LOL

Otherwise, excellent overview of the series adn comics and the effects it hand on vamps henceforth. Hell, dan even borrowed the reincarnation of long lost love for his own take on Dracula with Jack Palance in ’73, which was later stolen by Coppola and Hart for their Dracula in ’92.

I kept reading and thinking, wow, this guy gets it. Well-written, well-researched and a great read. All modern day vampires owe a huge debt of graditude to Frid’s Barnabas Collins.

I could not have written any better article than this one. I agree with the comments of Patrick who says” encapsulates in single article …how cutting edge Dark Shadows actually was….” How true. I hope that Johnny Depp who I adore does not damage all that life Jonathan Frid put into Barnabas. I love the show and still do. Thanks so much Peter Sanderson!

It encapsulates in a single article things I’d been trying to tell people for years about how cutting edge Dark Shadows actually was and how all of the conscience-stricken vampires to come owed Frid and Barnabas a huge debt.

Thanks!
