Posted by Kenneth Morgan --Previous Message-- Yes, Curtis was indeed the man behind "Dark Shadows". That includes the original series, the movie spin-offs, and the remake series. In fact, one can see the "Dark Shadows" influence (specifically in Barnabas Collins' character) in Curtis' "Dracula" adaptation with Jack "Missed Call" Palance. Said influence would later be blatantly ripped-off by Coppola for his "Dracula" movie, and would be a clear inspiration for both "Forever Knight" and "Angel".
