Dark Shadows

When I was a kid, there weren't many things that I enjoyed more than a good scary movie. In fact, most of my friends felt the same. We'd look forward to the weekend to stay up late, turn off all of the lights in the house, and watch Sammy Terry's Nightmare Theater. What could be better than a weekly fix to satisfy our horror craving?

How about a five days a week fix??

Dark Shadows was the first and only soap opera I've ever watched on a regular basis (if you don't count professional wrestling). It told the tale of the Collins family... what a mess they were. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts.... whew! And we ate it up!

Dark Shadows was the must see show of it's time. It spawned a series of novelizations, trading cards, and more. There're annual Dark Shadows conventions that continue to this day!

A new collector's series of Dark Shadows DVDs are going to be released shortly. The price is right, so get your friends together and turn down the lights!
