Rich's article on Uncle Floyd briefly mentioned the rebirth of 
Dark Shadows, that 1960's gothic horror soap opera. Any Dark Shadows
Fans out there. I am particularly interested in a segment of the 
show that lasted about a month. The main storyline was a 
dream, in which the dreamer would be forced to open a door, and face
some incredible danger within. This dream was truely disturbing to 
all the people who had it, and the dream would re-occur until 
the dreamer told someone about it, at which time, the 'someone' would
have the dream. This was supposed to terminate when a main character 
had the dream. This is as much as I remember about this 
sequence, and I'm wondering if someone could fill in the details, i.e.
why the dream, whose plot  etc.. 
 
 The second sequence I need clarification on, is when Barnabus was
being 'cured' of being a vampire. On the critical day when he 
could finally face the sun again, Dark Shadows was pre-empted.. Anyone
remember why? 
                                           Thanks.
