Dark Shadows: A Cult Classic

"This series is a wonderful example of type. The caveats are that the viewer must like the subject (vampires and other Gothic stuff)and "old" presentations. It's nice because the language is inoffensive as are the actions of the characters (unless one is offended by the subject-matter, in which case, one isn't watching it anyway). The story is compelling, and one is drawn to the characters. For myself, it was the only "soap opera" I have ever watched - and I did, on a regular basis. I felt deprived if I had to miss an episode, and I taped them all. It is a thoroughly engaging series."
1840 Top Notch

"As the story moves back to 1840, the writing, acting and production all markedly improve to the best they have been on the series thus far, though perhaps not as dearly remembered as the 1795 or 1897 storylines. The disembodied head of Judah Zachary is easily the most disturbing horror element the show has seen. Sadly, episode 1109 is Kathryn Leigh Scott's last."
Classic Soap

"Here is the next dark shadows collection 23 in the 26 collections of this great classic soap on dvd.This soap had everything from going back in time to 1796 where Victora was almost hang for being an witch and yes you go back through time again to see how Quentin became the werewolf. So if you love classic soaps like I do then this is an must for all fans young and old this is not like the soaps of today cause you don't see them in bed together hardly.
