Back To Index Dark Shadows
 Barnes & Noble Long before Buffy the Vampire Slayer brought bloodsucking to prime time, daytime TV had a vampire legend of its own: Barnabas Collins, the 175-year-old, angst-ridden vampire who made Dark Shadows the subject of a considerable cult following. The program, which debuted on ABC in 1966 and ran for five years, blended gothic mystery and supernatural intrigue, bringing elements to the soap opera format that would remain mostly dormant until Passions appeared on NBC in 1999. Although ratings initially flagged for the show, which relied on traditional romance-centric plotlines, series creator Dan Curtis introduced Barnabas Collins (a marvelous Jonathan Frid) in 1967 and steered Dark Shadows into the supernatural realm, where it found its stride. Soon, a steady stream of witches, werewolves, and warlocks helped cement the show’s popularity to the point that a feature film, 1970s House of Dark Shadows, became a no-brainer. This handsome four-DVD set offers 40 uncut episodes from the show’s ABC run and includes interviews with Frid and fellow actors Joan Bennett, Kathyrn Leigh Scott, Louis Edmonds, and many others. For anyone who’s ever felt that pleasingly terrifying tingle down the spine from a creaking coffin or a howling wolf, Dark Shadows is a must-see, a nostalgic trip with the granddaddy of TV goth.
