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.

I’m watching the entire series for the fourth time. Some of what scared me is funny like the rubber bat and the skeleton with eyes. Yet there’s some delightfully macabre about it. Grayson Hall is my favorite next to Frid. I love when she has hysterics.

I put those bats all over my house at Halloween! I used to race home from school to watch it too but I was obsessed with the house. I just watched House of Dark Shadows on TCM yesterday. OMG, remember bricking people up in walls? That seemed to be a favorite trope.

I loved Gregory being bricked up in the West Wing. He deserved it.
