My Mom was really into Dark Shadows in the 60's, and she let me and my brothers watch it. If Barnabas was on, my Mom was glued to the screen. He's still her fave. Our next door neighbors watched it, they had a son who was my age. We went to their house and watched it sometimes. A friend of mine who lived down the street who was younger than me used to come to our house and watch it. I still remember her talking about Quentin to this day. My daughter who is almost 6, watches it with me and my Mom. She doesn't watch it as much as I did though because it comes on when she's at school. She mostly watches the tapes when I put one on. It doesn't have any bad effects on her, she knows it's not real, and that Mommy will be going to a Dark Shadows Festival to see some of the stars again, and one of these years she will too. The only thing I remember that frightened me really bad when I was a child, was this movie called, "Earth Vs. The Fying Saucers". My brother dragged me out of bed late at night, our parents were asleep, and we watched part of this movie until it started scaring me to death. I remember these men in space suits, and at one point they pulled off their helmets and they all had ugly green and black faces. I guess they were martians. They were blowing up buildings and all these terrible things were happening. One guy raised his arm out and fire shot out of his arm and blew up a building, that's when I couldn't take anymore, I went back to bed and was scared to death.
