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.
These are fascinating, and on a certain level, very whacky. That's an awful file photo of Joan Bennett. I guess whoever worked on the mag (almost certainly 16, I would think) just thought of her as "some old lady." I wonder what the person who wrote that Barnabas killed Tom Jennings by "making him stay up till dawn" was thinking? It was of course no longer true in 1968/69 that Liz had not left the estate in 18 years. Interesting that Laura gets a place, given that, unlike Cassandra, she was NEVER mentioned again in any of the present-day scripts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these! I don't remember them at all, but of course I must have read them way back when.
