House of Dark Shadows is producer/director Dan Curtis' tour de force. This is the best TV to motion picture adaptation I've ever seen, & it's also one of the best horror movies ever made. Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins is most convincing as a gentleman "to the manor born", & in the next moment, a terrifying vampire. The rest of the cast is equally stellar, & the New York locations of Tarrytown & Sleepy Hollow add a spooky authenticity. "Come see how the vampires do it!"
