I was lucky to attend a Dark Shadows convention in NYC in the World Trade
Center Marriott where the entire cast (except Frid) was there. There were
several thousand people and it still goes on every year. I am planning to
attend this year, sad because Jonathan Frid was to be there. But I did get to
see him, I drove from Minnesota to Kentucky where he was doing an Edgar Allen
Poe meeting and was lucky to get time with him backstage (after writing ahead
about it). He was a kind man and signed 3 or 4 pieces of memorabilia and gave
me a signed (to my name) 22 x 38" poster (duplicate of course) of the painting
near the Collinwood front doors. It hangs proudly in my home theater.
Ditto!!! I was one of those kids also?
School was out at 3:00 pm. and I ran home to prepare for the next episode at 4!

I am
deeply saddened by this news. I was one of those fans who ran home from school
to watch Dark Shadows. I owned the entire 200 VHS collection, and then
purchased the entire collection on DVD and have watched it through 3 times now,
all 1225 episodes. Thank goodness his fantastic work is available for everyone
to see. What a strange coincidence that this happens when the new film comes
out, at least he was offered a cameo. Jonathanfrid.com has alot of great photos
and was run by him until his death, for those who enjoyed his work. I have a
feeling he was not happy with the trailer for the new film, as most fans are
not. Rest in peace Jonathan!
