Dark Shadows on-the-air mishaps, or The Show Without Out-takes
With the Johnny Depp spoof of classic Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows opening on May 11, I thought it might be well to revisit some of the moments which so endeared the show to kids of my generation.
The show was shot on a "shoot to tape" basis, which meant that rarely was a scene reshot no matter how badly it was botched. Few, of any, of these are outtakes. Most ran exactly as you see them below.
Afterward is an interview with Jonathan Frid, who portrayed Barnabas Collins, the Depp character- and TV's first vampire sex symbol. Frid passed away a few weeks ago at the age of 87.
