  2. My friends and I have made movies most our lives. "The Campaign of Barnabas Collins" concerning America's favorite vampire's run for Lewistown County Commissioner, was one of our most successful, although the final cut did not include this Egyptian dream sequence. 1980s. #darkshadows #barnabascollins #countycommissioner #lewistown #mifflincounty #watercolor #artwork #art #arting #artist #pencil #pencildrawing #egypt #egyptian #homemovies #makingmovies #super8 #super8mm #reg8 #reg8mm

  7. My friends and I have made movies most our lives. "The Campaign of Barnabas Collins" had our favorite vampire running for County Commissioner here in Lewistown, and featured Juniata County's Wilson Mansion, now the Juniata Valley Winery, as Collinwood. 1985. #barnabas #barnabascollins #vampire #darkshadows #tvsoap #soap #occultsoap #occultsoaps #strangeparadise #passions #1980s #1960s #collinwood #newengland #juniatavalleywinery #wilsonmansion #juniatacounty #mifflincounty #lewistown

  8. Any Dark Shadows fans here?👀🧛
    (the late 60s original)

    Just discovered it last week while watching the Buffy DVD featurettes and have been binging the hell out of it! Jonathan Frid is so damn good... hell! The entire cast is!! How come have I never heard of this show before?

  9. The Mummy (1932) is basically Dracula (1931) in Egypt, with the added twist that the damsel in distress is the reincarnation of the Mummy's long-dead love. Dan Curtis would use this trope with Barnabas Collins on Dark Shadows and then come full circle and use it again in his Bram Stoker's Dracula (1974).

  10. I love everything about the vintage soap "Strange Paradise," created as a rival to "Dark Shadows"--including that the lead, Colin Fox, resembles my childhood friend, David Guthrie. 1969--1970. #strangeparadise #soap #soaps #occultsoap #darkshadows #canada #canadian #drama

  11. The crowning of the winner of the Miss American Vampire regional competition by Jonathan Frid who played Barnaby Collins on Dark Shadows. The contest was held at Palisades Amusement Park in New Jersey in September 1970. The winner won a walk on role on Dark Shadows as a barmaid

  12. Kate Jackson #BOTD with David Selby in NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS (1971).

    Dan Curtis’ second DARK SHADOWS movie celebrates its 55th anniversary next year. Here’s hoping we finally see the long-gestating director’s cut.

  13. Lara Parker (1938-2023) born on this date.

    As Angelique on DARK SHADOWS, she was the chief tormentor (and true love) of vampire Barnabas Collins.

    Her chemistry w/ star Jonathan Frid is a key component of the show's enduring appeal. And Frid sensed it in her audition, giving her tips that helped win the role.

  14. NEVER TOO YOUNG premiered on ABC on this date in 1965.

    Tony Dow (LEAVE IT TO BEAVER) starred in this teen-oriented daytime soap set at the beach, which flopped in the ratings.

    It was replaced by DARK SHADOWS, which wasn’t made for teens, but became a phenomenon w/ young viewers.

  15. Started watching DARK SHADOWS from its very beginning on a whim, and I confess I might not be able to stay the course for 1,225 episodes’ worth of this stuff. In some respects it’s cozy and comforting with its minuscule sets and homemade low-budget aesthetic. But, like all soap operas, it advances the plot a millimeter per installment. Maybe I’ll stick it out til the werewolves appear. #1960s #DarkShadows #Gothic #SoapOpera #TV

  16. Jonathan Frid made his debut as vampire Barnabas Collins #OTD in 1967.

    The Emmy-nominated documentary DARK SHADOWS AND BEYOND — THE JONATHAN FRID STORY tells the story of how a Shakespearean actor became a pop culture icon.

    It’s on Tubi (and I’m in it):

  17. Tonight in 1991 — DARK SHADOWS debuted on NBC.

    Ben Cross, Joanna Going and Lysette Anthony star in this underrated reboot from Dan Curtis, creator of the 1960s original.

    Streaming free on w/ ads on YouTube. Start w/ episode 5, which begins the vampire origin story.

  21. One of Deephole Productions' most successful films of the 1980s was "THE CAMPAIGN OF BARNABAS COLLINS" in which America's favorite vampire runs for Mifflin County Commissioner. "There are worse things one can be in Mifflin County . . . than a Vampire." #DarkShadows #classictv #classictelevision #occult #horror #1960s #1980s #mifflincounty #mifflincountypa

  22. I understand and appreciate why attitudes to beauty pageants have changed over the years, but I wish we could have kept Miss Ghost America and Miss American Vampire. Okay, these events were held to promote a couple of Dark Shadows spin-off movies, but they really should have stayed a thing. And why confine them to America, how about Miss Ghost World or Miss World Vampire (though I suppose Transylvania would be a shoo-in for that last one).

  23. “Don't let anybody tell you it can't be done. I did it. You can, too." — Lela Swift (1919–2015) #BornOnThisDay

    She rose from the CBS secretarial pool to become a groundbreaking director of 1950s live TV, then iconic soaps like DARK SHADOWS and RYAN’S HOPE (for which she won 3 Emmys).

  24. Tonight in 1972 — THE NIGHT STALKER debuted on ABC.

    Produced by #DarkShadows mastermind Dan Curtis and directed by John Llewellyn Moxey, this TV movie introduced Darren McGavin as reporter Carl Kolchak.

  25. #RobertGerringer (1926-1989) was born on this day.

    He was a familiar face on soap operas like THE EDGE OF NIGHT, TEXAS and GUIDING LIGHT.

    But he’s best remembered for #DarkShadows, where he lost his job because he wouldn't cross the picket line of a NABET technician’s strike.

  26. Today in 1976 — The daytime #SoapOpera SOMERSET ended its 6 1/2 year run on NBC.

    The first #AnotherWorld spinoff was written (for 2 1/2 years) by mystery writer #HenrySlesar, who did double duty writing #TheEdgeOfNight. (Both were produced by Procter & Gamble).

    After SOMERSET, star #JoelCrothers joined the cast of EDGE!
