Shadows Dark
Never saw it, a little before my time I guess. I haven't seen the 1991 version either. This is the synopsis:
QUOTE (Wikipedia)Dark Shadows is a Gothic soap opera that originally aired weekdays on the ABC television network, from June 27, 1966 to April 2, 1971. The show was created by Dan Curtis, who tells of a dream he had in which a girl takes a long train ride to visit a large mansion. [..] The series became hugely popular when, a year into its run, vampire Barnabas Collins, played by Jonathan Frid, appeared. In addition to vampires, Dark Shadows featured werewolves, ghosts, zombies, man-made monsters, witches, warlocks, time travel (both into the past and into the future), and a parallel universe.
Seems like an Adams family feel mixed with Twilight Zone but without any of the comedy.
Rather off topic, but...
I did not know you were into Gothic kind of things. You should check out the Studies of Paranormal / Mystics Board and Lazarus MMORPG.

Great photo of the original cast, thanks JB. All episodes of the Dark Shadows revival are on the Internet for free including the pilot episode. I have the original series on DVD and I am re-watching the entire series. I'm up to episode 610, a little over half way.

Name: Fargo
Comments: A lot of the actors brought into Dark Shadows had an underlying purpose. Take for instance the Quentin Collins' character who was added just so Jonathan Frid didn't have to do so much scenes with his character.

Yes I have heard that. It even went beyond that. One writer was giving Frid too many lines. He was warned and then fired when he did it again. The show was a living and evolving thing. Seeing them try to recoup from mistakes because of the semi-live nature of the show makes it enjoyable on many levels.

Dark Shadows Fact: Maggie Evans married Quentin Collins on the program and thus became Maggie Collins. Kathryn Leigh Scott was a former playboy bunny before joining the cast of Dark Shadows.
