Excerpt from an LA Times article about Shane ("Lethal Weapon") Black:

Meeting Black, one encounters a man who on different days looks alternately pasty or radiant. Sometimes, his confident aura seems exponentially increased by being in the context of his home, which has been decorated to resemble the '60s gothic soap opera "Dark Shadows."

Though, if I had his money, I might be decorating my house with a DS motif, too.  [wink2]

I think a comprehensive list of well known people who have been and still are fans of "Dark Shadows" would be an astonishing thing.  I'm sure the list is more extensive than most would believe.

(well, assuming you could get them all to ADMIT it!!)  ;)

 Wow that's pretty cool!

  Some other famous folks who are fans of DS include - Johnny Depp, Ann Rice, and Stephen King.
I've also heard Tim Burton and  Quentin Tarantino are DS fans.  There's a pic somewhere of Tarantino holding the Barnabas cane.

Don't forget Ice-T.  The rapper on Law and Order.  He was in the documentry shown at the fest a few years ago that was so talked about.  I'll never forget him saying "Barnabas was a pimp."
