Dark Shadows aired weekdays on the ABC television network from June 27, 1966, to April 2, 1971. The series chronicled the lives, romances, trials, and tribulations of the wealthy and absolutely psychotic Collins family who lived in Collinsport, Maine where a number of spooky, supernatural occurrences took place.

The show became especially popular after the vampire character Barnabas Collins was introduced ten months into its run. The series also featured all sorts of ghosts, ghouls, witches, werewolves, and zombies while exploring subjects like time travel and parallel universes.

What at one point was a popular Gothic soap opera has now transformed into a cult classic that is still loved by millions of fans today. To honor Dark Shadows' 55th anniversary this year, let's take a moment to pay our respects to the Dark Shadows' actors that are sadly no longer with us. We'll also reveal which of the Dark Shadows cast is still alive.

Is the Dark Shadows Cast Still Alive (Cast Deaths)

[diannen]

How could you leave out Lara Parker who played the witch Angelique.

[theresamiles]

Dark Shadows was my absolute favorite show when I was in grade school. I would race home after school to make sure I didn’t miss an episode that came on at 4pm. My favorites were Barnabas, Quentin, and Dr Julia….

[Vivian_Lundgren]

David Selby as Quentin Collins was my favorite actor on DS which you fail to mention. Even Laura Parker as Angelique the witch who turned Barnabas into a vampire.

[snoopy]

I loved Dark Shadows even now. God bless their souls.

[suziboggus]

I LOVED Johnathon Frid )Barnabus)! He was a terrific actor!

[tammyguessbeckham]

I have loved this show since I was a child. I’m in my 60’s and I’m enjoying it again!

[bobbicolao]

I loved Dark Shadows and used to run home to see it after school!

[fallever]

Nice video. 2 corrections: 1- When you were talking about Katherine Leigh Scott, you showed Alexandra Isles/Molke in several clips. 2- Grayson Hall played Dr. Julia Hoffman (not Holman).

[kathytrimble]

It’s a tie between Victoria and Maggie. Now that I am thinking about it why didn’t you mention Laura Parker and Willy who I think played the husband of Lacy in Cagney and a lacy.

I would rush home from school to watch this show. My younger brother watched it with me and terrified. Jonathan Frid made an appearance at the Devon Horse Show that was just down the street we lived on. It was fun to see him in person.

[vickititus]

I used to rush home after school to watch this. I had a major crush on Quentin and his sideburns

[Controversial_Celebrity_Quotes]

I loved that show as a kid. The theme music at the beginning of each episode had a haunting quality.

[shellyblanchard]

I loved it when they called on Josette collins to tell them when someone was pilloting against them and was going to cause trouble. She would come to their aid and exspose who the culprit was most of the time. She had been dead for over a 100 years but her ghost still lingered around.

[nanasewdear]

It's surprising you didn't mention David Selby, who was the werewolf Quentin Collins or Denise Nickerson who played Amy Jennings and later had a role in Willie Wonka.

[mollyhall]

What happened to Angelique?! She was the favorite of most people that I knew!

[katperson]

My favorite character wasn’t included, although she was more of a major character than some others mentioned. I thought Angelique, played by Lara Parker was wonderful.

[PlayZune]

You forgot to add Kate Jackson who went on to star in "Charlie Angels" and "Scarecrow and Mrs. King."

[mollyhall]

We, as young teens rushing home to watch the first soap opera we had ever found interesting, adored Barnabus, and truly found Quentin to be frightening!

[proudinfidel]

Boy does Dark Shadows bring back memories growing up!! I love it however my mom didn' BIG time as she was very Christian. She wouldn't let me watch it period. Fortunately I was blessed to have my on tv in my room. Unfortunately my mom caught me many times to the point she started noticing the time when it was on. I ended up telling her it was filmed in Maine her favorite state ( of course it wasn't ) but she did agree to watch one show. She got a quarter of a way in and started yelling because she knew Alexandra Isles very well. I was so happy and ended up watching it together. Keep em coming my friend, I love your channel!

[janusloggins]

I loved that show as a kid! I couldn't wait to get home from school and watch it every day.

[rickalexander]

What about David Selby and "Quentin's theme"?
