What are we going to do now??  He was the true "guiding light" of DS, and who will be able to bring DS back in a new version??  I can only hope we can find people to carry DS on, like the Star Trek people after Gene Roddenberry died.  It is so sad, especially right after Norma Curtis' passing.  Kinda like Johnny Cash dying right after June Carter......

I read on one of my DS Yahoogroups that he passed away this morning at 6:15am.  It's sad as his wife died about two weeks ago.

this is such shocking news.

so many members of our d.s. family are no longer with us it's just too sad.

i hope there will be a fitting tribute at the fest.it's a shame he won't see the 40th anniversary of his creation. :(

What an especially sad day for his children.   :'(

Dan Curtis has been an entertainment source for me since I was a little girl - all those great Goth movies, "War and Remembrance"....although "Dark Shadows" has always held the most special place in my heart.

A real pioneer he was.  He will be missed.

Raising a toast of rum to the memory of a master...Godspeed, Dan.

Frankly, I never knew much about the man's personal life.  But I stand in awe of a 54-year-marriage, especially in Hollywood, and the entertainment industry.

What could have been more fitting  than leaving this life virtually hand in hand?

Godspeed indeed.

I'm stunned and so deeply saddened.  I can't even think of anything else to say.
