Wife and I have been watching the old gothic soap on Amazon lately...she grew up with it when it originally aired in the '70's. She thought it would be fun to put this old song that we (mainly her) wrote awhile back on the Dark Shadows website for Lara Parker's birthday. I put it on Youtube last nite to use the link. Then she thought I should post it here in the spirit of Halloween, so what the heck. It did morph into a rockier version but never recorded that. Did this back in the '80's with two friends on an old 8 track reel to reel, so not the best production back then. Bass player sang it, not I.

Angelique.I'd sometimes watch it around '67 or so(13 or 14 yrs old) and at that age it didn't have enough action for me but she was fetching.

That's right, it was the 60's, I remember coming home from school and seeing it on tv but I didn't watch it back then either, I went out to play. My wife did tho, said it scared the crap out of her. It's been fun watching it now. They didn't stop production for ANYTHING...flubbed lines, boom mic is in the shots all the time, things crashing in the background. It's really been a lot of fun revisiting it.
Yes, fetching for sure.

Ha, nice Marty! Saw a lot of that set early on, always had that playing. We just got to period where they switched over to color and don't see the Blue Whale as much. They've been going back to black and white occasionally...I think they had reliability problems with the first gen color cameras.

Thanks Buck! Wish I had a later version, it got better, this was early and rough but only version I could find, it was a long time ago when we did it!

I recall as a kid my friends watching Dark Shadows and talking about it. I was out in the “family room” watching it to see what the buzz was. My Mom came in the room…asked what I was watching…she watched over my shoulder about a minute it seemed…,and promptly told me she didnt want us watching “that type stuff” and to find something else to watch. Case closed.
I probably then switched over to watch Underdog or The Flintstones but never went back. ;-)
