When I was a kid outside playing I could hear the Dark Shadows opening blasting out of many homes. We only had 3 channels to choose from and probably 75% had Dark Shadows on.
Forbes was a self centered piece of garbage but his character Joe Haskell he was a great guy very attractive to it's too bad he died so young I believe in the 80 s sometime. Rest in peace
the 1795 storyline was great the 1897 was great as well and most importantly we learn why the present day (1960's ) Collins family didn't know about Barnabas. Edith had died before telling the secret and al so by 1960's.. people in general stoped believeing in things like ghosts, Vampires and werewolves all of that moved from reality to legends catagory in people's minds.
Jonathan frid who played Barnabas Collins, was the best actor on the show. Does anyone know if jonathan frid was on anything else besides Dark shadows?
2:25 I know why Barnabas, who is so desperate for release from the curse, objects. He wants to make sure that the last deed he ever does is to avenge his mothers suicide. Perhaps he believes, in that sense, he can go to his end with some measure of relief and honor satisfied. He's trying to redeem himself. Perhaps that's also why he chooses to strangle Forbes to death instead of drinking his blood. He wants to avenge his mother as a man would, not a vampire.
@Brandon Gary Now that is an idea . Alexandra Moltke tried to get Dan Curtis to let her back in as a different character but Curtis wasn’t going to go for it . I don’t think it was bad blood . I think the decision was that she put such a stamp on Victoria Winters that the audience wouldn’t buy it and Dan was right if he thought that way . After all two other Actresses did VW when AM left to have a baby but it just didn’t work and it was no fault of the actresses, so they wrote Victoria Winters out . Like Fonz on Happy Days , Barnabus Collins wound up taking over the show and it worked but Victoria as a vampire in parallel time ? Well, if you have any writing talent you are going to have to fan fiction it but I like the idea !
My question is iif forbes.knew that Barnabas was going to kill him why didn't Forbes get the hell.out of twon as soon as the. Sun was up.be for e 9pm at night
why they've didn't also showed that part when by Jason McGuire has opened the coffin of Barnabas Collins, then he has gotten strangled and killed by Barnabas Collins?
This guy used to scare the crap out of me as a kid. Mom used to watch it when they brought it back on television in the '90s. Barnabas was the stuff of nightmares to me.
What ultimately became of Barnabas Collíns !? Only Dark Shadows knows! So remember fans, when you've had your (stake)! Get some rest! Boomp - bowmp - bye!
He sent that Noah sailor guy to kill little Daniel Collins. He sent Millicent and Naomi to the tower on purpose knowing Barnabus was there. He lied about Victoria Winters cause her to go to the gallows. He treated Stokes like crap put his dirty booted foot on Joshua's coffee table. yeah he deserved what he got and good riddens Lt. Forbes.
One of my favorite scenes!!
looking back on these reruns way better than the scripts we have now on todays soaps...never boring either.

It didn't hit my heart Forbes!
Best Vampire ever!
Abso-friggin-lutely!! :-)
When he was stumbling over his lines...

All of this was done live, the music cues, sound effects, etc. Every show is a miracle. 😉
My 6th grade class was glued to this everyday. Some parents forbid it.
Classic Dark Shadows scene, everybody remembers this scene.

Actually, Dark Shadows almost never allowed Barnabas to bite another man because they thought it would be too homoerotic.
When he went back to 1795/96 about 200 episodes later he did bite Forbes but it didn't show it
Two best vampires. Bela Lugosi and Jonathen Frid.
Do I frighten you Forbes?
“It didn’t he me Forbes…it didn’t hit me!”
It would have been cool that when they went to parallel time that Victoria winters was a vampire

Yes Barnabas was the greatest vampire ever.
My question is iif forbes.knew that Barnabas was going to kill him why didn't Forbes get the hell.out of twon as soon as the. Sun was up.be for e 9pm at night
Cause Lt. Forbes is a greedy hungry creep can't see past anything, but money.
Besides, everyone knows you have to break the spine of a vampire.
My Mom ...."What's going on down there ?!?! What are you watching ?!'
Me and my sister... 'Uh....Nothing...' ;D
LOL!
why they've didn't also showed that part when by Jason McGuire has opened the coffin of Barnabas Collins, then he has gotten strangled and killed by Barnabas Collins?
That was in the present, not the past.
Y’all I took my glasses off to clean them and I read this as lil’ Forbes instead of lt ! 😂😂😂
Sorry if I did something wrong. I would never try and hurt you!
This guy used to scare the crap out of me as a kid. Mom used to watch it when they brought it back on television in the '90s. Barnabas was the stuff of nightmares to me.
and Forbes got it coming.
We all got it coming

Nice cape
Why da heck did he shoot while the door was still closed 1:01
Target practice.
yeah, WildWild1, Trask has gotten it, and now Lt Forbes is next.
I always thought Barnabas coat was black. It's green. A nice shade of green.
Forbes was a piece of crap, but he didn't commit murder. Did he really deserve to die for his actions?
He sent that Noah sailor guy to kill little Daniel Collins. He sent Millicent and Naomi to the tower on purpose knowing Barnabus was there. He lied about Victoria Winters cause her to go to the gallows. He treated Stokes like crap put his dirty booted foot on Joshua's coffee table. yeah he deserved what he got and good riddens Lt.

@@butterflycombcomb5158 In retrospect, I defer. Thanks for the details on the dirt bag.
You're right, Forbes was such a cocky asshole right from the beginning!
Who kills who????
ahhh,boogie boogie😂😂😂😂 sorry Forbes you couldn't screw and you couldn't shoot either not even a arrow damn. "fanggoolie" is about to take you out😂
