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 Very Dark Shadows Party!
I love Robert Rodan, still in character as Adam and with a very Adam-esque look on his face, ogling Lara Parker, Don Briscoe, and ... is that Rich Little? Sure. Rich Little.

Don Briscoe, Super Stud
Or maybe he's just a regular stud. Or a vampire stud. Or stud could actually be part of the word "studio"; who knows. No matter; Tom Jennings, vampire love god.

1967: Curing the Vampire
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.
