Line 8:
Though many soaps have since flirted with plots involving ghosts and psychic energy, ''Dark Shadows'' used almost every [[Monster Mash|classic horror element]] (vampires, werewolves, zombies, magic users) as well as sci-fi tropes like [[Time Travel]] and alternate dimensions.
The show was also notable for having storylines taking place in different time periods and parallel worlds, allowing the same actors to play [[Identical Grandson|identical relatives]] or [[Hey, It's That Guy!|lookalikes]].
''Dark Shadows'' has been an inspiration for numerous other supernatural series, including ''[[Kolchak the Night Stalker]]'', ''[[Twin Peaks]]'', ''[[The X-Files (TV)|The X-Files]]'' and ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. One plotline even involved a vampire who gives an extended [[Interview With the Vampire|interview about the supernatural]] to a hack writer.
