What ever happened to Dark Fantasies?

[gialloman]

One of the earliest fetish producers I knew of was called “Dark Fantasies” , like a lot of fetish sites they use to offer 2 versions of their clips (necro or sleepy , depending on the consumer’s taste).

On nicheclips they seem to have 3 stores “Stranglers lounge”, “Sleepy Tales” and “Dark fantasies” I never really understood if the stores were separated because of different ownership or just for the sake of categorizing them.

But a few years ago they were also on “The Progressive Art Project” as “Drop Dead Gorgeous” and on another website called “Sleepyrealm”, again not sure if it’s the same owner.
Sometimes I’ve seen these clips be referred to “Necrobabes” but that confuses me even more since there are also video collections from the stores “Cuddly Necrobabes” and “Necroporn”

Google searches don’t seem to give me any definitive answer, so here are my questions in the hopes that the more veteran and informed members can clarify the situation for me:

1 Are Darkfantasies Necrobabes , Sleepyrealm and Drop Dead Gorgeous the same owner/store?

2 Are they still in business? On one of their nicheclip stores I saw this posted:

“After a long period absent the grandfather of Internet Death Fetish is back. That is correct, Shelby and Dark Fantasies are back with brand new never before seen material and talent” But nothing came of it”

3 What ever happened to the models Gia Divine and Lyssa? They were my absolute fav!!

4 Is there any online store where I can buy their full length dvds and browse their catalogue?

Thanks in advance!

I think Shelby sued necrobabes and lost. Not long after that his site vanished. This stuff is sort of ancient history by now. I liked DF. A lot of their stuff was in VHS but that format is obsolete. They did not do a good job with their dvds, probably transferring VHS to dvd but the quality was low and the result would frequently pixilate and break up. I hope Shelby is still around. The stuff he sold was kind of primitive but the models were good. It would be nice to see that old material from the early days available again.

You can still buy his clips on NicheClips but as was mentioned the video wasn't very good although most of the clips are cheap so you kinda get what you pay for....There is a clip claiming to be new called Shelby's Knife Fantasy but I've never watched it so I cant say whether or not its an improvement
