Even though I've only seen a few episodes of the actual series, I really enjoy the two feature films that came out of the Dark Shadows mythos.
House of Dark Shadows was a condensed version of the Barnabus storyline, and it does feel like an epic story shrunken into an hour and a half. Night of Dark Shadows is more the tale of a possession and witchcraft, which has super Laura Parker from the series as the ghost witch, and Kate Jackson shows up in one of her earlier roles.
These are exactly the kind of moody, gothic horror film that make a slightly drizzly fall afternoon something special.
Since so many classic horror fans are connected here, does anybody know about the status of the restoration attempts that both of these movies are going through?
