One of the reasons I think Dark Shadows still runs is that it's dependent on nothing else other than a story.

I don't think they knew exactly where they were going with the character, but they lay those stories out ahead of time, so they had some idea where they wanted it to go.

I think family is very important in West Virginia and has long been so because the mountains made travel difficult in the past, and family members had to depend on each other.

The thing of it is though that's the only way people know you, they see you in that roll and they see you in person and they only know the perception of what you are.

You know... the wonderful thing about Dark Shadows, the thing about going and looking back at it. It was so sucsessful at creating its own world.

I may have been lucky with some sort of intuition, but I believe in training a great deal.
