Master of Dark Shadows

In 1967, with the modern gothic soap opera he’d pitched to ABC getting tepid response, TV producer Dan Curtis upped the ante with the introduction of a centuries-old vampire...allowing "Dark Shadows" and Barnabas Collins to become fan favorites of the day and cultural icons since. Curtis’ remarkable career and contributions, from Collinwood’s heyday to his acclaimed Herman Wouk adaptations, are covered in this documentary appreciation featuring family, fans, and collaborators. 92 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
