Barnabas is transformed into an undead creature. Development and production[edit]Having declined several previous inquiries about reviving Dark Shadows, Curtis was contacted by NBC's then- head of programming Brandon Tartikoff in the summer of 1. The reluctant Curtis was eventually persuaded by Tartikoff, who "wouldn't let up".[3]Of the revival Curtis said, "The essential characters and relationships are the same, but the things they do are different.

I thought I could rely on those old scripts, but I found that they were full of crazy plots that we couldn't use. So all the incidents are different; we arrive at similar points through a much different route."[4] According to Curtis, he co- wrote and directed the first five episodes himself, "to get it off in the style I wanted."[4] However, Curtis received co- writing credit on only two completed episodes. The revival series was produced by MGM Television, whose parent company had produced the two earlier theatrical films (now owned by Warner Bros./Turner Entertainment). A majority of the series was filmed at the Greystone Park and Mansion in Beverly Hills, California, and some period wardrobe from the 1. Dangerous Liaisons was used.[3][4]Episodes[edit]Ratings and cancellation[edit]Dark Shadows premiered as a four- hour miniseries event on January 1.

Friday night schedule.[3][4][5] Though the series debuted to great success, watched by nearly 1 in 4 households, ratings declined as the show struggled to find an audience.

Los Angeles and New York City.[7][8]Media releases and rebroadcast[edit]The original VHS release from MPI Home Video features an extended pilot episode and extended final episode, and also presents the original one- hour versions of episodes 2 and 3 (for broadcast, NBC combined them into a movie- length version so they could air that and the pilot as a 2- night mini- series to kick off the series premiere), so the home video presentation of episode 3 restores the "I'm Victoria Winters" opening narration that was left out of the movie- length version (the one- hour versions of these two episodes are also the ones that were shown when the series was repeated on the Sci- Fi Channel). The 2. 00. 5 DVD release from MGM Home Video, although re- mastered in High Definition, contained alterations to the original image presentation.

Firstly, the overall image was cropped from the original full- screen image to a 1. Secondly, after remastering, certain scenes that were shot "day for night" (shot in daylight, but meant to be altered in post- production to look like night- time) were incorrectly left untreated, presenting the problem of a vampire walking around in broad daylight. Also, this release presented the episodes the way they were shown on NBC, meaning episodes 2 and 3 were the "movie length" version and the unaired footage from the MPI release was not included at all (not within the context of the episode or even as a bonus feature). The DVD version has been re- released since that time in different packaging. Dark Shadows has been shown in reruns on the Sci- Fi Channel and Chiller.

Since 2. 00. 9 the series has been available for viewing online on Hulu.[9]See also[edit]References[edit]^Nutt, Shannon (1. October 2. 00. 5).
