Anyone who follows this blog knows I'm fairly obsessed with the old age makeup on Dark Shadows, but with Dick Smith's work in particular. As Danny Horn points out frequently in his blog, Dark Shadows Every Day, one of the charms of the series is how often, as a viewer, you find yourself saying, "I can't believe they just did that!" or "Didn't see that one coming." (I should take this moment to mention that I am hopelessly addicted to Mr. Horn's blog; the days he doesn't post, I die a little, for serious.)
Enjoy some examples of the fabulousness of Dick Smith:
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.
