Jonathan FRID ...truly a superior, dramatic & Gifted actor.

[@gordontheengineswifedr.nirmal]

Jonathan was everything ideal - he was humble, genuine, Intelligent, well bred. He was not a womanizer, he treated everyone with respect and class. He even dealt with his own challenges with grace. He was one of a kind. A true role model - n that’s what made him truly sexy. He had the right mind n soul, n it paired well with a beguiling n uniquely handsome physical personage.

I was a child when Dark Shadows was on TV. I was forbidden to watch so I would go over to the neighbors to watch with them. Just this last year, I rediscovered the series on a Facebook fan page. I love it! And to discover podcasts dedicated to the show is such a treat! (Terror at Collingwood). Rewatching this show has saved some of my sanity during the epidemic. 🦇🦇🦇

[@VANDYKEDAN]

Makes me smile anytime I see a picture of him, or anything Dark Shadows really. Just recently bought the entire DVD collection and watched from start to finish; what an epic experience! A lifetime favorite! I really can't wait for this, and will be buying the Blu-ray.

Wow!! Looking forward to it. I was one of those kids racing home from school for 04:00 to see every show. Currently re-watching the series on Amazon. Mr. Frid and Grayson Hall were great together.

[@thejupiter2574]

@jay DEMARTINO and we all know that Julia was very much in love with Barnabas but he was blind. She was always there for him and protecting him cuz she luv'd him :)

I still remember running home from school so I could catch the next new episode to air. Me in front of the TV with my after-school bowl of tomato soup.

[@sgthawkeye]

You and me both! lol

[@vickifong]

Absolutely, I ran from the bus stop, waved at my parents, and turned on TV. LOVED DS, JF and whole cast

[@danbaranowski]

With “Dark Shadows”, Jonathan Frid cemented his name into television and film history. From 1966-1971, “Dark Shadows” and “House of Dark Shadows” challenged Frank Sinatra’s films “Assault on a Queen” in 1966, “Tony Rome” & “The Naked Runner” in 1967, “Lady In Cement” & “The Detective” in 1968, “Dirty Dingus Magee” in 1970, and his television specials “Sinatra” in 1969 and “Sinatra & Company” in 1971, and challenged Bob Barker’s (future “The Price is Right” host from 1972-2007, 2009, 2013, 2015) “Truth or Consequences” throughout the entire run of “Dark Shadows”

Perhaps for Halloween 2021 there can be a Zoom screening / viewing party, Split the screen between the Documentary and the DS actors watching it and then all their comments afterwards? I'm looking forward to this.

[@spectrumlocalb191]

I DID NOT GET THE DAN CURTIS ONE AS NO.ONE PUBLICISED IT. THE THEATERS SHOULD PUT IN THEATERS THE DOUBLE HEADER HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS AND NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS TOGETHER ON THE BIG SCREEN. IVE HEARD DAN HAD ANOTHER HOUR OF MATERIAL CUT FROM HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS PUT THAT BACK IN AND YOU HAVE A 3 HOUR FILM FOR THEATERS

[@thejupiter2574]

@spectrumlocalb191 Yes the Dan Curtis Documentary Master of Dark Shadows was publicized all over Facebook and the commercial for it was also posted on KZbin, perhaps you just missed it. You can see it still on the video site called Tubi TV and I believe it's still available on Amazon.
