Occult scholar Professor Timothy Eliot Stokes is one of Dark Shadows’ most memorable and popular characters. Highly intelligent and with much esoteric knowledge at his disposal, the Professor is often called upon to help combat the malevolent supernatural forces at Collinwood. In this episode, Chad Byers - aka Chicago horror host Undead Johnny – joins forces with Penny Dreadful to discuss and analyze this fascinating character. Other topics include: a chat about Chad’s Etsy shop Draigenmore Adventures, the potential for DS as a tabletop role-playing game, how Chad discovered DS, and more! SPECIAL BONUS: This episode includes a very rare 1969 interview with Thayer David from the Ron Barry Show. Stick around until the end to listen to it!
