Drak shawdows was a love story for me, I love the wicked Angelique and Barnabas was so disturbed over his Josettes whom I love so much as a little boy. The show was awesome and watched by many in the 1970s.

And, Few Commercials Just before Dark Shadows Music Started to play. My Shock when that was on for a while. 😳. Ladt year? 2022? Lol. ✌️🕊️
I was in first grade when this premiered. I think it was 1965/1966. I’d get home from school around 2pm. My mother didn’t work when I was young, so she’d wait for me to get home to run errands, which I considered “going to town”. I’d wait for her to get ready & watch this in the interim. The scenes never scared me, the subject matter didn’t, but the damn theme music got to me every time. I’d run to my mom’s bedroom door & knock while “encouraging” her to get going; to at least exit her bedroom. Delightfully creepy & effective music. Ever since, I’ve had love/hate relationship with the theremin. By the way, Angelique was my favorite character…..so witchy.
I use to run home at lunch time with my sister to watch dark shadows. I was 10 years old and my sister was 13. I loved this show and am now re watching the series on tv. I never read the books.
my words to all I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL WHO MADE THE SHOW DARK SHADOWS,it will always be in my heart my life part of me,DARK SHADOWS FOREVER AN EVER
Say what one will about the goofy 1980s, at LEAST a presentation like this shows most being interviewed in a level of comfort, wanting who is speaking to be comfortable, as opposed to much later in which we get grueling with entertainers and go all out to make them as uncomfortable and nervous as possible to get a cheap thrill of some kind as if Joey Grecco is out to browbeat a cheater or whatever. Glad to be re exposed to this sense of comfort. Thank you for the upload!
Lucky you. I wished I 'd met this great or actor A & I could been a good friend to him as he allowed me to be his friend by allowing me through pictures & videos of his apartments & homes while he did private reading for his friends. I just miss him so much and I never met him. I'd say that's a hell of a actor who can make you miss someone you never got to meet in your life
This Role Was Made For "Jonathan Frid"...Nobody else could Do The Acting Part Like Jonathan!!God Bless his Soul & His Cast mates Soul's It was His Skills and His Look... Perfection And The Rest of The Actors & Actress's also perfection,Writers,Directors 👌 I was a Huge Fan in the 1970's as a Young Girl/ teen Angelique Was stunning so I watched as a Young Girl,Then Re- Runs in the 70's as a Teen.. Now aged (62) in Jan 2024 Still Have a Facination with this Awesome Show... I ordered In fact D.V.D'S OFF AMAZON IN (2021) IN FACT BECAUSE THE SHOW WAS SO POPULAR ONE NOW CAN STREAM IT ON TV I THINK PEOPLE NOW WHO LIKE ME IN MY YOUNGER YRS IT BRINGS BACK ALOT OF MEMORIES OF RUSHING HOME FROM SCHOOL IN ANTICIPATION OF THE CLIFF HANGER FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY... IT WAS A CULT CLASSIC (CLASS A SHOW) THAT I THINK TRANSCENDS TIME TO EVEN TODAY...
This version sounds like a different mix than the one I have on a white vinyl 45. Either that, or the mastering is different enough that it sounds like an alternate version. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FG9BWzglUCk.html
@@KizzaMe23 the more I compare the two, the more I think that they are totally different takes or maybe even from different sessions. I love this song, though. It’s such a great snapshot of that era.
@@user-kf8wb2cq4f “Character” being the operative word. Like “Real Housewives of …” and how folks talk anout them as though they are (real). It was the portrayal of a character, not a study for “Psychology Today”
@@user-kf8wb2cq4f Sounds like you had a bad experience with a beautiful woman. Sad that now all women, even the fictional ones, have to bear the blame. 😥
🎵 SHADOWS of the NIGHT 🎶Calling me to 🎵return to Collinwood 🏰 🎶 and its numerous incarnations! RIP all the greats. Especially Joan Bennett as ELIZABETH COLLINS STODDARD! 🌹 💐
Louis Edmonds talks of the mistakes...I love the mistakes! The professionalism of the actors when they stumble on a line and keep going is impressive. One episode there was a sudden hammering and some yelling backstage and Victoria didn't miss a line for the distraction and I thought it was hilarious. Watching it now, Barnabus is just starting to turnb into a bat and those effects are a riot!
Watching it now through Prime videos. Im up to the werewolf scenes. I remember watching itcwhen i was 7 or 8 years old in the late 60s and early 70s. Wow, brings back memories.
I am nearly finished watching the ENTIRE run of the series on my own coffin-shape DVD set, and I'd watched a majority of the original broadcasts, way back in the day. Analyzing Miss Bennett, and mainly her character, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, I found this lead (She made her other characters, just a little more "flawed".) character of hers, more credible and with more depth to it, than Lorne Greene's Ben Cartwright, as a Patriarchal/Matriarchal figure. It wouldn't exactly be easy, living with "Liz", but she can be my mother any old day! With that entire viewing of the DVD's nearly complete, I'd been astonished at Clarice Blackburn and her characters. There was a certain resemblance between those, and the kinds of material that the late Margaret Hamilton specialized in. Clarice as Miss Elmira Gulch AND the Wicked Witch? Quite possibly, yes. Many, if not most, of Margaret's other characters were hypocritical "church ladies", with sticks up their backs; those would definitely be Clarice Blackburn material!
My Favorite Television Show. Often great stories, beautiful set-design, excellent sountracking AND the Most Talented Actors.. Who took their careers very seriously.
I began watching this show when it premiered - before entering kindergarten! My mom would draw the family room drapes at my request for ambience. After kindergarten, I detested having to stay in school all day because I would miss half of Dark Shadows. No matter how fast I ran home, fifteen minutes of the story was already in progress. I received the board game for Christmas the year Milton Bradley issued it and used the fangs and the ring to reenact scenes from the show.
I've only just discovered the Dark Shadows TV show and I am completely addicted! It's so nice that the show keeps you on your toes and ran for soooooo long! I have finally found the first episode so I may have to watch it again from the start. I also like how they use the same actors for different characters and even how they seamlessly reintroduce the same character into different spaces in time.
I used to come home every day after school to the old black and white TV upstairs to watch Dark Shadows. I wasn't supposed to watch it because it gave me nightmares, but I couldn't help it, I was addicted! When the scary scenes came on I would peek through my fingers. Years later I watched late one night and it was kind of funny. Props that looked like they would weigh thousands of pounds would wobble when an actress accidently walked to close, sometimes people had problems remembering their lines and I suspect one person on the set had a drinking problem. I still loved it though and still do!
It is interesting that Katherine Leigh Scott mentioned in this great film review of "Dark Shadows" (including interviews with the cast members) that it got very confusing for fans of the show and for the actors and actresses themselves, as to the time period the characters were in during certain stories in the show because the show used the parallel time feature so often (really too often). A well-know anecdote about the show is that there were times during "Dark Shadows" original broadcast run when the producers or writers of the show had to resort to inviting fans standing outside the ABC tv studios in NYC to come into the studio to help the production crew figure out if a character would know something from a previous time period or if a particular line of dialogue or an action by a character was accurate in terms of continuity, etc.
What a beautiful woman Katherine Leigh Scott was not only on "Dark Shadows" in the 1960's, but also into the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's! She still looks beautiful now all these many years later and seems to be a wonderfully nice person as was Jonathan Frid.
I, too, like many others would race home after school as a youngster to watch ‘Dark Shadows’. My young friends and I would play out our own stories from the show in the twilight of the evenings in the rural Midwest.
Obviously, the Dark Shadows has become part of Camp Culture Cult ! I remember it vaguely as a child in the 70s, not quite understanding it, now I can see why folks are hooked on it !
I was in love with Jonathan Frid when I was a kid...Would have loved to have met him...Dark Shadows was so good you felt like you wanted to be there they did so good ❤ A forever fan ❤
