Current Talk '04 I / Re:How & when you discovered Dark Shadows

I found out about it the Summer I turned 10. It was the last year my Mom hired a babysitter to be with my sister and me (she's a year younger than me) during the day in the Summer. Judy was a teenager in high school and was obsessed with DS. She told us stories about Barnabas and Angelique and drew a very clever copy of Angelique's portrait on a blackboard we had in our basement. I well remember her talking about how beautiful Angelique was... and how evil. I think she also talked about the time when Dr. Hoffman tried to cure Barnabas and he aged.
Judy was only around part of the afternoon, and she left before 4, but after a few days I decided to check out DS. The first episode I saw was from a few days before the current 1968 start point. It was when Sam Evans died and Prof. Stokes kept him from revealing the Dream Curse to Vicki. Next day was Cassandra's exorcism by Trask's ghost and boy, was I hooked! I had never seen anything like this on TV before.
It all happened back in June 1968.
