[@ellierfromthebronx4531]

The one and only, the great...Dan Curtis...without whom, Dark Shadows would have never been. And I am so glad my nephew gave me the entire series on DVD! Now I can go back in time!

[@jeanettesmith765]

I have the DVD series on my Christmas wish list. We'll see if my son takes notice!

[@robertgraham5709]

Dan Curtis absolutely a Legend.💯

Wonderful interview. Dan Curtis was a very imaginative,passionate and exciting man. It's fascinating to learn that Quentin Collins was strongly influenced by The Ghost of Peter Quint from THE TURN OF THE SCREW. 4:19 I've always thought Quentin and Peter seemed very much alike and it's stunning to realize that,that was no coincidence.

H.P. Lovecraft wrote the Turn of the Screw.

[@lisaheisey6168]

@@TheBob3759 Turn Of The Screw was written by Henry James, not H.P. Lovecraft.

Hahaha ... The 1 thing I splurged on when I got a small inheritance.

The storytelling of how Dark Shadows was made and scripted brought a big smile to my face. Dan Curtis obviously loved coming up with ideas. He did a great job.

[@TheBob3759]

Dan Curtis borrowed from the classics. H.P. Lovecraft especially.

[@Renshen1957]

Dan Curtis, brilliant man, a great genius!

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Just the way Mr. Curtis describes that idea for the telephone scene with the children is a pure delight to watch here.

[@cherylbowker7664]

That Show Dark Shadows was the BEST EVER!!; NOTHING will take. it ' place.

[@mrob75]

I'm truly amazed how laid back and DOWN TO EARTH "Dan Curtis" was...He's was the type of guy you would have loved to go out and have a a beer with.

[@davidgagnon3781]

He created the sympathetic vampire. Without Dark Shadows and maybe Dan Curtis's Dracula, I don't think the Gary Oldman Dracula would have existed.

[@jeffkendall9188]

loved this thow since I was a kid in the 60s....have all the dvds.....movies too

[@sonshine5038]

Thank you Dan Curtis!!

[@davidgagnon3781]

The 18th century segment when Barnabas became a vampire was my favorite. It seemed they had the whole plot worked out ahead of time from beginning to end.

[@debbiesexton4672]

I was one of many from the kids audience. The 3:30 show worked for us because we were in Catholic school & got out at 2:30. I remember some of the kids stayed after school for cleaning & our friends would stay and help us so we could all get home on time before the show started. I say this with much laughter that it was a brutal time for me, I went to a all Polish school and was one of about 10 of us that was Irish. I was a fat kid but it never got in the way, my popularity came from the fact that my last name was "Collins". When Barnabus came on the scene my whole life changed at school, it was such fun. We all watched that show everyday and talked about it on a daily basis. Special episodes got us all scurring home to get our chores done to be able to sit and watch the show when it started. I loved all the attention!

[@jefftappan381]

Phenomenal series. Dan Curtis also created the original ' The Night Stalker ' TV-movie, which had the highest ratings of any movie before or since.

🙂🌸❤️💋🙂🌸

[@donschmidt1373]

Mr. Curtis is a good interview. It's sad that he couldn't think of anymore ideas. I watched it until the very last episode, and would have continued to do so.

[@susanjohnston1421]

You’re a very nice person and director 🙂🙂💋💋🎀🎀🙂🌸/ July 1o/ 20/ Thursday

[@jeanettesmith765]

He (and his writers) did a great job of "perpetuating" the vampire narrative. Some of the story lines were not my favorite, such as the Leviathans, but even that plot had some moments that I loved.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

How did he think of Dr. Hoffman?

[@davidgagnon3781]

I wish they could have got some new writers who could come up with something original. If only STEPHEN KING had been old enough to write for Dark Shadows.

[@daviddryden8088]

Funny Dan should bring up the rubber bat on a string. I have one outside my window almost every night. The squeaking is driving me mad.

[@leemclaury6251]

I was a teenage kid who came home to each the show on ABC and I was hooked . First in black and White then it turned into color. Fond memories

[@rickmeade9693]

[@Renshen1957]

Today, (11/28/2018) has some xrsehxle who thumbed done each interview. If KZbin only had thumbs up only policy.

[@sammyvh11]

This soap will never be replicated EVER. Curtis and Hall best combination of all time. The movies and prime time show sucked.

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

2:58 ...To play some shi... Whoops. Wrong show.

[@sting1111]

Trying to write out Barnabas was the downfall. He didn’t like when Frid took over the show.
