My sister and I watched Dark Shadows every day after school. One of my clear childhood memories is of my cousin (we were visiting my aunt’s home over Christmas break) scaring my sister while we watched Dark Shadows in their very dark TV room. She was lying on the floor watching and was engrossed in the show. My cousin was slightly older; he just tickled her ribs a little, but she screamed — which scared him!
Thank you for sharing this memory. I can relate to your sis. My startle response is always dialed UP, especially when I'm focused. And this was particularly true when I was a preteen.
