From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Like many people I used to rush home from grammar
school to see this Gothic soap opera. I distinctly
remember being petrified of the werewolf and running
out of the room when Barnabas bit somebody.
Seeing it now it's still sort of creepy. It moves
very slow (of course) and the black & white seasons
are extremely dull with really pathetic special
effects and threadbare settings. But when the
series switched to color and started to really
be popular (in 1967) it really got going. The
special effects improved, the settings and
costumes got more elaborate and the plot lines
went barreling out of control. Also they had
a good cast who played all their roles seriously.
That's good, because if they had camped it up
or winked at the audience it would have fallen
apart.
A good, fun horror soap. It's a good thing
it's available on video and DVD now. - preppy-3
