Oh Wow! Thanks for posting, I did not even know about this-I used to watch the TV show everyday when I came home from school & nobody's going to do it better than DEPP. (Wonder if he'll get Keith Richards in on this one :))

I remember the daytime TV drama ..Dark Shadows..is this based on the same theme?


Yes,it is. AMC had it on 2 years ago as in a rerun and I watched most before it got cut off..then Chiller picked it up. I would have loved this show if it had been on while I was growing up. My grandmother loved this tv show as did my aunt & mom. I guess it ended due to alot of pressure that kids were practicing witchcraft (lol) wow. Harry Potter nowadays an they were worried about 'witches' and 'vampires' then!
You can get the entire show on dvd!

I only watched it a few times and that was way back in the 60's when it first came out and I was a stay at home mom. I remember it as being especially unique then; not because of the content, as there were lots of movies out about vampires, etc.: but because it was a semi-horror soap. And soaps were usually all about romances, domestic struggles, and love tri-angles, crisis, etc. (just as now) back then. I think it might have been in color; but we had a b/w set then as did most young couples just starting out. Joan Bennett, a Hollywood movie star in the 30's and 40's, e.g. the original Little Women with Kathyrn Hepburn, was the female lead. Soaps and some dramas were filmed and shown "live" then, not pre-recorded. She kept forgetting her lines which sort of messed things up; but she was the best known star on the show; so they kept her on there. I went to work days and so lost track; but I think it got much better after I signed off.

I heard the reason that the re-make on NBC in the 90's didn't make it past one season is because it got lost in the shuffle when the first Iraq war broke out. Everybody focused on the war and lost interest in t.v. shows like this one. I think my two favorite shows back then were Dark Shadows and American Gothic.

your kidding! it was done live??? how weird!

Weird?? Most dramas like that were done live. We didn't have VHS's back then either. Another one was "Playhouse 90" which was also live every week. Also the quiz shows were live. Some shows like Dragnet were premade films though. We thought it was all great. Remember TV hadn't been around very long and most in my generation had listened to radio shows before the advent of TV in homes. (1950's) Hey, I saw Elvis Presley live on the Ed Sullivan Show. He was just starting out then. :clap:
