My whole family were huge Dark Shadows fans. Especially my dad. When he went on vacation we had to promise him to take notes and report on every episode while he was away. Dark Shadows was on every weekday afternoon at 4PM and we watched it every day after school!

By the time I got home from school, I'd only get to see the final 10 minutes of it, I sure wish there had been a vcr available back then.

I never watched the show as a kid, but a whole bunch of my friends did. I was never fascinated with vampires... I still don't see what the fascination is with them.

I suppose from the standpoint of Hollywood, his death couldn't have come at a better time. The producers of the movie probably think "man, you can't write this script any better".

Kind of amazing that he passed away just as this movie was coming out though...after all those years.. the show ran from 1966-71
