I just read a wiki article saying that major influences on Blackmoor were Tolkien books (OK...) and Dark Shadows TV serie () that I never heard of (possibly I grew up in a different continent?).
Can anybody tell me more about it?
Now my curiosity is stirred...

Interesting.
This series were not mentioned in the thread. Do you remember which article/website suggested that Dark Shadows was an influence of Arneson?

Dark Shadows was a TV soap opera back in the early '70s. The story was about a modern vampire. Duane Jenkins was particularly fond of the series. I was not aware that Dave A was into it, too.

Thank you for the clarification! :)
I guess this was never broadcasted in Europe, so I never heard about it before.
