THE ABC SUPER SATURDAY CLUB SPECIAL aired #OTD in 1969.
The preview of ABC’s Sat morning cartoon lineup featured a rare primetime appearance by DARK SHADOWS star Jonathan Frid.
Sadly, the show is lost. But maybe somebody will find it, locked away in a secret room. #DarkShadows #ClassicTV

@willmckinley.bsky.social I just watched this great documentary 'Dark Shadows and Beyond: The Jonathan Frid Story' and I highly recommend it! It is streaming on several platforms including Prime Video. Jonathan mentored so many people and he must have been a joy to know and work with.

Groundbreaking director Lela Swift (1919–2015) won her first Emmy #OTD in 1977.
She rose from the CBS secretarial pool to direct live dramas during TV’s Golden Age, then DARK SHADOWS and RYAN’S HOPE.

Farewell to John Lasell (1928-2024) — an unsung hero of DARK SHADOWS.
As parapsychologist Dr. Peter Guthrie, he battled the spooky soap's first monster (the phoenix Laura Collins) before vampire Barnabas Collins arrived.
He was also a familiar face for 25 years on shows like THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
