| | Dark Shadows Weekend 2004 |
 | | This year's annual Dark Shadows fan gathering had a new name and a smaller crowd than in past years, but for the 1,000 fans and eight series stars in attendance, it seemed like old times, as we again celebrated our affection for the classic Gothic soap opera. |
 | | The three-day "Dark Shadows Weekend" (called Dark Shadows Festivals in the past) started, fittingly, on Friday the 13th of August, The convention took place at Tarrytown, New York's Westchester Marriott Hotel -- located near Lyndhurst, the mansion where the movies House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows were filmed in the early 1970s. |
 | | The House was written by Art Wallace (who later used it as a framework for his "bible" for the development of Dark Shadows), and was originally produced as an episode of the anthology TV series Goodyear Playhouse, in 1957. |
