My friends and I have made movies most our lives. "The Campaign of Barnabas Collins" had our favorite vampire running for County Commissioner here in Lewistown, and featured Juniata County's Wilson Mansion, now the Juniata Valley Winery, as Collinwood. 1985. #barnabas #barnabascollins #vampire #darkshadows #tvsoap #soap #occultsoap #occultsoaps #strangeparadise #passions #1980s #1960s #collinwood #newengland #juniatavalleywinery #wilsonmansion #juniatacounty #mifflincounty #lewistown

I love everything about the vintage soap "Strange Paradise," created as a rival to "Dark Shadows"--including that the lead, Colin Fox, resembles my childhood friend, David Guthrie. 1969--1970. #strangeparadise #soap #soaps #occultsoap #darkshadows #canada #canadian #drama
