Dark Shadows final episode 1971


The unapologetically campy Gothic horror series, Dark Shadows, aired its final episode April 2, 1971, after 5 seasons and 1225 episodes.  The saga of the Collins family, trying to escape its ancient curse, dealt with werewolves, withes, warlocks, time travel and, of course, vampires.  Jonathan Frid played the hugely popular Barnabas Collins.  It remains one of the top cult TV shows ever.

Throughout its run it also starred Joan Bennett, and Louis Edmonds (both of whom appeared in all episodes) Alexandra Isle (Victoria Winters) and Kate Jackson.
