| abstract | - Sam was born Allison Samuel Hall in Carrollton, Ohio, and graduated from Dartmouth and Yale. A veteran of the World War II Battle of the Bulge, Sam Hall was married to Dark Shadows star Grayson Hall in 1952. Their son, Matthew, later worked with his father on scripts for the soap opera One Life To Live as well as the 1991 Dark Shadows series. Despite many scenes from that series being liberally adapted from his work, Hall did not receive screen credit until Episode 4. In the October 9, 1971 issue of TV Guide, Sam Hall contributed an article entitled Here's What Really Happened to Barnabas & Co. This article described the future fates of all of the major Dark Shadows characters following the final story arcs from the series which would have been filmed had the show not been cancelled. A teleplay of this article was provided as part of a documentary entitled Beyond the Shadows on Volume 200 of the MPI Dark Shadows VHS collector’s series, as narrated by Roger Davis. Hall went on to write for other daytime serials including General Hospital, One Life to Live and Santa Barbara.
