Was a super eight print ever made HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS, Based after the ABC TV soap opera? Either in magnetic sound or airline print optical sound? I’m just curious.

I have the trailer on Super 8mm, possibly cut from the reel that Mike mentioned. It's completely pink.Comment

Red Fox tend to be pink or red. Thunderbird is faded most of the time.

Thanks for all the info!. For a while, I actually had a 35 mm copy – – but it was the network copy that had the final bloody demise of Barnabas Collins cut. it was identical to the network airing – – and left the ending incomprehensible! It was like watching the climatic scenes of jaws reduced to three short shots— And did the credits role! I eventually sold it and don’t know what happened to that print. I’m sure it’s all pink now— Metrocolo,r you know!
I also had 16 mm prints of the trailers and TV ads, and I swear they were edited with hacksaws and library paste. I am a retired sound editor, and they didn’t go to the three track DME stems to attempt to make a smooth sounding soundtrack. In all seriousness, I could’ve cut a far better trailer in an afternoon. I have no idea what they were thinking!Comment

Hello All,
Have not posted for a while but follow the Forum daily. It's an indispensable part of this great hobby we all enjoy. Indeed I purchased the S8 abridged print of HODS some time ago. The S8 print seems to have been made by shooting selected segments of the feature with a TeleCine converter likely from a 16mm print. Kodak sound S8 cartridges were used for filming, it appears. So every 2 1/2 minutes or so there a splices. Audio was poor when we received so we remixed and its now what I consider to be in presentable condition. I'm a big fan of the movie and paid i recall over $500 bucks off Ebay.
I'd love to produce a film to film print on S8 for myself but not wanting to do a Digital to S8. This will have to suffice for now.
There's the scoop on this one and I was a bit surprised to see other Shadow fans out there in our S8/16mm world. And incidentally, if anyone has or is aware of a good 16mm print that is potentially available for sale, please contact me. Thank you all.
