Shadows on the Wall: An Online Dark Shadows Fanzine

Dark Shadows (1966-1971) was a soap opera with an emphasis on the supernatural that has garnered a cult following in the years since it left the air. The introduction of Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid) catapulted the series to enormous success, capturing the public's imagination in a way that continues to endure today. This online fanzine will provide a place for rare photos, articles, stories, artwork, and other multimedia as a tribute to the magic and mystery that is Dark Shadows.

More Selby

David Selby goodness. I spoke with him once on the phone out of the blue; I was a grad student working on my PhD at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, David's alma mater and we were trying to gather up famous alum to come and speak at a 40th anniversary theatre department gala thingie. I happened to be by the phone when Selby called to say he wouldn't be able to make it after all. I TOTALLY kept it together, but I might have squealed a bit after I hung up. I also managed to to say nothing about Dark Shadows, nor did I mention that we had actually met before (a few times) at various DS conventions. Because I keep my inner geek on a short leash (said the guy who runs a DS fanzine blog).

Anyway: David Selby, ladies and gentlemen!
