Dark Shadows Really Was Dark…Once
If you enjoy Being Human, The Vampire Diaries or any other supernatural dramas, then you owe a debt of gratitude to Dark Shadows. That’s because it was the first show to bring supernatural elements into a drama format. Of course, if all you know about the series are the previews from the new movie, then you might be shocked to hear that it’s a drama at all. Since the new movie doesn’t seem like a great place to learn about this groundbreaking series, let’s take a look at the show and how it finally got mashed into the Tim Burton film coming out tomorrow.
For those interested in catching the series, don’t worry, this is a spoiler free zone.

It Didn’t Start Out So Dark
These days, the show is famous for its supernatural storylines, but nothing of that nature was present when the show was first pitched. It all started in 1965, when Dan Curtis had a dream about a mysterious young woman on a train. He pitched the idea to ABC, where it was quickly greenlit. Art Wallace was hired to create a story from Curtis’ dream and he came up with a tale about a young orphan, Victoria Winters, trying to discover her past in the strange town of Collinsport, Maine.
When the show premiered, it did fairly poorly both due to its use of mostly unknown actors and its long, drawn out storylines. Even as the show was struggling though, it was still innovative, being one of the first soaps to incorporate flashbacks and parallel time lines.
Six months into the show, things started to become more interesting when ghosts were introduced into the story. While it’s not all that rare for shows to use the supernatural these days, at the time, it was unprecedented and the show quickly increased in notoriety.

10 Fictional Characters You Didn’t Know Were Based on Real People
No, the real Abed isn’t nearly as awkward or insane as the Abed from Community, but he’s certainly just as obsessed with pop culture. Even so, it’s hardly a flattering portrayal of the real life version, but he’s certainly better represented than many other people who had fictional characters based on them, as evidenced by this great Flavorwire article.

The Best Tattoo Cover Up Ever
A reader of Geekologie sent in this great story of how a terrible Edward tattoo obtained during a bet eventually became an awesome Rufio tattoo in what is arguably the greatest tattoo portrait cover up ever.
“OK, so this guy I used to know recently made a deal with his friend that they would choose each other’s tattoos and they would each get theirs while being blindfolded. He took his blindfold off to see this — Edward, from Twilight! Yikes! So later he had it covered up with RUFIOOOO!”
OH HELL YES. I asked my little lady to turn the pictures into an animated gif, but the angles make it look like there’s a colored part in Edward that doesn’t appear in Rufio. Like I said, that’s just the angle.
I know many of you don’t like tattoos to start with, but you have to admit, if you’re going to get a tattoo on a bet, this cover up is probably one of the best outcomes you could hope for.
