Line 10:
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 show's musical score was considered notable, receiving a Grammy nomination and spawning a top 20 Billboard hit.
Line 16:
''Dark Shadows'' is one of the only soaps of the era to boast a nearly complete archive. All but one episode survives intact, most as the original color videotapes, with a handful as black-and-white kinescopes. (An audio track exists for the "missing" episode, which was mated with publicity stills for later commercial release and syndication.)
There was a short-lived television remake in [[The Nineties]], as well as a [[Big Finish]] radio series. A [[Tim Burton]] [[Dark Shadows (

=== ''Dark Shadows'' provides examples of: ===
Line 84:
* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: Angelique
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Dr. Lang and Dr. Julia Hoffman
* [[Madwoman in
* [[Missing Episode]]: It has ''one'', being just about the earliest soap opera to be recorded for posterity. Also, the aired film versions of several early episodes are lost and they survive only on Kinescope, with noticably lower picture and audio quality.
* [[The Movie]]: ''House of Dark Shadows'' and ''Night of Dark Shadows'', neither of which took place in the main continuity. ''House'' was a more grisly retelling of the introduction of Barnabas, whereas ''Night'' was barely connected at all, essentially retconning all characters and lore for a new story.
Line 103:
* [[Revival]]: The 1990s version. There was also an unfinished pilot for the WB.
* [[Running Gag]]: Reverend Trask and his grandson, Gregory, both get bricked.
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[Silver Bullet]]: effective against both vampires and werewolves.
* [[Spooky Painting]]: Angelique has one. So does Barnabas. And Quentin. Josette, as well.
* [[Stalker
* [[Start of Darkness]]: The entire 1795 storyline, for Barnabas.
* [[The Show Must Go On]]: Examples are too numerous to list. Barnabas' heart-wrenching dramatic pauses were reportedly just Jonathan Frid forgetting his lines.
Line 124:
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Tim and Rachel, for each other. ''Very'' unlucky indeed.
* [[Visions of Another Self]]: for nearly a whole season.
* [[What Happened to
* [[What Year Is This?]]
* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: Several [[Story Arc|Story Arcs]] were taken whole hog from classic horror fiction; ''[[
* [[Woman Scorned]]: It's heavily implied that Barnabas and Angelique had sex. It's not clear whether this was before or after he became engaged to Josette, but Angelique got the short end of the stick either way. These events were the catalyst for Angelique's hatred for the Collins family.
* [[Yandere]]: Angelique
