Dark Shadows: Week 1


Five episodes down, 1,220 to go.

I don't expect I'll have much of a reason to post weekly recaps of my DARK SHADOWS DIARY entries, but there's enough material archived here concerning the show's 1966 debut that's it's worth a moment to reflect on the beginning of the series. Below are links to my posts about the first five episodes of DARK SHADOWS, as well as links to a variety of newspaper and magazine clippings about the show's early days.

DARK SHADOWS DIARY
Episode 1: Welcome to the Beginning and the End of the World
