Even though I wasn't old enough for it's first run, I was fortunate enough to have gotten to catch just about every episode when the Sci-Fi Channel used to air it in the mornings, about 6 years ago...I wish they'd bring it back, as I can't afford to buy the series on DVD at the moment!

OMG!! I remember it very clearly growing up, especially the late 60's when I was living in Missouri for a few yrs. My mother watched it with a passion so we had no choice. I would have nightmares about the show at night and when the weather was really bad it was even worse laugh.gif Thinking Barnabas Collins was in the closet or under my bed unsure.gif tongue.gif

I always liked Angelique (the witch), when ever she cast her spells, that creepy music that played!!

Yeah, that music alway's came to mind when the rain and trees were slamming the outside of the house at night. Scaring the sh** out of me laugh.gif

I'll bet if I has seen this show when I was younger, it'd have the same effect on me, but then again, I'm a horror buff, so maybe not??

 

Another thing I remember is Quenten Collins, and his portrait, ala Dorian Gray... Too cool!

My sister used to have a board game, in which you had to assemble the skeleton that glowed in the dark, or something like that...I bet I could find it on e-Bay somewhere...

Here's the theme song, I still love this:

Shite, most of the links on the sites I have are no longer working, I don't think I'll find those themes, but I can keep trying!

 

But I did find a pic of Collinwood I had saved:

Ah very important scene too. yes.gif

One thing was I am glad they switched actor with character of Willie. I always found that Karlen fit the character bettter.

 

Hmmm hope there is another version that would work unsure.gif

This is the Carey Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island - - now part of Salve Regina University where I got my Masters. The building is perfectly preserved and wonderful!!!

 

I just found this thread. I am thrilled!!!

 

I have always adored Dark Shadows! I used to run home from school to catch every episode - - showing my age a bit, eh!?!?!

 

Dark Shadows was one of my first inspirations into the Gothic World - - and I've stayed there! - - my students call me "GOTH FOR LIFE"!!!

 

I still have Quentin's theme on an old 45 record - - just need a new turn-table to play it!

 

DS was the best soap opera on television! When a character died, unlike on other shows, we always knew the actor would return in another form, time-zone or dimension!!!

 

We all wanted Josette's hair, Daphne's mystery - - remember the smell of lilacs?!?, and Angelique's power!

 

Barnabus' cane and ring - - Quentin's lambchop sideburns - - Willie's foolishness . . .

 

. . . and we all learned to despise the nasty preacher, "Reverend" Trask!!!

 

Great memories!!! Thanks!

 

Hare biggrin.gif

I wasn't a huge fan, but I watched it off and on. I also had this model kit when I was a lad and Barnabus sat on my shelf for about five years until my friends and I blew him up with firecrackers (you know the equation, young boys + firecrackers + boredom = stuff gets blown up!):
