Dark Shadows Movie Book : House Of Dark Shadows And Night Of Dark Shadows

Featuring producer/director Dan Curtis' original shooting scripts from "House of Dark Shadows" and "Night of Dark Shadows", this book contains previously unpublished publicity photos, stars' recollections, production credits, and promotional material--a treasure trove of trivia for "Dark Shadows" movie fans. 80 photos, 30 in color. The Dark Shadows Movie Book is the first publication to examine and commemorate the two M-G-M theatrical motion pictures ("House of Dark Shadows” and "Night of Dark Shadows”) based on the successful '60s Gothic television series "Dark Shadows.”
The Dark Shadows Movie Book features reproductions of the uncut original scripts to both films (which offer numerous rare scenes deleted from the film’s release prints), complete with producer-director Dan Curtis’ extensive script notes--offering unique insights to the filming process. The four female stars of the films--Kate Jackson, Lara Parker, Nancy Barrett and Kathryn Leigh Scott--contribute their recollections of the productions. The book also contains dozens of previously unpublished publicity photographs and behind-the-scenes shots, including many in full color.
"House of Dark Shadows,” released in 1970, involves the story of reluctant vampire Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid) and his attempt to make Collinwood governess Maggie Evans (Kathryn Leigh Scott) his eternal bride. The film also starred veteran Hollywood screen actress Joan Bennett.
