Description

In the late 1960s, as the 4:00 PM hour approached on the east coast (3:00 PM Central Time), it wasn't unusual to see kids running home from school, or housewives setting aside their chores, all intent on gathering in their living rooms for a half hour of television magic! DARK SHADOWS, with its vampires, werewolves, and gothic intrigue, changed the landscape of daytime television. The exploits of the Collins family transported a generation of devoted fans into a world of mystery and the supernatural. Today, more than half a century later, DARK SHADOWS still resonates with those who remember the show from its original run, as well as the legions of newer fans who discovered it in the ensuing years.
