I'm on the road (in Lincoln, Nebraska, of all places), but I wanted to take a moment to wish my favorite show a happy 47th birthday! I came on board as a hardcore fan during the show's 25th anniversary. Feels like yesterday, doesn't it?
So excited for year 50!
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.

A Glimpse into 1840
I'll admit it -- not my favorite storyline. Repetitive in many ways -- an obvious retread of the success of the Beth/Quentin/Turn of the Screw story that was so successful in 1968 -- and frequently nonsensical (Edith is dead? Barnabas takes over his own body in the past via the I Ching, Angelique cures the past body, and then he returns with it to the present ... soooooo what about the 1970 body?) ... but there are some interesting performances, particularly from stalwarts Grayson Hall and Lara Parker.
And headless bodies freak me out no matter what.
