Sy Tomashoff, the seven-time Daytime Emmy winner who created the creepy atmosphere for the ABC soap opera Tomashoff died Sunday at his Los Feliz home in Los Angeles, his daughter Ivy told Dark Shadows , which aired from June 1966 through April 1971. The daytime drama starred Jonathan Frid as vampire Barnabas Collins and — though filmed in a tiny New York studio — was set in a brooding mansion in the fictional town of Collinsport, Maine.
"The mood was always going to be mysterious," Tomashoff, who also served as an associate producer on the show,in an undated interview. "It was always going to be, 'What's going to happen next? Is someone going to get hurt? Is something going to pop out from behind the drapery?'" Working with a limited budget, Tomashoff used an imposing staircase, stained glass, amber light and a mix of carved wood and stone to get his point across.
