ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteMe Too!! We had rings like Barnabas, and we picked Josette for our names in French class. :)
DeleteThe series was into it's second year before I even heard about it. Once I started watching, I never missed another episode! I also saw both subsequent movies. I didn't think as much of Night of Dark Shadows as I did House of Dark Shadows.
ReplyDeleteI also liked both Bela Lagosi & Christopher Lee as Dracula, and Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolfman. Who else remembers seeing Michael Landon in "I Was a Teenage Werewolf"?
My sister and I LOVE the show and have collected every original movie as well as the movies, in fact just got up to season 11 disc 4 Quinton arrives,I always wanted to go to the conventions they would of been great.
