Dark Shadows got a shout-out this week from a syndicated article from the Washington Post. Evidently, Jonathan Frid watches Buffy--as observed in this tiny excerpt from a story about James Marsters, who plays a vampire named Spike on the series:
"[Marsters'] mark on the role (of a vampire) was noted recently by none other than Barnabas Collins, that elegant vampire on the '60s soap opera "Dark Shadows."
"I just got an autographed picture of Jonathan Frid," the actor who portrayed Collins, exulted Marsters. "He said, 'You've made it, man!'"
