Editing Dark Shadows (section)

===Locations===
Both theatrical films, ''[[House of Dark Shadows]]'' (1970) and ''[[Night of Dark Shadows]]'' (1971), were shot primarily on location at the [[Lyndhurst (house)|Lyndhurst]] estate in [[Tarrytown, New York]]. For the TV series, [[Essex, Connecticut]] was the locale used for the town of Collinsport. Among the locations sited there are the Collinsport Wharf, Main Street, and the Evans Cottage. [[The Griswold Inn]] in Essex was used for the Collinsport Inn, and the town post office was used for the Collinsport Police Station. The Collinwood stand-in mansion used for the TV series is the [[Carey Mansion]] in [[Newport, Rhode Island]], until August 2009 used by [[Salve Regina University]]. The exteriors for the "Old House," aka Collins House (the original Collinwood mansion) were filmed at Spratt Mansion, which was also located on the Lyndhurst estate; this mansion was destroyed by fire in 1969. The [[Lockwood-Mathews Mansion]] in [[South Norwalk]], [[Connecticut]], was also used for some scenes in ''House of Dark Shadows''. The mausoleum shots for ''House of Dark Shadows'' were filmed in the famous [[Sleepy Hollow Cemetery]], not far from the Lyndhurst Mansion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.visitsleepyhollow.com/historic-sites/lyndhurst |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140305215448/http://www.visitsleepyhollow.com/historic-sites/lyndhurst |title=Lyndhurst, a Gothic Revival mansion |access-date=March 14, 2015 |archive-date=March 5, 2014}}</ref>

All of the interiors of the TV series were shot on sound stages at various [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]-owned studios in Manhattan. The early episodes were shot at ABC Studio TV-2 at 24 West 67th Street, and the rest of the episodes were shot at the smaller ABC Studio TV-16 at 433 West 53rd Street, now demolished; as of 2022, it is the site of a six-story, 60-unit apartment building.
