How sad, although from the dates, he obviously had a long (and hopefully good) life.

I thought of that too...she waited a long time to see her love again.  [hall2_smiley]

Can anyone characterize Sam Hall's writing style, if you had to distinguish it from that of the other DS writers?

Very sad news, indeed.

My condolences to the Hall family.  Mr. Hall was a true wordsmith and, along with his wife, Grayson Hall, contributed tremendously to Dark Shadows' phenomenal success.

Requiem aeternam, Mr. Hall

Matt Hall has posted a longer, more intimate eulogy of his late Father. It's one of the best pieces of writing I have ever read about anyone involved in 20th century theatre and television.  DS isn't mentioned, however.
