PanaceaFish Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 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 Thinking Barnabas Collins was in the closet or under my bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanaceaFish Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited June 20, 2009 by Miss Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did find a pic of Collinwood I had saved: http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/174/collinwoodbh5.jpg 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!

Jack Aubrey Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 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!): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/JackAubrey/BSRlgVQBGkKGrHgoH-D4EjlLl0WegBKCYyT.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
