DARK SHADOWS & BEYOND – THE JONATHAN FRID STORY is the first-ever feature-length documentary devoted to Canadian-born actor Jonathan Frid who became a television star sensation with his portrayal of guilt-ridden vampire Barnabas Collins on the original 1966-1971 daytime drama Dark Shadows. The spooky gothic serial attracted not only housewives and college students but millions of school kids who ran home each afternoon, turning the classically trained forty-something Frid into a romantic figure and unlikely teen idol.
