Apparently some DS fans are unafraid to admit how they reenacted the show as kids - not even in venues unrelated to DS. Now that the topic that this post comes from has been deleted at soapcentral.com, I can share it here:

"mrspxyz
A lighted candle in the window? Dangerous!!

I watched Dark Shadows after school every day with friends. At one point, we decided to "reenact" some of the scenes at my home (parents at work). And we did use real candles. I got totally busted by leaving them (unlit) atop a furnace."

Sounds like a person after our own hearts.  [ghost_grin]

My friends and I also reenacted various scenes, but not from the show, from the movies with which we were all familiar. I remember just laughing all the way through it, because everyone's kooky nature sprung up during those reenactments!  [laughing1]

I never had any problems with watching Dark Shadows, except maybe that my mind was never on much of anything else when I was smaller and more susceptible to fantasy.

I am still susceptible to fantasy, what is up with that?

If you like DS and want to have a fun  on a Facebook page that is open to all forms of DS and doesn't allow childish behavior like some groups; come on over to DIAESD! You do have to ask to be invited and I will approve you.

Nothing, it's just that we're supposed to have outgrown it! [ghost_rolleyes]

Not on your life.   [ghost_wink]

Like the button says:  "What's the good of being a grownup if you can't be childish"

Seeing as my mom was a DS fan, she had no trouble letting me watch DS, she just saw it as harmless entertainment, in no
way a bad influence. And she went and still goes to church every week.

I'm a Christian myself, and I haven't let DS corrupted me. I enjoy it as it is....escapism. But I'm not surprised that DS even to this day and age still has fanatics who would ban it. I think any show or movie that deals with the supernatural, is gonna have its detractors who will find something religously offensive about it in one way or another. What can you do but shrug and say "Ah, well...".

My mother had no objection to me watching DS. She would sometimes watch it with me and would fill me in on what happened if I missed a day. She did not, however, feel the same way about Soupy Sales.
