"Dark Shadows" is one of the finest examples of classic television that one can find. Acting that was sometimes a bit hammy but always enjoyable, special effects that were good but not dominating the show, stories that were always engaging (if not always believable), and little things that happened that kept the series interesting (for example in one episode a house fly comes in and buzzes around Barnabas in a particularly inopportune moment). All that paired with the finest soap opera music of the time.
Truly great! The best time to watch this is late at night with all the lights out. Forget about all the modern shows about zombies, vampires etc....Dark Shadows was the original and still the best! Classic horror story lines adopted to the daytime serial format, all done with the "show must go on" attitude of live-to-tape TV.
