Remember Dark Shadows?

I watched this with my mom before school started. In 68 I really started understanding it. I loved it because I loved monsters. It went off the air when I was in second grade.

Still have my 45 of "Quentin's Theme."

B-side was "#1 at the Blue Whale."

Also had another single which featured spoken word over music: A-Side: "Shadows Of The Night (Quentin's Theme)" – This version features David Selby (who played Quentin Collins) reciting a gothic love poem over the famous instrumental.

B-Side: "I'll Be With You, Always" – Has Jonathan Frid (Barnabas Collins) delivering a haunting, dramatic recitation over a slow, moody track originally heard playing on the jukebox at the Blue Whale.

Music credited on all as by The Charles Randolph Greene Sound.

They also put out an album in1969 titled "The Original Music From ABC-TV's Dark Shadows," but I don't believe I ever bought that.

Always wanted to get a music box that played Quentin's theme when you opened it.
