Thanks for the tip. I've never seen it. I've also never seen much of the original series, but what I saw I liked. Now I have to look into watching the original series. As if I didn't have enough to watch. Thanks a lot AHD!

Actually, though, "Dark Shadows" is fodder for way too many fond memories for me (in original incarnation, reruns, and the early '90s remake) I'm prejudiced... but the original series nonetheless is creaky and weak.   The OUT OF PRINT film HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS is fast-paced and even wonderfully early '70s creepy.  It was available on VHS (I own it) but it's not yet been released on dvd!  Unbelievable, yes, BUT DAN CURTIS died a few years ago and he was always the driving force behind "Dark Shadows".

It's coming on in 14 minutes!!!

I saw this in the theater with my dad when I was about 6 years old.  I think it was the first horror movie I ever saw in a theater.

It's great seeing Johnathan Frid get to play Barnabas as a full fledged Hammer-style vampire. I love the way the local police don't seem to be too terribly surprised to learn there are vampires around and even seem to have wooden stakes and silver bullets already handy.

It had to be confusing to fans of the series since characters who were alive and well on the daily program were killed off and/or vampirized in the movie.

FUN FACT: Frid's 'Old Barnabas' mask was made from the same mold as Dustin Hoffman's 'Old Jack Crabb' mask in LITTLE BIG MAN.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
