odd. so it's a soap opera? -------------- Original message -------------- From: Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, I was a pretty morbid kid back then, so I ate the show up. Overall, it wasn't much to write home about. One freaky thing that sticks with me about it is the fact that Alexandra Moltke, the woman who played professional victim Victoria Winters, ended up being Claus von Bulow's mistress and probably the reason he ffed his wife.

I have memories of darkened rooms, slow mournful dirge as music, lots of rain and thunder. It always depressed me in the few minutes time I tried to watch it. Of course, some of that doleful mood might be that my mom always insisted on keeping all the doors and windows shut even in the middle of summer, so I was already depressed and in a dark mood before watching "Dark Shadows"! :) -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.
