Hey, I Remember This Show: Dark Shadows

My babysitter used to watch this show during its first run when I was a child. I still remember being haunted by one scene in which a woman seemed to be melting into nothing against a background of fire but I suspect my childhood imagination took that scene out of context. Then later on when I was a teenager, a local TV station showed reruns of it and I got hooked again.

It's a bit slow by modern standards, but when I was a kid, this show was the closest thing we had to Buffy or Angel. I even remember having a crush as a teenager on Alexandra Moltke, the woman who played the governess Victoria Winters. But that was a long, long time ago.
