Sci Fi History: Dark Shadows (1966)

Dark Shadows was a soap opera that ran for five years from 1966-1971. The show was not a typical soap opera. It included the paranormal including vampires, werewolves, witches, and zombies. Dark Shadows broke out when the character Barnabas Collins was introduced. The show lasted only five seasons, but had 1,225 episodes since it ran daily as opposed to weekly. Kids used to race home from school to watch. Johnny Depp portrayed Barnabas in a 2012 reboot.
