One of my all-time favorites shows. Frid had a brief cameo appearance in the remake with Depp.

But I've started going through the series, starting from the beginning.

He didn't appear until around Episode 211. It was a somewhat creepy atmosphere before he showed up, but nothing mind-blowing. Once there, Frid's character stole the show. I can't remember any sympathetic vampires before him. Interestingly enough, Lara Parker (Angelique) later appeared in an episode of Kolchak: the Night Stalker. She was as beautiful as ever in that show playing another witchy woman.

who hung out, outside of the ABC studio in Manhattan, where they recorded DS. Frid was a nice guy.

True story: my cousin was an elementary school teacher. She got kids to behave or she would keep them after school and they would miss Dark Shadows. It worked amazingly well.
