Where were you In ’72

Bang a gong, get it on, Bang a Gong,

“My name is Victoria Winters and an Old Evil has settled over Collinwood…..”

In 1972, I was watching Dark Shadows reruns on our New Independent Channel. I recently started watching Dark Shadows, I’m on episode 205.

Dark Shadows is a Gothic Soap Opera where all the other Characters are normal Soap Opera type characters with the exception Of Barnabas Collins who is a Vampire that was entombed for 200 years before grave robber Willie Loomis released him.

I have always viewed Dark Shadows and the Green Hornet as the greatest TV shows ever. I love Jonathan Frid’s portrayal as Barnabas as a Stranger and a Strange land and at the same time a dark power with his own goals.

A new Dark Shadows movie is coming out and unfortunately they are going for humor, much like the Green Hornet movie, instead of playing straight.

But it still looks like fun.

What is your opinion?

Where were you in ’72

Which songs from that period would you like to have had in the movie?

Now that we satisfied Fair Use. Let’s rock.
