We used to rush home to my house because I was the closest home to watch it. I had no idea what it was about, was scared stiff to watch it, but loved it. And after it was over I was terrified, LOL.<br /><br />Funny, I was just thinking about this show the other night. I would love to see Tim Burtons version.<br /><br />Jen @ Muddy Boot DreamsRURAL https://www.blogger.com/profile/11871803235521431504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-27102330005795239612012-03-20T04:12:33.516-07:002012-03-20T04:12:33.516-07:00I do remember Dark Shadows, seemed so spooky at th...I do remember Dark Shadows, seemed so spooky at the time.

I so remember curling up with the curtains drawn watching this show at my Gran's house - it was so wonderfully intoxicating..... and now Tim Burton is bringing it to the big screen with his muses Johnny Depp as Barnabus, and I cannot remember the actress for Daphne. I love everything Burton does. I wonder if his wife, Helena Bonham Carter is the actress I am thinking of, as I know she is starring as well.
