The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

    'Dark Shadows' star Kathryn Leigh Scott returns to Collinwood March 12, 2012 Actress and author Kathryn Leigh Scott is remembered by millions of “Dark Shadows” fans as Maggie Evans and Josette DuPrés, the doomed fiancée of vampire Barnabas Collins. In its heyday, the original “Dark Shadow”s daytime series (ABC-TV, 1966-1971) attracted 20 million viewers. The spooky, literate, romance and horror-driven show had universal appeal —and came to be known as the program “kids ran home from school Courtesy Amazon to watch.” Jim Dixon Fanboys Examiner | Follow: View all 4 photos Related Photo: She and Jim Pierson have previously collaborated on five top-selling books about Dark Shadows and a coffee table book about the career of its creator, the late producer-director Dan Curtis. Their latest collaboration is “Dark Shadows: Return to Collinwood,” an in-depth look at five decades of the classic Gothic horror soap opera that made sympathetic vampire Barnabas Collins a pop culture phenomenon and prompted the big- screen revival starring longtime fan Johnny Depp, directed by Tim Burton.

The house is located near the town of CollinsportMaine, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Almost every resident of the town is too scared to even drive by the house due to rumors and legends. The house has more than 40 rooms, most of which are closed off due to lack of inhabitants and House of Dark Shadows reasons, and more than a few secret passageways, including a room that is a gateway to a parallel timeline, a stairway through time, and one room that appears to be a playroom to some, and nothing more than a linen closet to others. Most of the household activity is centered in the drawing room and foyer and sometimes the kitchen, dining room, and study. Collinwood has, throughout its history, seemed to upset and anger its inhabitants and anyone else who is unfortunate enough to step over the threshold and through the enormous oak front doors. It has been the scene of much death, random violence, and other such misfortune. Most local people find it easier to just avoid it and the Collins family altogether. The following rooms appeared on-screen House of Dark Shadows the run of the original series:.

  • The Great Old Ones and the Collins Family
    The Great Old Ones and the Collins Family By Frank Schildiner With special thanks to Rick Lai for his work on the Leviathan/Yig Cult and advice since the writing of this article. The television show Dark Shadows presented to viewers a fictionalized account of a family steeped in the world of the occult and the mystical. A more detailed examination of the root cause of the Collins family of Collinsport, Maine presents far deeper connections to the mystic world that often intersects with the Wold Newton Universe. The Collins family moved to the lands later known as Collinsport in 1690. Isaac Collins moved to an unoccupied area known as Frenchman's Bay and claimed the area, later starting a fishing fleet that formed the basis for the Collins family fortune. His brother, Amadeus Collins, arrived a short time later and became involved in local politics, centering in the Bedford community. Amadeus sat as one of three judges, trying and condemning a warlock named Judah Zachery. This would be the root cause for the Collins family's becoming one of the foremost family's in the world of the occult. Judah Zachery was a powerful and feared warlock who was the leader of a hidden coven that secretly worshipped the legendary beings known as the Old Ones. Under the guise of Satanic worship, Zachery created a false coven with the intention of using these followers as sacrifices to the Old Ones. But the true coven was smaller and far more dedicated to the true goals. Who were these followers? Research has revealed Judah Zachery's circle consisted of himself and three other men known as Joseph Curwen, Simon Orne and Edward Hutchinson.

  • LYCANTHROPEDIA: Zoo's Who in the Wold Newton Universe
    LYCANTHROPEDIA Zoo’s Who in the Wold Newton Universe Part 1 – The Talbots by I. R. Schablotski Top / Larry Talbot / The Legacy / The Family / Family Tree / Timeline / Footnotes Of all the anomalies that exist in Heaven or Earth, few are as unbelievable as the shape- shifter. People who can become animals, or half-animals, or even different people, have long been thought of as the stuff of legend and superstition. Acceptance of extraterrestrial intelligence, undead monstrosities, and even extra-dimensional horrors seems to come more easily to many than a belief in genuine lycanthropy [1]. Perhaps it is the fear that anyone, whether a stranger, neighbor, or loved one, may in fact become a horrific beast. Or maybe the notion of a human with transformative properties is too fantastic a concept within the bounds of acknowledged science. There are, however, several documented cases of LMD (Lycanthropic Metamorphic Disorder) [2]. Primary among them are the Beast of Gevaudan that terrorized Auvergne, France in the Eighteenth Century [3], and the many accused werewolves of the Inquisition, some of whom willingly (sans torture) claimed to be shape-changing lycanthropes themselves, such as Peter Stumpf and Gilles Garnier [4]. The venerated Dutch monster hunter Abraham van Helsing acknowledged the existence of were-wolves in his 1898 manual A Field Guide to Monsters, though he believed them to be undead creatures akin to the vampire [5]. Those familiar with the Wold Newton meteor strike of 1795 [6] should already be aware of a few examples of more recent lycanthropes crossing paths with meteor-mutated families and other notable figures of importance.

  • 1 'Last Night I Dreamt I Went to Collinwood Again': Vampire
    ‘Last night I dreamt I went to Collinwood again’: Vampire adaptation and reincarnation romance in Dark Shadows Catherine Spooner, Lancaster University Abstract Tim Burton’s 2012 film adaptation of the television soap opera Dark Shadows (1966– 71) was controversial with fans, who saw it as failing to capture what they loved about the original. This article explores the gothic properties of doubling and repetition in the 1966–71 series and the ways in which they both pre-empt the discourses of adaptation and destabilize the notion of an ‘original’ text from which the adaptation departs. It argues that the reincarnation romance plot, in which an immortal being seeks to find the reincarnation of his or her lost love, extends the vampire/adaptation metaphor in significant new ways. The reincarnation romance also offers a useful model for understanding the adaptation of cult texts, as fans enact their own ‘reincarnation romance’ with the object of their passion. As such, it illuminates the responses of critics and fans to Burton’s film and the broader problems of adapting cult texts. If the television vampire has, until very recently, been overlooked in favour of its cinematic variants, then the case of Dark Shadows reveals the value judgements informing this oversight and restores the television vampire to its full significance. Keywords vampire Dark Shadows gothic 1 double romance adaptation cult television Tim Burton In 2012, Warner Brothers released Dark Shadows, an adaptation of the gothic soap opera created and produced by Dan Curtis and screened on ABC between 27 June 1966 and 2 April 1971.
