Guess the Television Show from the Screenshot or GIF Game

Television is as popular, if not more so, than movies these days. This game is long overdue.

Please note, it's okay to repeat shows.

Nope. Wrong coast.

This mansion was the setting for one of the most successful afternoon soap operas. a "Horror themed" soap opera. If you were a fan, you'd know it immediately.

The only "Horror themed" soap opera I've ever heard of is "Dark Shadows", but I've never seen the show, so I have no idea if that pic is from the show.

Correct! The mansion and setting for show is called "Collinwood." The town is one the coast of Maine, called "Collinsport." The Collins family is the big family there, of course.

Your turn.

This is a tough one because I'm probably the only person on this site who's seen this show, but maybe one of you horror fanatics can get it from this famous director who had a guest appearance in one episode.

(I'm sorry for the poor quality of the image, but this show has never been released on VHS, DVD, or any other media, so this is a screenshot from an old VHS recording on YouTube.)

Correct. :up:

"Stark Raving Mad" is one of my all-time favorite TV shows, but nobody else seems to have even heard of it. It's a comedy about a horror writer, and it's on YouTube for free. Those of you who call yourselves horror fans should be ashamed of yourself for not watching it.

I thought the horror fans would have a chance to figure it out if they recognized Wes Craven, but if nobody had guessed it, I was going to give a clue that it was on my list of my Top 25 TV Shows in the recent countdown.
