I've obviously missed something because I have no idea what anyone is talking about - except I do have the theme tune on my IPod, which is something, I guess. Mind you, I'm still none the wiser.

[> [> Well, you had to be alive in the 60's but -- Lewis H., 16:32:03 05/02/12 Wed (adsl-74-235-197-173.mco.bellsouth.net/74.235.197.173)

in the mid 60's the very first television show that featured vampires, werewolves, and witches premiered. It was a daytime soap opera called Dark Shadows. Johnathan Frid was the lead, a vampire named Barnabas Collins. For its time (were' talking almost 50 years ago now) it was considered very sexy and many teenage girls I knew (babysitters) rushed home from school to watch every day.
(Actually Quentin Collins, the werewolf, was even more popular.)

Anyway, the current Dark Shadows movie is a comedy and Johnny Depp, as he usually does in his roles looks a bit strange. Purists are a bit upset but many of us think it will be good fun.

I was in Walmart this week and in the $5 bin of
DVD's, there was Dark Shadows - The Haunting of Collinwood.
This release reveals how the children of Collinwood beome
possessed by the ghost of Quentin Collins, and a bonus episode revealing what happened to Quentin before he was a ghost. It ran 210 minutes without pausing in the story so I
didn't revove it from my DVD player for many days.

Cast:
Quentin Collins played by David Selby, and Jonathan Frid had
a smaller part on this DVD.

Other cast members were Joan Bennett, Kathryn Leigh Scott, Grayson Hall, Louis Edmonds, David Henesy, Thayer David and
Denise Nickerson.

I got my $5 worth. (Big smile)

According to the DVD, the show ran from 1966-71. More than
2200 shows. 20 million viewers. Barnabas became a cultural icon.
