synopsis
With fans like those of Star Trek or The X-Files, the vampire series Dark Shadows hit a chord among enthusiastic viewers when it first aired. Since its original run in the '60s, there has been a revival, and more than a few flattering homages. Dark Shadows Music Videos highlights the soundtracks for this cult classic. Interspersed with the music is archival footage of the show. Some of the featured songs are "Shadows of the Night (Quentin's Theme)," "Ode to Angelique," and "Josette's Music Box." Actors Jonathan Frid and David Selby make appearances, enacting dramatic scenes. Composer Robert Cobert is also interviewed. Often described as a gothic soap opera, Dark Shadows was a precursor to modern supernatural hits.
