Night
of Dark Shadows
was the final original Dark Shadows production, a feature
film produced on location in Tarrytown shortly after the daytime
series wrapped in 1971.
Thanks
to the generosity of Darren Gross, we are delighted
to present a selection of newly-discovered publicity stills,
some never before published. With candid behind-the-scenes
shots along with images from deleted scenes, they represent
a fascinating glimpse of the original cast at work and play.
Many
fans will know that the film suffered a last minute editing
session, losing many crucial sequences for its original release.
The campaign to restore Night of Dark Shadows to its
intended theatrical length is an ongoing concern, following
a major discovery of excised footage in 1999. Follow the project's
latest developments by visiting its official website at www.nightofdarkshadows.com.
