if I had a nickel for every time i obsessed over a piece of media where a character was gravely injured and experimented on by a government funded entity and thus gained superhuman abilities and a cool jacket, i'd have two nickels
which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

David Hennessy in early eps of Dark Shadows is not just doing the best creepy troubled child act I've ever seen, he's doing the most natural creepy troubled child act I've ever seen. There are three other kid actors who eventually turn up in this show and they do creepy or troubled very well, but nothing like this.
He's barely even acting, he's just existing as his character. Incredible.

My name is Victoria Winters. My journey is beginning. A journey that I hope will open the doors of life to me and link my past with my future. A journey that will bring me to a strange and dark place, to the edge of the sea, high atop Widows' Hill. A house called Collinwood, a world I've never known, with people I've never met. People who tonight are still only shadows in my mind, but who will soon fill the days and nights of my tomorrows....
(DS 001, June 27, 1966)
happy Dark Shadows day! it's fun to think about how different the show was when it premiered compared to what it then became once it had gained massive popularity.

Speculation: Bullet Farmer Recast
As of the time of this writing, we don't know who will be playing the Bullet Farmer in "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga." We don't have hard confirmation that the character will even appear, but since we're seeing a younger Joe and a location that could be the Bullet Farm, I think it's reasonable to speculate that our dearly beloved bandolier-clad warlord could return. And speculation can be fun, so let's dive in.
Who would be playing the Bullet Farmer? Glancing at the cast list on IMDB and some leaked photos, something stood out to me. I think it's possible that David Collins is our new Kalashnikov.
Let's start with some basics. Collins is a 54-year-old Australian comedian. Richard Carter, the OG Bullet Farmer, also had a background in comedy. (Hoping this means we get some more deadpan snarking and hammy moments in the film.) Also, Collins' facial structure is vaguely similar.
A degree of likeness is no guarantee, of course. However, there are some leaked set photos and social media posts that have me wondering about the nature of Collins' character. Mad Max Bible, a fairly reliable source for leaks, has speculated that Collins could be playing the Farmer. (Again, just speculation.)
Let's see how Collins will look in the movie.
These are images he posted on Instagram. Seems like his character will have long-ish hair and a beard. Not very Kalashnikov, so who knows. Now let's look at some leaked set photos.
Interesting goggles, wish we could see them better. Here's another look.
...Interesting headgear. The headgear, goggles, and overall outfit are kind of giving Kalashnikov. Kind of like a stripped-down, bullet-free version of his usual look, with the baggy combat fatigues seen below all those bandoliers.
It's also worth noting that Collins was flown to the set along with Matuse Paz and CJ Bloomfield, two guys who would look fantastic as Bullet Farm imperators. These three seem to be hanging out a fair bit, based on what Collins has on his Insta page.
And again, it's entirely possible that we haven't seen the Bullet Farmer yet. Or that the character won't be in the film. Collins could be playing someone completely unrelated. But hey, no harm in speculating, especially if we acknowledge we're just taking shots in the dark. Pun intended.

Episode 473: And that's all I want to say.
Dark Shadows‘ first supernatural menace was undead blonde witch Laura Murdoch Collins, estranged wife of sarcastic dandy Roger. Laura was on the show from December 1966 to March of 1967. During that time, Laura tried to rebuild her relationship with her son by Roger, strange and troubled boy David. David’s well-meaning governess Vicki at first encouraged her charge to go to his mother, but…
