More years ago than I care to remember, I would rush home from school to watch an unusual TV program set in fictional Collinsport, Maine populated by witches, ghosts, and a mysterious 200 year old vampire. The program was Dark Shadows and it's star was Jonathan Frid. Frid played Barnabas Collins suffering under a 200 year old curse that made him into a vampire. This show is the father of all the supernatural TV series we have today. It was with great sadness that I learned of Frid's death on April 13th at the age of 87. Fittingly, his last role was a cameo in Tim Burton's Dark Shadows starring Johnny Depp.
