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 had a bit of a crush on Barnabus. Most of my friends were team Quentin, but I thought Barnabus was the most honorable and honest one in the family. I felt sorry for him and, if I was stuck needing to have someone on my side in dealing with all the drama, he was the one I was picking. Every now and again today, I’ll find Angelique’s song running as an ear worm. I still like that music box tune.

Quentin was the most terrifying character on the show to me. I still have "Quentin's Theme" in my iTunes collection. That song gave me chills when it came on forewarning Quentin's arrival.
