"Night of Dark Shadows" as a ghost story works very well.It's pretty atmospheric and suspenseful.The acting is decent and the location sets(an old creepy castle,graveyard)provide creepy atmosphere.Still I'd love to see director's cut which is 129 minutes long-it must be great!All in all "Night of Dark Shadows" is not as good as Mario Bava's Gothic horror movies("Operazione Paura","Black Sunday"),but if you like scary tales check it out.
