Melodramatic Facts About Dark Shadows To Read By The Light Of The Moon

I didn't have a chance to check everything out, so I'll be curious to hear if all their facts actually are facts...

There wasn't anything new to me there. They also managed to make a few mistakes. After getting the name Barnabas correct almost entirely throughout the article we find in a subheading that "Johnny Depp Became BarnabUs Collins."

They also moved the cast to New York to do the movie. I guess they thought it was produced in LA?

A still from HODS is used to illustrate the section on NODS.

It was fun to read though. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for posting this. Lots of information that is commonly known in the fandom, but still nice to read through anyway. Some of the things I had actually forgotten so it was a nice reminder of how they worked on a shoestring budget and managed to create something that became a cult classic.

One thing I didn't know was that Frid openly criticized the show, or at least his acting and the writing, while the show was still on the air. I wonder how THAT went over with those behind the scenes.
