storyline, and the similarities and differences between the book and the TV presentation.
Additionally, I briefly revisited research I presented at the 2018 Ann Radcliffe Conference in Providence, RI about "contagious" curse-related stories and movies, of which The Dreamers and the Dream Curse are certainly examples.
I had a blast filming the podcast, and I hope you'll enjoy watching it.
