 Brian W. Fairbanks-Writer/The Shadows of Film Noir (Part One)
Rain swept streets, menacing shadows, and faces lit, intermittently, by blinking neon signs, are common images, as are scenes photographed by a camera that seems to have been contaminated by the seedy milieus in which noir is often set.
Film noir thrived in the 1940s but had its beginnings in the gangster films that the studios churned out in the wake of such box-office hits as Little Caesar and The Public Enemy in 1931.
The film noir is, as critic Louis Giannetti points out, actually a subgenre, one that overlaps with other forms, especially gangster and private detective thrillers.

"Dark Shadows" creator Dan Curtis has always insisted that the show came to him in a dream, with an image of a girl on a train reading a letter and a voice-over explaining that she was journeying to a seaside town to work as a governess.
To watch "Dark Shadows" today (the Sci Fi Channel airs back-to-back episodes weekdays at 10 a.m.) is to feast on camp-a-licious flubbed lines, awkward silences, wandering boom mikes, misfiring props and special effects along the lines of dime-store vampire teeth and rubber bats on a string.

 Album Reviews - John Frusciante - Shadows Collide with People
Shadows kind of meanders along nicely (except for those damn electronic asides (-00Ghost27 and Failure33Object) until it reaches what is in my opinion the second great trio of the album consisting of "Song to Sing When I'm Lonely", "Time Goes Back", and "In Relief".
