Subject: DARK SHADOWS From: jlschwar@athena.mit.edu (Jeffrey L Schwartz) Date: 1991-01-24, 10:34 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks For those of you who don't care about Dark Shadows, feel free to skip this post. I know this isn't a Dark Shadows user group, but enough people have alluded to it for me to comment. The "Phoenix" storyline involving Laura Collins was supernatural, yet ambiguous enough to still be considered within the realm of reality. The Barnabas storyline was the first true MONSTER storyline on Dark Shadows, and I think the start of his storyline starts off the series available on videotape. It was not, however the first truly supernatural storyline. That would have been David's ghost friend Sarah. It was not known whether she was a figment of David's imagination or a true ghost, until the one episode where she was shown alone on camera. In the words of Lela Swift, "We've crossed over."
