Shadows on the Wall: An Online Dark Shadows Fanzine

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.

Previously on Dark Shadows: The Comic Strip Series:

Collinwood in the year 1969 ... Sebastian Shaw has performed an exorcism that destroyed the evil in the great house by sending Angelique back to hell, Barnabas back to 1795, and Quentin to the underworld. And now no one at Collinwood -- including recently returned governess Victoria Winters -- has any memory of the witch, the vampire, and the immortal werewolf. But somehow the phoenix Laura Collins escaped banishment, and now seeks to gain a foothold back in the mortal world. To do this she has possessed Joe Haskell and transformed him into an incubus ... a life-sucking vampire ... just as Joe has discovered true love with handsome Christopher Jennings ...
