RIP Dan Curtis

Dan Curtis, producer of America's first gothic television soap opera, Dark Shadows, died last Monday. I wasn't a fan of everything he produced, but I have been a fan of Dark Shadows for years -- both the 1960's series with Jonathan Frid and 1990's series with Ben Cross -- primarily for its creative storylines and its borrowing of themes present in a wide array of literature. In fact, my first online BBS nickname was Barnabas Collins.

May he rest in peace...
