I had the privilege of meeting Jonathan Frid through a mutual friend, and spent an entire afternoon with him in Ancaster, Ontario. What a wonderful gentleman.

I was one of those kids who ran home from school to watch Dark Shadows!

So interesting how legendary actress Joan Bennett was in it from the very first to the very last episode. Such a classy lady.

When Dark Shadows was on you could not find any kids playing outside we all flocked to the nearest tv. That addiction lasted until the series ended

[fawnebrown]

The theme from Dark Shadows is haunting and one of the most memorable of all time. It truly fit the show.

As a 61 year old man who watched this show faithfully as a young boy I was transported back to my boyhood home sitting in front of the old black and white TV being mesmerized by by the whole storyline. Thank you for loading this.

I am 62 years old, and this makes me want to cry. One of the best, if not THE best Daytime Dramas, ever.

I remember this like it was yesterday. Saying goodbye to the series was like saying goodbye to part of my youth.

[indycurt]

God I loved this series as a kid. I remember racing home from school to watch it. I never missed an episode.

My favorite show at that time s a young boy and then it was gone dad died two months later. Seems like a million years ago now that he was here and the show was on. I seem to think of the time with him whenever I think of Dark Shadows. Miss you dad.

And then... it was over. And afternoons were not quite the same anymore...

I’m 62 and loved this show. I was allowed to watch when home from school- sick. Made it all the better. No computers or nudity, only acting and writing. The theme song……. Erie still.

1:44 - "There was no vampire loose on the great estate. For the first time at Collinwood, the marks on the neck were indeed those of an animal. Melanie soon recovered and went to live in Boston with her beloved Kendrick, there they prospered and had three children. Bramwell and Catherine were soon married and at Flora's insistance, stayed on at Collinwood where Bramwell assumed control of the Collins business interests. Their love became a living legend and for as long as they lived, the dark shadows at Collinwood were but a memory of a distant past."

I recall rushing home from school to catch the broadcast of Dark Shadows at 4 P.M. I loved the show, the characters, and fantasized that I lived in a vast, many-storied, turreted mansion with whole wings that had been sealed off for decades. What a cultural icon that show was!

[susancoleman]

I loved this show, but my grandma told my mom that I shouldn’t be watching this.However when I went to my grandmas after school she started watching it and she was hooked

[cherylsorensen]

Watching this brings back all the heartbreak I felt at age 10 when I looked in the TV paper and saw that instead of my beloved Dark Shadows, Password was on instead.

[kathrynbellerose]

I loved this mysterious world called Collinwood with it’s eerie twists and ghostly turns. I remember being in total shock that the series ended so abruptly. How l still love to step back into that ethereal world that never changes every now and again as l have while watching this video. Thank you for the memories.

I was 14 months when the last episode aired. Started watching Dark Shadows during the beginning of the pandemic and watched the last episode a few days ago. I miss it. CollinWood was my escape during the Corona virus update. 😭
