When the afternoon school bus doors opened, all the kids would run as fast as they could to get home in time for Dark Shadows. It was completely insane and great every day.
My fiance and I have the complete series on DVD. It's wonderful to take the "trip back" to 1966-1971 and relive these broadcasts. Dark Shadows was and is something special. May Jonathan Frid, Grayson Hall, Louis Edmonds and the rest of the cast who have passed on rest in peace. Thankfully David Selby, Lara Parker, Katherine Leigh Scott and several others who made the show what it was are still around. I wanna go to one of the festivals!!!
Karen Julia was so funny, The last season, where Barnabas as Bramwell, Julia came to the door and when Bramwell opened the door, she said, "oh you seem really disappointed it is me."...that was so funny to me. Julia was really dry comedic. I loved her.
The late, lamented Grayson Hall was THE greatest screamer on DS; her participation in The Dream Curse, as well as John Karlen’s Dream Curse participation, were the two greatest moments in Angelique’s long-running curse.
And correct me if I’m wrong, but on one of the first episodes when her character was introduced, she claimed, “I don’t scare easy.” Famous last words.😅
This was the most camp show ever produced. I had the privilege to watch it from the beginning. My favorite blooper was Rev. Trask tied to a tree, he shakes to get the ropes off and the tree is moving with him. We laughed at the show yet loved it. The constant thunder storm effects were priceless too. You could do bloopers about the "weather" at Collinwood.
LoL! Some of this seems to have been written by Ed Wood! LoL! (Okay, for the most part, I *loved* this series, but, you've gotta admit - these bits are *hilarious* !)
John Karlen is actually an excellent actor. He was nominated for an Emmy Award in the category of Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series THREE times for his role as Harvey Lacey in the television series "Cagney and Lacey." He won the award in 1986. You can see it on TH-cam... John Karlen Wins His Emmy ...
Does anyone (of the diehard variety of DS fans) remember when Samuel Evans died, and when his ghost came back, he was still wearing those stupid sunglasses?! (Like, as a damn ghost, he was still blind... I cannot imagine a worse kind of hell.) XD
Maybe the devil condemned him for his actions on earth to continue to wear sunglasses. Maybe he got sentenced to the level of hell for sunbathers...peopled by she-demons.
0:10 i saw that dude get up from the chair. ive been in drama club before, and dark shadows is a lot like drama club, but with better special effects and a bigger budget
I like some of the lines that they screwed up on . In real lifr people do stumble on their words sometimes give its A sense of reality. Julia was quite A character. love over dramatics scream it would crack me up. Still A great actress though love her
:"He asked me to keep an eye on him. Uh, that's rather an unfortunate turn of phrase, don't you think?" [round 3:30 or so..] said the blind guy with the dark shades and the cane..LOL.such campy fun...gee how I miss that show, thanx marquisdd for the great upload.
I swear, once watching it as a child of 9 or 10, that I heard someone, probably a crew member, loudly and clearly FART...... I’m not joking. I thought it was the funniest thing ever.
The ham overflowed and we cringed with every misfiring prop, but learned to forgive and smile, and love it all, and never thought of deserting it. Lara Parker said, "watching a broadcast episode, typically with other members of the cast, was always an exercise in humility. Of course, we all had our excuses." It's appropriate that on this show 'dead' never necessarily meant gone because, quite obviously, this show itself has no intention of dying.
I still love Dark Shadows. I was one of those kids that used to run home to see the latest episode, but now that I'm an adult, I can say that those actors were such lousy actors! LOL. Julia's screaming is so over the top, she looks like something out of a John Waters movie, and so does Willy! LOL.
John Karlen(Willie Loomis), changed so much from Dark Shadows to Cagney and Lacey..... but his son looked a whole lot like him when he won his Emmy for Supporting Actor in Cagney and Lacey.
@ Brayna Taylor. Actually "Dark Shadows" was not broadcast live--it was videotaped once and then broadcast. But you are correct that they very rarely refilmed scenes on the show. It was usually one take and if the actors or actresses flubbed a line of dialogue, they simply left it in with no editing.
Yes recorded Filmed lived on stage✨ if there were error(s) ...-it would still be Broadcast. The Classic Dark Shadows Cast/Crew did the best Theatrical performance, I've seen. With errors and Without the errors. Totally awesome.-🌌
@@georgewoodward6525 . Lara Parker was right that acting on "Dark Shadows" was like theatrical acting in that they rarely would revideotape scenes on the show unless an actor or actress made such a colossal error that it was necessary to revideotape a scene. A major difference, however, between "Dark Shadows" and theater acting is that in theatrical acting, an actor or actress has to project his or her voice to the back of the theater so that the dialogue can be heard all the way to the back of the theater, whereas in TV acting the microphones pick up the actors' and actresses' voices easily with no need for voice projection.
Its funny watching Dark Shadows after 50 years. Now I see some of the mistakes, camera crew on the set, etc. Its also funny. Julia was really funny sometimes.
I don't see it here, but my favorite one was a scene in which Barnabas was talking to Julia, and a fly kept landing on his head. It was hilarious, but I really admired Jonathan Frid and Grayson Hall who ignored it and went right on acting. LOL
@ Steven Cohen. How about the moment in the scene in which Barnabas Collins and Dr. Julia Hoffman are standing in front of the outside of the metal door that leads down to the basement at the Old House and Jonathan Frid--unaware that the TV camera is on--picks his nose! LOL!
@@michaelbarlow6610 Barnabas was apparently “digging for gold.” I also like the scene where Barnabas is holding a rifle on Adam and then Adam is supposed to grab the rifle from Barnabas’s hands and brake it in half. Unfortunately, the rifle breaks into two in Jonathan Frid’s own hands before Adam (actor Robert Rodan) actually snatches the rifle away from him. It was very funny to see!
One of the all-time memorable botched lines of dialogue on "Dark Shadows" is when Amy Jennings says to David Collins about the ghost of Quentin Collins: "He locked me in the door...the room!".
How about that enormous blooper with Jonathan Frid...as Barnabas Collins, he was trying to say somebody's name and went through about seven names before he said the one he wanted to say. "Bill, George, Jack, Carl....!!!! To me, Frid goofed his lines more than anybody else on the show.
@@thomasromano9321 . I don't remember the scene or the moment in the show "Dark Shadows" when Jonathan Frid flubbed the name repeatedly of the character that he was trying to remember. What was happening in that scene when that moment occurred? It would be perfectly understandable if he more than any other actor on that show messed up his lines of dialogue because he more than anyone else in the cast had the most screen time on that show. At one point he went to Dan Curtis and told him that they needed to create another major male character in that show to take some of the pressure off Frid because the long hours he had to work on that show in so many scenes in each episode was wearing him down. That's when the show's writers or Curtis himself came up with the Quentin Collins character and David Selby was hired to play that character.
@@michaelbarlow6610 True enough, that's when David Selby came on the scene. True, Frid had more screen time than any other actor, but Jeez, some of his flubs were embarrassing! There were other actors who had a lot of screen time, though not as much as his, but still they rarely seemed to flub their lines such as Lara Parker as Angelique. I also thought she was one of the best actors on the show.
@@thomasromano9321 .Lara Parker was not only beautiful as Angelique, but is a very, very good actress and ( judging from the success of her novels about her character on the show Angelique) supposedly a very good writer as well - women TV and movie performers are actresses not actors!
Good or bad, they were stage actors, which was supposed to be the highest form of performance. In the stage, you had to give your all to get your point and performance across, which was what they did, regardless of dialogue. they had to convince the audience. As it is, that dream curse was about one of the silliest things I saw on the show. I think the only thing I hated more was the Leviathan storyline.
It wasn't exactly live, they just didn't have enough of a budget or the time to do extensive takes and editing so they had to get it right the first time or go with what they had.
Was that sound effect actually a part of the show when Elizabeth told Willie she heard him call that monster Adam or did somebody add that later in a compilation for the fun of it? .
@Second coming of bast HAHAHAHAHA, I watched that in the 60's as a child, no I'm sure they added that bonk sound for this blooper. Even though there were constant flubs, and boom mics in the frame, and sometimes cameras among other mistakes, they took this seriously. They were really all amazing actors to keep a straight face.
@@Debby901 I wouldn't have thought they'd do something like that but who knows what somebody migbt do for the hell of it. I used to watch it in the sixties too but I never saw this part. The Adam storyline is one of my least favorite tbh so I wouldn't have minded the levity. I might have felt different if I'd seen it as a child. . I saw the part where Barnabas had Maggie imprisoned in his basement up until not too long after she escaped but before Willie was shot. That was back when it was on during school hours. I guess the part I saw was aired during summer vacation. I started watching it again when Quentin started haunting Collinwood and Chris was terrorizing Collinsport and never missed an episode.
@@secondcomingofbast9908 Yes it came on here in N.M at 4:30 p.m....my favorite part was definitely Quinton and when he first appeared he was a ghost, he didn't speak for what seemed like the longest time. I had a mad crush on him even though I was more or less David's age. My other favorite was Kate Jackson who came on I believe near the end! Crazy with all the mistakes I was still terrified as a child. Angelique was the one I found the most scary😳😂
@@Debby901 I had kind of a crush on Carolyn but my main crush was Amy, who was almost my age. I liked Angelique but I got tired of her always showing up. It was never a surprise when she turned up. You always knew it was just a matter of time. They actually ran her character into the ground.
@@secondcomingofbast9908 Lol, I can understand you having a crush on Carolyn/Nancy Barrett, I being a Burnett wanted to be a blonde because of her.She was a amazing actress! Amy/Denise Nickerson was a good actress too. I believe she went on to play in "Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory"! Sadly she passed away! Did you ever get to go to one of the yearly convention they had for the fans/ actors? I never did and regret it. I saw someone posting a live stream last week on Facebook, the showed a couple of the shows, ppl were commenting, I jumped in with them, such a good time. Brought back so many memories. Sadly I think there are few still living. Oh and I loved Lara Parker, never got tried of her wickedness 😂
@@titaniumpianist That scene where Adam gets this evil glint in his eye and goes off camera, and then you hear Grayson Hall's (Dr. Julia Hoffman) hoarse yell....funny as hell to me. And yes, Grayson Hall WAS a smoker.
@4:12. Chris Jennings says "...a coffin". I think his IQ must be off the chart! Send him to Harvard or Oxford, with that kind of insight and intellect!
How about the scene in which Barnabas Collins shoots Angelique Duvall with a flintlock pistol from about 6-7 feet away and hits her in the upper left shoulder! From that extremely short distance he was unable to hit her squarely in the chest!???? Not very good marksmanship by Barnabas! Reminds me of the scene towards the end of "The Mummy's Hand"(1941) in which Babe Jensen (played by Wallace Ford) shoots 2 or 3 times at Professor Andoheb (played by George Zucco) from no more than 2-3 feet away, Andoheb tumbles down the back steps of the temple apparently mortally wounded, and yet at the beginning of the sequel film, "The Mummy's Tomb" , the aging and dying Professor Andoheb tells his successor as High Priest of Karnac that the bullet that Babe Jensen fired into him only crushed his arm! So Babe Jensen from no more than 2-3 feet distance missed Andoheb once or twice and failed to hit him in the chest!???? And yet moments later at the end of "The Mummy's Hand", Jensen demonstrates eagle-eye marksmanship when he shatters the bowl of tana fluid (that the mummy Kharis is drinking from) with one shot from a distance of about 20-30 feet! And how is it that when Andoheb, just before Jensen shoots him in "The Mummy's Hand", draws his revolver out from his sleeve and fires one shot at Jensen incredibly aiming downward (as if he was trying to shoot Jensen in the knee) that the bullet richochets off the ground and wounds Jensen in the upper left shoulder!????
Sushi Time lol it's actually a pretty fun show, especially if you are a fan of classic horror films or vintage tv. The acting is generally better than this compilation would have you believe, still though if you, or anyone else, were interested in starting it you should know what your getting yourself in toand this is all part of it... all this and worse, but usually better lol
John Karlen's absurd , overacting when as Willie Loomis he opens the three doors and sees horrible things is absolutely priceless! Lol!
When the afternoon school bus doors opened, all the kids would run as fast as they could to get home in time for Dark Shadows. It was completely insane and great every day.
I remember watching it after school every day but I don't remember talking to my friends about it. I think I was only in 4th grade too.

7:54 - "It is 4 o'clock...in the afternoon." Barnabas freaks out because he's missing "Dark Shadows" due to being in the hospital.
Robert Sharp good one lol
@Sue Taft I think Robert Sharp was making a joke. :)
@Sue Taft I guess that is in addition to the stake and sledge hammer demise
This show scared me half to death when I was a child! Never saw these mistakes or thought of it as campy! Still love watching!
How can you not love Dark Shadows!
Love the lime green mini-dress going up in flames!

Dr. Lane simply had to be the hammiest character ever in DS!

There is one scene where they zoom out too far an you can see the "Property of ABC-TV" written on the edge of the wall!

I wonder if Barnabas ever “cracked a rat” while he was chained up in that coffin for 172 years?
theatrical acting at it's best
@Sue Taft so true 😂😂😂
I'm laughing so hard. How fun was this show!
1:25 - Julia screams her head off (a la Granny Clampett) at the sight of a body. But wait! Isn't she supposed to be a doctor?

And yet moments later at the end of "The Mummy's Hand", Jensen demonstrates eagle-eye marksmanship when he shatters the bowl of tana fluid (that the mummy Kharis is drinking from) with one shot from a distance of about 20-30 feet! And how is it that when Andoheb, just before Jensen shoots him in "The Mummy's Hand", draws his revolver out from his sleeve and fires one shot at Jensen incredibly aiming downward (as if he was trying to shoot Jensen in the knee) that the bullet richochets off the ground and wounds Jensen in the upper left shoulder!????
Jeez....
Well, I'm glad I saw this before I wasted time on this show.
Sushi Time lol it's actually a pretty fun show, especially if you are a fan of classic horror films or vintage tv. The acting is generally better than this compilation would have you believe, still though if you, or anyone else, were interested in starting it you should know what your getting yourself in toand this is all part of it... all this and worse, but usually better lol
When it was bad it was bad, but there were many times that it was quite good.
LOL! :D
awful acting!!!
