** Another celebrity obit this morning to pass along, and this was a big one for Diane.  Jonathan Frid, who played the vampire Barnabus Collins on the original "Dark Shadows," passed away at the age of 87.  For a whole generation, their afternoon wasn't complete without watching the gothic soap that was "Dark Shadows!" Diane even had this Barnabus Collins "Dark Shadows" Board Game!


Here's a video of Jonathan Frid on "Dark Shadows."
