Lengthy, fact-filled and entertaining articles by Ron Haydock, Don Glut, Jim Harmon and Russ Jones are the highlights of this issue. Another highlight is the transcript of a speech that Barry "Night Stalker" Atwater gave before a meeting of the Count Dracula Society at the 30th World Science-Fiction Convention in Los Angeles in 1972. Included is an interview with Atwater. A great, all-vampire issue!

Thanks for posting this issue! As a new fan of DARK SHADOWS I thoroughly enjoyed reading comic writer Don Glut's article on the series. Looking forward to the next installment with the BLACULA article. One of my favorite fun movies ever since I caught it on the late show decades ago along with its sequel. Your site is a regular and always enjoyable stop in my blog-hopping. Thank you for the hard work you invest into it--it hasn't gone unappreciated!

I was one of those kids during the original broadcasts of Dark Shadows that ran home from school (2 miles!) to get home in time to watch the daily episode. The cliffhangers kept me coming back, and of course, Barnabas and the rest of the "monsters". Thanks for being a regular reader of MMW -- it's nice to know that you're out there!
