The 2000 Dark Shadows Festival was held on the weekend of August 17, 18 and 19 at the Anaheim Marriott hotel in California, a debut location for a Dark Shadows event. Though perhaps a smaller event than seen in recent years, it succeeded in drawing many new fans to the fold, with a large proportion of attendees having apparently never attended a Dark Shadows convention before.

The weekend's guests were David Selby, Kathryn Leigh Scott, John Karlen, Marie Wallace, Dennis Patrick, Robert Rodan, Chris Pennock and Roger Davis.

Other highlights included John Karlen and Kathryn Leigh Scott taking to the stage to perform the touching two-person play Luv, along with David Henesy's mother, Jeanne Avery, giving a talk about her son's time on Dark Shadows and beyond.

Darren Gross unveiled more recovered footage from Night of Dark Shadows, including the stunning piano room flashback, completely excised from the film's theatrical release.

Actress Marie Wallace has graciously provided the site with a few of her Festival photographs, which can be seen below. To see more of Marie's photography from Dark Shadows events and beyond, visit her website at www.mariewallace.com · Click on the thumbnail images to see a larger version
