All 1,225 Episodes of “Dark Shadows” Just Hit Amazon Prime Streaming
The Tim Burton movie isn’t free with Prime but that’s okay with us.
Depicting the lives, loves, trials and tribulations of the wealthy Collins family of Collinsport, Maine, where a number of supernatural occurrences take place, the American gothic television series “Dark Shadows” aired from June 27, 1966, to April 2, 1971 on ABC. The show ran for five years, delivering a staggering 1,225 episodes.
As of this week, you can stream EVERY episode through Amazon Prime US & UK!
Via The Collinsport Historical Society, “this number includes all 26 DVD collections, as well as the six volumes that make up DARK SHADOWS: THE BEGINNING, the so-called Pre-Barnabas years.”
“The series became hugely popular when vampire Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid) appeared ten months into its run. Dark Shadows also featured ghosts, werewolves, zombies, man-made monsters, witches, warlocks, time travel, and a parallel universe. A small company of actors each played many roles; as actors came and went, some characters were played by more than one actor.
Dark Shadows was distinguished by its vividly melodramatic performances, atmospheric interiors, memorable storylines, numerous dramatic plot twists, adventurous music score, broad cosmos of characters and heroic adventures.”

Mike Mignola’s ‘Grim Death and Bill the Electrocuted Criminal’ Getting a TV Series from Echoverse
The novel Grim Death and Bill The Electrocuted Criminal from Thomas E. Sniegoski (The Fallen) and acclaimed artist/author Mike Mignola (Hellboy) was turned into a podcast by Echoverse alongside Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting last year, and Variety reports this week that Grim Death is now being turned into a television series.
Grim Death and Bill The Electrocuted Criminal is a darkly-comedic story about a man named Bentley who, in order to release his parents from purgatory, has agreed to work for Death avenging those who have been killed before their time. Aiding him in his supernatural quest is Bentley’s acerbic butler Pym, head-strong journalist Gwen, and nearly-dead sidekick Bill.
Variety reports that Grim Death is in development as a television series from Echoverse, which will “either be a standard show or one optimized for the short-form vertical viewing market.”
The outlet notes, “The podcast, which debuted on Cineverse’s Bloody Disgusting in 2025, received many accolades, including being a 2026 Podcast Showcase Selection at the Tribeca Festival; winning Best Fiction Podcast and Best Fiction Podcast Writing at the Communicator Awards; taking bronze for Best Drama Podcast at New York Festivals Radio Awards; and more.”
“From the minute we read the novel, we thought Tom and Mike had created something unique and special,” Echoverse president Mark Stern said in a statement shared by Variety. “Seeing the incredible response the audio-drama has received — not just from fans, but from critics — only confirmed that. We couldn’t be more excited to see this richly textured world become a compelling television series, hopefully with this superlative cast reprising their roles.”
Mike Mignola and Thomas E. Sniegoski will executive produce the upcoming TV series.
