Explores the cultural, industrial, formal, and generic contexts of the television soap opera Dark Shadows as a precursor to today's popular gothic media franchises. While supernatural events have become fairly commonplace on daytime television in recent decades, Dark Shadows, which aired on ABC between 1966 and 1971, pioneered this format when it blended the vampires, werewolves, warlocks, and witches of fictional Collinsport, Maine, with standard soap opera fare like alcoholism, jealousy, and tangled love. In this volume, author Harry M. Benshoff examines Dark Shadows, both during its initial run and as an enduring cult phenomenon, to prove that the show was an important precursor--or even progenitor--of today's phenomenally popular gothic and fantasy media franchises like Twilight, Harry Potter, and True Blood. Benshoff demonstrates that viewers of all ages responded to the haunted world of Dark Shadows, making unlikely stars out of the show's iconic characters--reluctant vampire Barnabas Collins, playboy werewolf Quentin Collins, vengeful witch Angelique DuVal, and vampire hunter Dr. Julia Hoffman. Benshoff explores the cultural and industrial contexts of the mid-1960s that gave rise to Dark Shadows and how the show adapted nineteenth-century gothic novels and twentieth-century horror films into a televised serial format. Benshoff also examines the unique aspects of the show's casting and performance modes, its allure as a camp cult text, and the function of the show's many secondary and tertiary texts--including novels, records, games, comic books, and the two feature films, House of Dark Shadows (1970) and Night of Dark Shadows (1971). In the years since its cancellation, Dark Shadows' enduring popularity has led to a prime-time NBC remake in the early 1990s, recent talk of a Tim Burton and Johnny Depp feature film, and a popular ongoing fan convention. Benshoff's timely study of Dark Shadows will appeal to fans of the show and all film and television history scholars who are interested in the roots of one of today's most popular genres.

DARK SHADOWS MEMORIES is a colorful, picture-packed tribute to the legendary 1966 - 1971 Gothic ABC-TV daytime series Dark Shadows, that starred Jonathan Frid as tormented vampire Barnabas Collins. Launched June 27, 1966 by series creator Dan Curtis as a Gothic romance evoking the gloomy, storm-tossed milieu of the Brontë sisters, and later evolving into a supernatural blend of vampires, witches, leviathans, time travel and parallel universes, Dark Shadows was radically unlike any daytime soap.
The award-winning auteur producer-director Dan Curtis made television history with the epic miniseries The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, the horror movies The Night Stalker and Trilogy of Terror, and the cult-classic Gothic serial Dark Shadows. Curtis also generated a large body of work in the mystery genre. This book provides an overview of Dan Curtis's 40-year-long career, as well as an examination of 15 mysteries and crime dramas that Curtis produced, co-wrote, and/or directed, including Dead of Night: A Darkness at Blaisedon; Melvin Purvis, G-Man; The Kansas City Massacre; The Great Ice Rip-Off; Come Die with Me; and the UFO miniseries Intruders. Also included is information about more than 15 Dan Curtis productions that were planned but never produced. House of Dan Curtis features 73 photographs and a foreword by John Karlen, the Emmy Award-winning actor who co-starred on Dark Shadows and in 13 other projects from the production house of Dan Curtis.
