Product Description:
With its alluring tales of Gothic mystery and supernatural intrigue, DARK SHADOWS became one of the most popular daytime series of all time. Since first airing on ABC-TV from 1966-71, DARK SHADOWS has earned the reputation as being one of the most unusual and enduring programs in broadcasting history. The character of Barnabas Collins, a guilt-ridden, 175-year-old vampire, brought the show tremendous success.
Now, for the first time on DVD, MPI presents the spooky series' rare, early episodes before the arrival of Barnabas.
Collinwood's surly caretaker Mathew Morgan informs Victoria Winters that he believes the ghost of Josette Collins and other spirits inhabit the estate. In an attempt to settle the controversy surrounding the manslaughter case that sent Burke Devlin to prison, Collins Fishing Fleet Manager Bill Malloy sets up a private meeting for himself, Roger Collins, Same Evans and Burke.
Elizabeth Collins Stoddard confides to Victoria some of the legends involving Collinwood and Widow s Hill. Carolyn Stoddard and Victoria spot a body floating at the bottom of the cliff and Victoria soon experiences a strange premonition. After Malloy mysteriously disappears, Roger nervously bribes Sam to leave town. A ghost emerges from the Old House on the Collins family property.
Customer Reviews:
There was Death Before Barnabas, 2008-11-11
Prior to viewing "Dark Shadows: The Beginning," Collections 1 & 2 (so far), my knowledge of the storyline of the show before Barnabas sank his fangs into Collinsport was limited to the introductory segment of DVD Collection 1. Seeing these REALLY early episodes has been campy, spooky fun. Each has the little chalkboard at the beginning and the annoucer reading the epsidode number, date it was videotaped and the airdate. Way cool. Roger Collins is actually sinister, Elizabeth Stoddard more eccentric, Victoria Winters even more innocent, David even more disturbed, Burke Devlin is the only one out for blood (!), and Maggie Evans evolves from the brash waitress with the frosted 1960's wig to the doe-eyed innocent who is destined for doom down the line as Barnabas' bride. Definitely a guilty pleasure for Dark Shadows fans who came on board post-Barnabas; a must-have addition to collectors!
