I’ve noticed that art is a significant part of Dark Shadows.
Do you think that was expensive for the show?
Why do you think it’s so prominent?
I have a few guesses, but I’m sure other people here have more insight.
Painting probably are used in to show a connection to the past and as an easier visual for the audience.
With a show usually (or always?) shot live to tape it’s easier than putting insert shots in too.
But those are just my guesses. I look forward to reading other thoughts and information.
