I noticed in the obituaries the other day that Dan Curtis had passed away. Some will remember him as producer of the great mini-series' Winds of War and War and Remembrance. I will always fondly remember him as the creator of that classic cult soap opera "Dark Shadows". Who amongst us didn't love Barnabas Collins? Weren't we all rooting for him to be freed from his vampire life? I miss that show.

Comments:
Dark Shadows!

The second and last time I ever invested any time in a soap opera* (if you don't count "Lost").

And what did I learn?

Soap operas never resolve story lines; they just keep adding more and more complications.

*The first time? "Never Too Young" http://imdb.com/title/tt0058831/
 
Let's not forget that Dan Curtis was responsible for The Night Stalker/Night Strangler, as well as "Trilogy of Terror", the TV movie where a murderous little doll with a knife chased Karen Black all over the house!

Well done!
