The Harrow: Review: Dark Shadows |
 | | Dark Shadows' chief writer, Art Wallace, whose previous works included the original teleplay This House (NBC's Goodyear TV Playhouse, 1957), was approached by Curtis to write and develop the story outline for the proposed series, which was to originally be named Shadows On The Wall. |
 | | Wallace drew heavily from This House in the beginning development of Dark Shadows, and with all due respect, what initially began as a gothic romantic serial that couldn't quite grow wings, the turn to elements of horror and suspense was genius. |
 | | Dark Shadows slithered back to life briefly in 1991 with a completely new cast and writers who arrogated plot elements from the original series. |
