Thank God for Netfix!
I get to be a kid again thanks to Netflix, and their extensive library of titles, which just happens to include a show that when I was a little kid would scare the CRAP out of me…DARK SHADOWS
Dark Shadows, with it’s mix of Romance, Mystery ( well at least at the time for me there was Mystery ), and of course…Gothic Horror, which of course included your usual Witches, Warlocks, Zombies, Ghosts, Gypsies..and one show stealing Vampire who would become the most important character on Dark Shadows…
Barnabas Collins..The Vampire Everyone Loved To Hate!
Barnabas, played by Jonathan Frid, totally changed the complexion of the show, and gave Vampirism a good name!
And better than thirty years later ( nothing like dating yourself Lew ) my wife and I get to enjoy this great ( if not a bit campy to us now ) soap opera, and I get to live my childhood all over again.
And if you are a Dark Shadows fan, here are a few links to sites that might interest you…go a head and click em…you know you want to!
