The '''Dark Shadows Wiki''' is a collaborative project designed to document everything related to the various incarnations of the '''''[[Dark Shadows]]''''' franchise. The Wiki format allows anyone to create or edit any article (that includes you!), helping provide a complete, up-to-date database for fans. So far there are '''[[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles''' on the site, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Also keep in mind that this site is full of '''SPOILERS''', so if you don't want anything spoiled you might want to come back when you've watched every episode of Dark Shadows.

| style="font-size: 1.0em" |'''Dark Shadows''', the first gothic soap opera, originally aired weekdays on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] television network, from June 27, 1966, to April 2, 1971. The series was created by [[Dan Curtis]] and became hugely popular with the introduction of [[vampire]] [[Barnabas Collins]], played by [[Jonathan Frid]]. During its run of 1,225 episodes, it featured nearly every major gothic, horror and fantasy plot element and theme including [[ghosts]], [[werewolves]], [[zombies]], [[Adam|man-made monsters]], [[witches]], [[warlock|warlocks]], [[Eric Lang|grave robbings]], [[curse|curses]], [[possession]], [[Seance|seances]], [[reincarnation]], [[Leviathan|satanic cults]], [[Time Travel|time travel]] and a [[parallel time|parallel universe]]. Although the [[Dark Shadows (1966)|original series]] ran for only five years, its scheduling as a daily daytime drama allowed it to amass more single episodes than most other science-fiction/fantasy genre series produced for English-language television. Now regarded as something of a classic, it continues to enjoy an intense cult following. The series has also spawned three feature length [[movies|films]], a [[Dark Shadows (1991)|1991 revival series]] and a range of [[novels]], [[comics]] and [[Big Finish Audio Dramas|audio dramas]]. Most notably, in 2012, director and long time fan of the show, [[Tim Burton]] released a [[Dark Shadows (2012)|film adaption]] starring [[Johnny Depp]] as [[Barnabas Collins (2012)|Barnabas Collins]].
And remember, this show is eve-ill.

The upcoming [[Dark Shadows (2012)|Dark Shadows film]] is set for release on May 11th, 2012, and fans of the original show are almost unanimously delighted that the ever-creepy [[Tim Burton]] is directing and [[Johnny Depp]] is starring as vintage vampire [[Barnabas Collins]]. The casting of [[Michelle Pfeiffer]] as [[Elizabeth Collins Stoddard]], [[Eva Green]] as [[Angelique Bouchard]], and of course, Burton's wife [[Helena Bonham Carter]] (as Dr. [[Julia Hoffman]]) is proof that the film intends to replicate the strong feminine presence of the original cast. Now that the film has been shot in England, trailers and exclusive photos are expected to garner a lot of mainstream attention, especially considering that it's a Burton/Depp endeavor. Hopefully, this remake will classically restore the vampire image, like Nosferatu and Bela Lugosi's Count, and once and for all show those tacky young vampires of Twilight, True Blood, and the likes who is boss.

Dark Shadows, the first gothic soap opera, originally aired weekdays on the ABC television network, from June 27, 1966, to April 2, 1971. The series was created by Dan Curtis and became hugely popular with the introduction of vampire Barnabas Collins, played by Jonathan Frid. During its run of 1,225 episodes, it featured nearly every major gothic, horror and fantasy plot element and theme including ghosts, werewolves, zombies, man-made monsters, witches, warlocks, grave robbings, curses, possession, seances, reincarnation, satanic cults, time travel and a parallel universe. Although the original series ran for only five years, its scheduling as a daily daytime drama allowed it to amass more single episodes than most other science-fiction/fantasy genre series produced for English-language television. Now regarded as something of a classic, it continues to enjoy an intense cult following. The series has also spawned three feature length films, a 1991 revival series and a range of novels, comics and audio dramas. Most notably, in 2012, director and long time fan of the show, Tim Burton released a film adaption starring Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins.
