I Can't Help It : A Dark Shadows Aside

It's happened. GH has become so bad, that the unabashedly campy,blooper filled, bizzare gothic cult favorite web of story arcs,rife with questionable acting choices, (and a few questionable casting choices, though most were quite a match for the concept) and truly cool ambiance is *better* to me now, than GH is.

Go watch either the 1966-1971 original or the sadly short lived 1991 remake. Great stuff.

The witch Angelique makes Helena look like a Sunday school teacher. She does what she wants, and is Hell's perfect fury of a woman scorned. She has an epic revenge (and some being revenged upon), with a lovely liquid laugh at the results of her wickedness.

I always thought she had to have been Helena's tutor in all things badass.



And from a 1994 soap special, a clip and appearance of Lara Parker, Angelique's portrayer, still beautiful. (Perhaps a bit too beautiful? (Mysterous laugh.)

Go to 2:39 in the clip below for the DS goodies.



Rumor has it, Lara Parker may arrive at GH for a brief role.
