Buzzing through the early "Resurrection of Barnabas" episodes on Hulu (and not allowing myself to fast forward). Just reached the color episodes, and I'm particularly struck by the dynamic between Grayson Hall and Jonathan Frid, especially this early in the relationship of their characters, and how the cure goes down. I've discovered that I almost prefer the cruel, cold, conflicted Barnabas who spars with "Dr. Hoffman" more than the savior we see near the end of the series. And Grayson's wig is endlessly fascinating; I hope she and Lara Parker had a ritual burning after it was established that Cassandra had left the show permanently.
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.
