Additional Details

Other Works:
At the last several "Dark Shadows" conventions, Mr. Karlen has performed in various skits and plays, including two non-DS productions, the 2-character one- act play "Love", and a revival of "The House", an old Art Wallace teleplay which was an early plot source for DS. In the latter, ironically, he played the sinister character, "Walt" later revised for DS as "Jason", which was played on DS by his other great friend, the late Dennis Patrick. He also joined former castmates in reviving their old DS roles for a live, "reader's theater"-style performance of a DS "sequel" entitled "Return to Collinwood", which was afterward recorded on CD as an audio play for sale. more
