The House Of Dark Shadows

In house of Dark Shadows the audience is privy to the scheme of a wily caretaker who happens upon a map he believes leads to an ancient treasure buried on the grounds of Collinwood. The map brings him to the Collins family crypt where rather than treasure, the caretaker accidentally releases something dark from its eternal bondage.

That same night a young woman is attacked at the main gate of the estate. Left comatose from loss of blood caused by mysterious twin puncture wounds on her neck.....the girl can provide no clue to the nature of her attacker. But soon other victims start to pop up...similarly wounded and minus a few pints of plasma.

A pair of learned locals conclude a vampire is responsible for the attacks. The authorities and Collin's family....quite naturally scoff at the notion. They prefer to believe an unknown type of animal or a madman is behind the attacks. However, the doubters soon change their tune when a Collins family member on the intruders menu is killed and eventually returns from the grave as one of the living dead.

The supernatural nature of the killer revealed....the police are soon scurrying about the area with crosses and stakes....while almost the entire Collins family are armed with cross bows and stringing up enough garlic to corner the market.

While terror reigns supreme at Collinwood, the family has no way of knowing the perpetrator of this unspeakable villainy is dwelling unsuspected within their midst.

Woah! I'm gonna try and watch that this weekend! sounds cool!

I saw this and loved every minute of it. I'm going to try finding it so I can see it again.

Ohh another DS fan! Yeah!!!!!

You bet your sweet skeleton. I've been a DS fan since the beginning. I was totally in love with Barnabus Collins.

Same here! Did you know many of the cast members were gay? lol

No I didn't! ~raising eyebrows~ Well, that's interesting. Doesn't change how I feel about the show though. Let's face it....gay or not Barnabus was one hot vampire. He could have suck my blood anytime. (did I just say that?) ~blush~

I remember watching this show on television so many years ago. It was a soap opera and I must say it was indeed scary at times.


See ya!

It sure was. But I rushed home from school everyday just to watch it.

Most of the cast has passed away :( I would love to have the series on dvd... there way to costly, because there are so many in 1 series...

That one and Bewitched. I loved Samantha and Darren (the first one).
