On October 12th, 2024, the Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival celebrated the 100th birthday of actor JONATHAN FRID, best known for his role playing "Barnabas Collins" in ABC-TV’s hit gothic soap opera, DARK SHADOWS.
To celebrate, the festival created a hand-numbered limited edition 13 x 19” print exclusively for the first 200 ticket buyers. The print pictured Frid as Barnabas in an appropriately festive pose for his own celebration.
Tarrytown, New York, where the festival took place, was also the site of exterior photography during the original run of the show and two movies based on the series were filmed in and around Lyndhurst Mansion.
In October, 1990, Frid gave a notable performance in The Old Dutch Church, reading The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and other stories by candlelight.
The centennial tribute was headlined by Mary O’Leary, producer of the award-winning documentary DARK SHADOWS AND BEYOND and included appearances by DARK SHADOWS actors: Sharon Smyth Lenz (Sarah), Donna Wandrey (Roxannne), and Marie Wallace (Eve, Jenny, Megan).
The program also featured a video recording of David Selby (Quentin) performing a series of letters written by Jonathan Frid and was followed by an autograph session in the lobby.
The print offered here is numbered #133 in black ink and will be mailed flat within multiple sheets of extra thick cardboard.
