On the MPI home video release, slates are included for the first 209 episodes of Dark Shadows. Read by ABC announcer Bob Lloyd, whose soothing and distinctive voice also became familiar to viewers through the closing announcement that "Dark Shadows is a Dan Curtis production," these production materials offer fans an entertaining glimpse behind the scenes.
Originally created for production use, the slates preserve details such as episode information and recording dates while capturing a unique moment in the history of the series. While not part of the Collins family history, they are an important part of the visual record that helped bring the world of Dark Shadows to viewers.
This page presents each surviving slate along with Bob Lloyd's announcement before the episode begins.
