Dark Shadows (1991)

From The Dark Shadows Wiki

Dan Curtis, series creator of the original Dark Shadows pitched the idea for production of a mid season, program to NBC in 1991. Referred to as the revival series, this version of Dark Shadows maintained the same gothic allure that made the original series so popular. Rather than running it as a daily half hour soap opera like the original, NBC aired the series as a one hour weekly, program. The story structure of the program mirrored many of the key plot lines from the 1967-1968 seasons of Dark Shadows, including a character who travels back in time to the 18th century. Due to poor ratings after the onset of the Gulf War, the Dark Shadows revival series only lasted twelve episodes.

The short-lived comic book publishing house, Innovation Comics produced three separate limited series in 1992-1993 set in the world of Dark Shadows.
