Sunday August 31 2003 saw a number of past Dark Shadows cast members reunite for a staged reading of Return to Collinwood, a new radio play sequel to the original Dark Shadows. The new hour-long audio drama is written by Jamison Selby (son of David Selby), and joins a number of familiar faces in the present day for the reading of Elizabeth's will. The debut stage performance was held at the Dark Shadows Festival to an enthusiastic audience.

Monday September 1 2003 saw the script committed to tape for commercial release. Return to Collinwood is due out on CD from MPI Home Video in 2004.

Ben Martin is an award-winning photographer and photojournalist responsible for many classic Dark Shadows publicity stills. During the original run of Dark Shadows, Ben dated actress Kathryn Leigh Scott and regularly took photographs at the studio. Ben was on hand to cover Return to Collinwood, and generously shares some of his pictures.
