Talk:Night of Dark Shadows

Parallel Time

edit

This article says "The story was very loosely based on the "parallel-time" sequence of the TV series." However, there's nothing about this movie that is similar to the parallel-time storyline. Where does that claim come from?

I was just coming here to say exactly the same thing. It's simply untrue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.149.12 (talk) 04:28, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

DVD release

edit

Not sure whether the release of Night of Dark Shadows (and its predecessor, House of Dark Shadows) actually took place in October 2012, but I know for certain they were in fact released, as I own both of them. Blozier2006 (talk) 10:20, 5 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • The article previously said, "The DVD and Blu-ray release of Night of Dark Shadows and House of Dark Shadows were the first films to be released in the US with a GP rating." For clarity, the GP rating only was used from 1970 to 1972 before being changed to PG, and many films that were originally rated GP had their ratings symbol changed by the Motion Picture Association before being released on DVD. However, I have confirmed at least one example of a film that was released on Blu-ray with a GP rating clearly displayed on the box before the Dark Shadows films -- The Cowboys, which was released on Blu-ray in 2007. As can be seen from the images here, The Cowboys retained its GP rating. I have no idea what was the first film to be released on DVD or Blu-ray while retaining its GP rating, but House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows, released in 2012, could not have been the first ones. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:16, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
