Even though it's copyrighted 1968, I didn't hear about the set until late 1970 when an acquaintance that knew I liked DS told me that ViewMaster had put out a set based on the "the Dark Shadows movie" (well, what did they know - they didn't really pay attention to DS). I was excited by that idea, but after I found it in a store that carried all sorts of ViewMaster sets, I wasn't the least bit upset that it actually covered a lot of the late 1968 storyline from the TV show because that was the period when overzealous parents groups in my area had gotten DS moved to 8:30AM () and it was rare when I'd been able to catch it. (I did see the eps when Ang went to tattle on Nicholas, he was summoned before Diabolos, and Ang left Barn to die in the shack.) So I was quite glad that the set filled in a lot of what I'd missed.
