I agree that you could not characterize Dark Shadows as SF.   However they
did dabble in SF-like material occasionally.  For example, the last season
focused on the happenings in a "parallel" universe, with the same cast of
characters with slight changes.   This idea was undoubtedly taken from any
number of SF stories with that same idea.
