They should bring it back -- make an updated version.

They did make an updated version in the early-90s, with Ben Cross in the role of Barnabas. Unfortunately, it was a primetime show, aired only once a week, so it lost most of its appeal in an hour-long format, and was quickly cancelled...

Yeah, but I mean make an updated daytime version. ABC can cancel OLTL and put DS in its place.

It wouldn't work. When Port Charles ripped off Dark Shadows, fans weren't into it and it dropped in ratings leading to it being canceled. Passions writers already cut back on their supernatural storylines. It's now about prostitution, rape, sexuality, and incest. Supernatural shows have better luck in primetime right now.
