This is an Official DS music video and not my creation.

Quentin's Theme was first heard on Dan Curtis' 1968 TV drama The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. The composer Rebert Cobert later re-recorded the tune for Dark Shadows.

Robert Cobert's inspired music score for Dark Shadows broke new ground for a television program. The original soundtrack cracked the top 20 of Billboard's national album chart in 1969 and still ranks as one of the top-selling TV soundtracks ever. The spoken-word instrumental track "Quentin's Theme", for which Cobert earned a Grammy nomination, was recorded by the Charles Randolph Grean Sounde. The single peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (and number 3 on its Easy Listening chart) in the summer of 1969, when Dark Shadows was perhaps at the peak of its popularity.

Shadows of the night...
Falling silently
Echo of the past...
Calling you to me
Haunting memory...
Veiled in misty glow
Phantom melody...
Playing soft and low

In this world that we know now
Life is here, then gone
But somewhere in the afterglow
Love lives on and on

Dreams of long ago...
Meet in rendezvous
Shadows of the night...
Calling me to you

Calling me to you

  • I had this album as a little kid! --I truly loved this show and years later had the opportunity to meet Jonathan Frid. He was incredibly kind, humble, and as nice a man that one could meet. Thank you for posting this. They don't make em' like this anymore. I hope that the up coming Tim Burton Film does D.S. justice.

  • @rickw1100 Thank you!
