"Vampirism is not a disease, Julia. Vampires are the living dead!" - Professor T. Eliot Stokes (Thayer David)
DARK SHADOWS, the wildly popular 60s soap opera accomplished what no other daytime soap had ever done either then or since -- produce a feature-length motion picture of its namesake. Directed by Dan Curtis and titled HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS, it premiered on 9 SEPTEMBER 1970 in Detroit, Michigan and began its general release in New York the following October 28 (pretty close to Halloween, wouldn't you say?). This year marks the fortieth anniversary of its release. There will be a celebration at the annual DARK SHADOWS convention in Burbank, California July 16 through July 18.
