I grew up outside Philly and watched this after school everyday. There was an old mansion behind my house and the grounds were full of old urns and 2 old swimming pools (filled in mostly with leaves and stuff).My friend Janet and I would "play" Dark Shadows all the time. It was the perfect "stage"!!! What memories!!!!
So cool. Watched it after school while in grade school. When I went away to college it turned out the Mansion they filmed one of the movies, Night of Dark Shadows, was in the same town. Lyndhurst on the Hudson in Tarrytown NY stood in for Collingswood.
Four of the most heartbreaking moments happened during the 1795 timeline on DS: 1) The death of Sarah Collins 2) The death of Naomi Collins 3) The death of Josette and 4) The final conversation between Joshua and Barnabas Collins. That last look they share at the end of that scene alone before Barnabas is locked is heartbreaking enough.
At one of the DS Festivals in NYC, Ms. Parker performed her trademark Angelique laugh, which elicited great laughter and applause from the fans in the audience.
@@df5295 Dan Curtis was a genius for music and the special affects that was available in the 60,s. Skeletons and Skulls could have borrowed from Hammer Horror, London England.
Even watching "Dark Shadows" as a child (and loving it), I couldn't get past the fact that Barnabas hated being a vampire, and yet was prepared to turn Josette, whom he claimed to love, into one, just so the two of them could be together through eternity. This was actually a very mature element in the show's storytelling: showing how even love can be an instrument for evil, when selfish desire takes over from concern for the other person. Many years later, I read a line from C.S.Lewis that spoke to this. In his marvelous fantasy "The Great Divorce", a saint reflects on a predatory mother, whose son is in Heaven while she is in Hell. "I would not be surprised if, even now, she is demanding that her son be sent to join her in Hell. That sort is often willing to plunge the person they claim to love into endless misery, as long as they can still, in some way, possess them."
I have been looking for this particular episode for yrs. I remember this epi as a child & to my surprise I did remember it as it shows. Thank for this one extra special. I use to watch this with my Dad but he passes away @ 82 yrs young in 2011. This was our fav show to watch when I was a child with dad. Just last yr we watched the movie Night of Dark shadows & house of D S. ❤️
Thank you for this videos, my father, his sisters and my grandmom use to watch dark shadows, the told me the story of the show and my aunts were in love with Barnabas!!! So I have to watch it too. :) PS I'm from México.
Thanks Nikki for the DS videos they bring back many great memories! I had just graduated highschool in 1965 I was 17! Then shadows came out and i was working as a teachers aide! I had a difficult time coming home at 3:30pm and changing clothes real quick to watch DS on TV! When they finally put it on at 4:00pm I was in heaven! Hahahah! I have this on video tape twice! Hahah! Im a DS fanatic for life!!!
I love the haunting music , it touch's something in me I can't explain. I love all haunting music , but this music is especially good and very haunting.
Even Ben told Barnabas '' she doesn't know what you want to do to her'' or what Barn has planned for her --Barn said ''she loves me' . Angelique WAS warning her what she would become. Josette told Barn she din't want to live like a vampire, saying ''I know what you are ! I know what you are ! I'd die before I'd let that happen !''
DARK SHADOWS IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! I too saw a house, a mansion, , almost exactly like Collingwood on my way to high school everyday! It was like the NEW mansion, not THE Old House where Barnabas lived!
When Barnabas first told this story to Carolyn and Victoria, even though Jonathan Frid and the writers did an excellent job, it was just another interpretation of Dracula losing his love. When Angelique was added to the mix, it gave the story a very special love triangle twist, making this version of the story even better. And just for the record, it was Barnabas who sexually engaged Angelique during a business trip to Martinique, where both she and Josette are from. Whether it was before or after he met Josette is unclear. When he broke off the relationship, it set the stage for things to come.
+Libertu Bey It also illustrates the hard reality of class conflict at that time. As a servant, Angelique could never marry Barnabas, even though Barnabas took it upon himself to take liberties with her in Martinique. It was the classic "fool around with the poor girls, but only marry another rich girl" scenario. The reaction of the Collins family to when Barnabas did marry Angelique (out of spite after losing Josette to Jeremiah) was clearly one of scandal.
No it is not. The Dracula lost love trope is non existent in Stoker's novel. It is only Dan Curtis' version of Dracula, 1974 and Coppola's Dracula, 1992 which introduce that. The most recent being in Dracula Untold (although his wife falling/suicide is drawn from folklore about the real Dracula. It is not clear however that she or the story were real as there is not historical fact of it). In fact, it is Curtis' and the Dark Shadows effect which added the reincarnated/lost love story to Dracula. It is true that vampire stories usually have the vampire pursuing another - but it is a victim and is a possessive need, not really love.
Well, as it shows howJossette has reach to the end as closer to the edge, as especially as how Barnabas approaches her, too late, she already died a horrible dead. Her final screaming shows it. Even Robert Cobert music soundtrack at the background, tells y'all.
that laugh Angelique was the baddest hottest witch . she could make Regina blush and run home to momma. And Barnabas . jack Palance dracula. And Christopher lee are what dracula is suppose to be like. even the vampire and victims on the show. and they did it with out nudity. sex . profanity and real gore and violence. that's why you will always be number 1 in my book thanks for making tv worth watching
Angelique was a spoiled brat-it was her way or the highway-love DS and the actors except the Angelique charecter. Barnabas is my favorite vampire-wth the exception of the Twilight movies.....🌹
@ Sally sue Sally sue. Bela Lugosi was also superb as Dracula! The fact that his portrayal of Bram Stoker's fictional character has been spoofed so many times over the years serves to demonstrate just how iconic his interpretation of the character was and how memorable his performance as Dracula remains to this day!
I swear, if it were me, I'd have gone to him willingly. If it were some random dude trying to make her his and turn her into a vampire, then I could understand more about where she's coming from. But this is Barnabas, the man who loves her so deeply, and to whom she is engaged. He's not unknown to her, but dearly familiar. I would give myself over freely, and trust that one who loved me that much would take care of me, and continue to do see to my every need throughout eternity. I thought Josette and Maggie were idiots when I was 5 years old in 1966, and I still think they are in 2018, at 56. I remember watching the show with my sister, who is 12 years older than me. I asked her once, "Becky, why don't they want to be with him?" and she said, "Hell, I dunno, Melanie... I'd go with him in a second." And I responded, "Yeah, me too." Ahh good times, good times.
@@marilynwillett804 But has Barnabas lost his? That's not something they mention in this series. Later on when Nicholas joins the show, you can see he has sold his, but Barnabas? I think Angelique would be more likely to leave him his, to make him suffer more, like Angel.
@@kimmccarthy7747 Yes I wondered about that too, in that case I'd go to him. Angelique din't have the power to touch his soul. Nicolas was evil, and the Leviathans.
NikkiCollins100 Thanks Nikki Collins for posting these I did not grow up with dark shadows I’m in my 60s now and I’m thoroughly enjoying these clips you put on UA-cam😪🤤
thank you Nikki, I look forward to seeing your David videos...lol please make them his later ones, say from the quentin storyline to the end?!, But I do like how he escaped from Lt Forbes henchman tho! (in 1795)
@enterprise160 There is some doubt as to who the most powerful female villain in DS history was (Laura Collins or Angelique-basically I think it comes down to whether the Phoenix is at full power or at the end of her life cycle)-but there is no doubt who the most evil is: Angelique.
I find it funny that the color episode vered from the orginal story barnabas told in the earlier black and white episode where he tells Victoria and Carolyn the story of Josette's death. In that version of the story, Barnabas said she ran away from him, when they showed her death in the color episodes, all she did was turn and fall.
Try watching in slo-mo,you'll see that she really knew where the edge of the cliff was. She broke free of him,turned and she takes a couple of steps to the edge and ran off of it.she knew what she was doing.she told Barnabus thst she would die before she let him turn her into what he was.
Try watching this scene in slo mo and you can see.i suppose everyone's perception of just what she did or didn't do,will always be different. But to me,she broke away from him,took a couple of steps toward the edge and runs off of it.she knew where the edge was.and she told him she'd die before she let that happen.( to be created as he was.) so I think the horror of the reality of just how Barnabus had come back from the grave and what he now was,and how she would have to be,too,in order to be with him was enough to cause her to want to end her life right there,and so,tragically,she did.her father should have got her on a ship and took her away from all that drama after Barnabus died.asap.she might have lived.
Also remember they were writing this as they went along, especially during the B&W era. There wasn't a master story arc yet and Josette's story was revised during this 1790s flashback. The family history only had the marriage to Jeremiah and there was no mention of Angelique.
I'm a little surprised that Josette was able to break free from Barnabas' grasp, especially considering how strong vampires supposedly are. This is probably a trivial observation, but Barnabas should have dropped the cane. It made it awkward for him to grab her with both hands.
Steven Cohen I would suspect that Angelique played a hand in helping her to break free. Either that, or Barnabas did not wish to risk hurting Josette, and so did not apply as strong a hold as he could have.
atlantic 11561 Good points. Yes, Angelique had total control over the situation. Barnabas was truly powerless here. Even if he had managed to bite her, she probably would have prevented Josette from turning into a vampire. Either that, or she would have destroyed her.
Steven Cohen I always liked the characters of Josette and little Sarah, as they were such benevolent spirits. But I wonder why Josette never intervened on behalf of Maggie Evans when she was held brutally captive by Barnabas for so long. After all, she did protect David and Vicky. Is it possible that because Josette and Barnabas were lovers in life that any power Josette had would be neutralized against him? Was she resentful against Maggie because Barnabas was trying to replace Josette with Maggie? Or was Barnabas so angry at Josette for leaving him that he was ready to challenge any power she could muster? In the end, Barnabas was caught off guard by little sister Sarah, whom he never expected to encounter.
atlantic 11561 Good points. Sarah seemed to spark his conscience at times. There was an episode in which Barnabas tried to kill Julia Hoffman. He was on the verge of strangling her when Sarah appeared and scolded him sharply for some of the terrible things he had done. It grieved him deeply.
Steven Cohen Pardon me if I laugh a little bit at that one, as that was one of many scenes in which Grayson Hall comically overacted! I remember my friends and I imitating her when that happened! With that said, this was the turning point for Barnabas, as he made a pledge to lead a more benevolent existence. Incidentally, Sharon Smyth (Sarah) maintains a Facebook site under the name Sharon Smyth Lentz. She responds very pleasantly to fan messages, and I have had the pleasure of communicating with her twice.
Josette had no idea Barnabas was really a blood sucking murderous vampire, and yes that is what she would have looked like over time. Living in darkness, drinking blood, she didn't want that ''existence'' as Ben told him.
Max Schreck who played the Vampire Count Orlock in the 1922 version of Dracula which was the first film adaptation is what a vampire is supposed to look like. The Long fingernails, rat like ears, bald head and rat like teeth. Sarah Stoker (Brams) widow sued the German film maker and won the lawsuit. Even though the film was titled "Nosferatu" the film company did not obtain permission from the Stoker estate and the film company was ordered to destroy all prints. Fortunately, two prints survived. Count Orlock was killed not by a stake through the heart but by the sun rising and turned into mist.
There was another Josette who came from St. Louis in 1873 - ( Oct. 10 - Lesego Moraka's birthday in 1822 to July 16 - Catherine Masuku's birthday in 1873) abt a month and a half before a major depression ( The Depression of 1873.)
I have a request... Could you possibly post the scene where Barnabas confronts Lieutenant Forbes at The Eagle before he goes to Collinwood and kills him? Because that's one of my favorite scenes ever. So is this. Thanks for posting!
It was this storyline which cemented Barnabas as a sympathetic vampire. After seeing all the misery Angelique caused him and his family, it was much easier to accept in the present that he had changed his attitude. But later on in the 1840 storyline when Angelique dies after Barnabas finally tells her he loves her, remembering the 1795 plot, it's really not believable that he would. She was responsible for the deaths of all his loved ones and then he tells her he loves her? The Angelique death scene itself though, is poetic if you can look past all that because she died as a victim of her own curse. Once he said those words, she died and could never hear them. Some comically bad writing during the series was, intermittently when Angelique would say "why can't you love me?" or something like that he would reply, "you were responsible for the deaths of Jeremiah, Sarah, my mother and Josette, the love of my life." and she would reply, "Can't you forget all that?" LOL!
Angelique; ''True but Barnabas I never made you kill hookers on the docks, Jason, Suki Forbes, Nathan Forbes or Dr. Woodard w/ Julia's help. You would have killed poor Willie at the drop of a hat !!'' Barnabas; ''can't we just forget that?''.
+Atlantic 11561 You're quite right. Joshua ' s reaction was, more or less, to cut him out of the will. But, also while Barnabas did marry Angelique partly out of spite, another reason was Angelique manipulated that by 1.) forcing the ghost of Jeremiah on Barnabas to keep him romatically away from Josette and 2.) making Sarah sick only "curing" her if Barnabas agreed to marry her. By the time the ghost of Jeremiah broke free of Angelique and tried to prevent this, it was too late.
does anyone know if anyone has uploaded the clip where Barnabas raises josette from the grave and has her meet him at the old house only to show Barnabas how she looked after the fall and he ends up sending her back to her grave.
In the very early days of DS, when it was still just a regular soap opera rather than a Gothic cult show, Carolyn teases the newly arrived Victoria that three women were fated to jump from Widows Hill, and that one of them would be a governess. At that point, neither Josette nor Samantha Collins (two of the women to meet that fate) had even been made up yet. As it turned out, in terms of actual time, Josette was the first to jump (1795) and Samantha would be the third (in the 1840s). Victoria would complete the prophecy when she went back in time for good, and became the second victim (1796), though she would be the last acknowledged victim. A good story line in two ways: The producers conveniently incorporated the three women prophecy into the later story lines, and the fact that Victoria's death was never known for such a long time underscored the reality of class culture. The deaths of the two wealthy Collins women were known very early, but the deaths of governesses and other servants went unreported in earlier times.
Actually Josette's death is mentioned in episode 5 of the series. Sam Evans tells Vicky about Josette's suicide as they are both standing on the edge of Widows Hill.
Wow that is pretty scary. Widows Hill is the most spookiest place. I would never be daring to commit suicide and jump off the cliff I'm afraid of heights as it is LOL Barnabas has always been the main character of dark shadows. A lot of dark Shadow characters had fallen off of widows Hill throughout the whole series. I remember the other episode when Samantha Drew Collins met up with Joanna Mills at widows Hill. Same thing Samantha Collins got spooked when Joanna Mills turn herself into a skeleton minute when Samantha seen it she turned and whoops off she went off widows hills plunged to her death right into the Atlantic Ocean.
Imagine being a first grader circa 1968 watching this. And imagine that you had never seen a horror film or a scary TV show before. Imagine, also, that you had never been told a ghost story. Perhaps you had never even had a bad dream. Maybe you had never even for a brief moment known genuine fear, as it were, because of your safe, secure, carefree and sheltered life. And you're sitting in front of the television set one day after school watching this. Do you think that this would impress you at all ? And HOW ?!
Whittle's Hill was he very scary place to be I called that area a kill zone I'm afraid of heights I don't think I would have had cuts to jump off LOL I grew up with dark shadows by my parents a very awesome TV show to watch Barnabas Collins with always my favorite character so was Quentin Collins Angelique was a beautiful but at the same time spooky lol.
That image that Angelique shows about Jossete's future grotesque vampire looking doesn't show on how pretty at all she won't be at all as she was before she jump off the cliif.
I went to collinwood back in 03 and saw widows hill it's actually about a 20 foot high rock so I guess josette jumped off widows hill and got a nasy bruise. lol
I grew up outside Philly and watched this after school everyday. There was an old mansion behind my house and the grounds were full of old urns and 2 old swimming pools (filled in mostly with leaves and stuff).My friend Janet and I would "play" Dark Shadows all the time. It was the perfect "stage"!!! What memories!!!!
Your fascination with Dark Shadows interests me. What a creative idea to use the old mansion as dramatic play just to enact scenes from Dark Shadows.
Awesome 😊

3) The death of Josette
and
4) The final conversation between Joshua and Barnabas Collins.

The death of Nathan Forbes and some victims of Barnabas, the madness of Millicent Collins...
1795 so tragic year for the Collins family 👪...
You forgot the Death OF JEBB HAWKS
@@VAlerieStupidJeb Hawkes was not in the 1795 storyline.
All because of Angelique's "love" for Barnabas.

I'm still obsessed with this show!!!! I never missed an episode!!!
i buy the dvds on amazon great show still
This show was very popular in my high school. My name is Josette. You can imagine how my life was.
WOW. This show wasn’t a soap opera. It was grand theatre. GREAT DRAMATIC SCENE!!!
It started off as "just another soap opera". When Barnabas showed up you realized something else was happening.
It.was.a.soap.opra horror of mystery and supence .and romance sad..tragedy
it was way ahead of it's time
Perhaps “Grand Guignol” is the word that describes it.
@@thisismyname007..No.

As bad as we hat to entertain the notion, Barnabas was a narcissist as a vampire. No soul. And he hypnotised his prey, like many state narcissist do.
Barnabas believed True Love could change him. That having Josette would save him.
That bone chilling laugh, l remember it well.

Try watching in slo-mo,you'll see that she really knew where the edge of the cliff was. She broke free of him,turned and she takes a couple of steps to the edge and ran off of it.she knew what she was doing.she told Barnabus thst she would die before she let him turn her into what he was.
Try watching this scene in slo mo and you can see.i suppose everyone's perception of just what she did or didn't do,will always be different. But to me,she broke away from him,took a couple of steps toward the edge and runs off of it.she knew where the edge was.and she told him she'd die before she let that happen.( to be created as he was.) so I think the horror of the reality of just how Barnabus had come back from the grave and what he now was,and how she would have to be,too,in order to be with him was enough to cause her to want to end her life right there,and so,tragically,she did.her father should have got her on a ship and took her away from all that drama after Barnabus died.asap.she might have lived.
cause her panties were wet,,,
So he wouldn't lose her. If he made her a vampire, he'd be her master and she'd be his forever.
Also remember they were writing this as they went along, especially during the B&W era. There wasn't a master story arc yet and Josette's story was revised during this 1790s flashback. The family history only had the marriage to Jeremiah and there was no mention of Angelique.
This is great, thanks for posting it without a ad banner in the middle like someone elses, plus the whole scenes are cool!!!

I'm a little surprised that Josette was able to break free from Barnabas' grasp, especially considering how strong vampires supposedly are.
This is probably a trivial observation, but Barnabas should have dropped the cane. It made it awkward for him to grab her with both hands.
Steven Cohen I would suspect that Angelique played a hand in helping her to break free. Either that, or Barnabas did not wish to risk hurting Josette, and so did not apply as strong a hold as he could have.

Good points. Yes, Angelique had total control over the situation. Barnabas was truly powerless here. Even if he had managed to bite her, she probably would have prevented Josette from turning into a vampire. Either that, or she would have destroyed her.
Steven Cohen I always liked the characters of Josette and little Sarah, as they were such benevolent spirits. But I wonder why Josette never intervened on behalf of Maggie Evans when she was held brutally captive by Barnabas for so long. After all, she did protect David and Vicky. Is it possible that because Josette and Barnabas were lovers in life that any power Josette had would be neutralized against him? Was she resentful against Maggie because Barnabas was trying to replace Josette with Maggie? Or was Barnabas so angry at Josette for leaving him that he was ready to challenge any power she could muster? In the end, Barnabas was caught off guard by little sister Sarah, whom he never expected to encounter.
atlantic 11561 Good points. Sarah seemed to spark his conscience at times. There was an episode in which Barnabas tried to kill Julia Hoffman. He was on the verge of strangling her when Sarah appeared and scolded him sharply for some of the terrible things he had done. It grieved him deeply.
Steven Cohen Pardon me if I laugh a little bit at that one, as that was one of many scenes in which Grayson Hall comically overacted! I remember my friends and I imitating her when that happened! With that said, this was the turning point for Barnabas, as he made a pledge to lead a more benevolent existence. Incidentally, Sharon Smyth (Sarah) maintains a Facebook site under the name Sharon Smyth Lentz. She responds very pleasantly to fan messages, and I have had the pleasure of communicating with her twice.
It's just weird to see the character maggie evans play josette. maybe because i'm just now watching it.
Where were you in 1966/67 ?
Josette had no idea Barnabas was really a blood sucking murderous vampire, and yes that is what she would have looked like over time. Living in darkness, drinking blood, she didn't want that ''existence'' as Ben told him.
Max Schreck who played the Vampire Count Orlock in the 1922 version of Dracula which was the first film adaptation is what a vampire is supposed to look like. The Long fingernails, rat like ears, bald head and rat like teeth. Sarah Stoker (Brams) widow sued the German film maker and won the lawsuit. Even though the film was titled "Nosferatu" the film company did not obtain permission from the Stoker estate and the film company was ordered to destroy all prints. Fortunately, two prints survived. Count Orlock was killed not by a stake through the heart but by the sun rising and turned into mist.
I still have a crush on Josette/Maggie.🥰 ever since I was 7.
@itsmedontyousee yes, Barnabas & Josette lead the whole series. i had a crush on her. DARK SHADOWS was sensational. i still listen to the soundtracks.
And that is besides of Angelique of just having having just a spooky eerie creepy voice especially in the most darkest foggy and creep/eerie voice.
I even loved the remake in the '90's.
Jonathan Frid was an excellent actor. No one but no one could ever play Barnabas Collins but him.That movie with Johnny Depp was an insult !
There was another Josette who came from St. Louis in 1873 - ( Oct. 10 - Lesego Moraka's birthday in 1822 to July 16 - Catherine Masuku's birthday in 1873) abt a month and a half before a major depression ( The Depression of 1873.)
I have a request... Could you possibly post the scene where Barnabas confronts Lieutenant Forbes at The Eagle before he goes to Collinwood and kills him? Because that's one of my favorite scenes ever. So is this. Thanks for posting!
And everybody hated Angelique after this scene...
Oh yeah.
@@madeleinebaier5347 but final of this show I hate more than this episode...
It was this storyline which cemented Barnabas as a sympathetic vampire. After seeing all the misery Angelique caused him and his family, it was much easier to accept in the present that he had changed his attitude. But later on in the 1840 storyline when Angelique dies after Barnabas finally tells her he loves her, remembering the 1795 plot, it's really not believable that he would. She was responsible for the deaths of all his loved ones and then he tells her he loves her? The Angelique death scene itself though, is poetic if you can look past all that because she died as a victim of her own curse. Once he said those words, she died and could never hear them. Some comically bad writing during the series was, intermittently when Angelique would say "why can't you love me?" or something like that he would reply, "you were responsible for the deaths of Jeremiah, Sarah, my mother and Josette, the love of my life." and she would reply, "Can't you forget all that?" LOL!
Angelique; ''True but Barnabas I never made you kill hookers on the docks, Jason, Suki Forbes, Nathan Forbes or Dr. Woodard w/ Julia's help. You would have killed poor Willie at the drop of a hat !!'' Barnabas; ''can't we just forget that?''.
that was my brother's favorite line when she said 'Can't you forget all that?'...lmao
Barnabas relay Maureen's Josette is just at ivory tower they keep playing the old song to come down from ivory Tower
Creepy special effects for 1967. Not bad.
+Atlantic 11561 You're quite right. Joshua ' s reaction was, more or less, to cut him out of the will. But, also while Barnabas did marry Angelique partly out of spite, another reason was Angelique manipulated that by 1.) forcing the ghost of Jeremiah on Barnabas to keep him romatically away from Josette and 2.) making Sarah sick only "curing" her if Barnabas agreed to marry her. By the time the ghost of Jeremiah broke free of Angelique and tried to prevent this, it was too late.
Why are these vidoes blocked
Jonathan frid are you from Patmos
does anyone know if anyone has uploaded the clip where Barnabas raises josette from the grave and has her meet him at the old house only to show Barnabas how she looked after the fall and he ends up sending her back to her grave.
me
At first I thought when Josette jumped off that cliff, It just looked like she ran away from Barnabas
You have to remember that all this was filmed in a very small and cramped studio set.
marvelous video
In the very early days of DS, when it was still just a regular soap opera rather than a Gothic cult show, Carolyn teases the newly arrived Victoria that three women were fated to jump from Widows Hill, and that one of them would be a governess. At that point, neither Josette nor Samantha Collins (two of the women to meet that fate) had even been made up yet. As it turned out, in terms of actual time, Josette was the first to jump (1795) and Samantha would be the third (in the 1840s). Victoria would complete the prophecy when she went back in time for good, and became the second victim (1796), though she would be the last acknowledged victim. A good story line in two ways: The producers conveniently incorporated the three women prophecy into the later story lines, and the fact that Victoria's death was never known for such a long time underscored the reality of class culture. The deaths of the two wealthy Collins women were known very early, but the deaths of governesses and other servants went unreported in earlier times.
Actually Josette's death is mentioned in episode 5 of the series. Sam Evans tells Vicky about Josette's suicide as they are both standing on the edge of Widows Hill.
It was only legends.
But we saw a true biography of Barnabas Collins.
+ atlantic 3119 Vicky never jumped off the cliff. Modern or past when she went back permanently.
I had to watch it in black and white during the summer. My brother and I were waiting on the Price is right then cartoons.
Wow that is pretty scary. Widows Hill is the most spookiest place. I would never be daring to commit suicide and jump off the cliff I'm afraid of heights as it is LOL Barnabas has always been the main character of dark shadows. A lot of dark Shadow characters had fallen off of widows Hill throughout the whole series. I remember the other episode when Samantha Drew Collins met up with Joanna Mills at widows Hill. Same thing Samantha Collins got spooked when Joanna Mills turn herself into a skeleton minute when Samantha seen it she turned and whoops off she went off widows hills plunged to her death right into the Atlantic Ocean.
Angelique was EVIL
Laura Parker played it
WELL🖤🌟🙏
If the Daytime Emmys existed in 1967, Dark Shadows would've won a few, and I'd bet this episode would've clinched one for Lara Parker.
Man, those folks just fell off cliffs right and left.
Do I still maintain my or our house by Josephine st Philadelphia by our Napoleon and Josephine family households
The Potomac symposium sent him to her development
Imagine being a first grader circa 1968 watching this. And imagine that you had never seen a horror film or a scary TV show before. Imagine, also, that you had never been told a ghost story. Perhaps you had never even had a bad dream. Maybe you had never even for a brief moment known genuine fear, as it were, because of your safe, secure, carefree and sheltered life. And you're sitting in front of the television set one day after school watching this. Do you think that this would impress you at all ? And HOW ?!
Barnabas the relay is just pickles personal interpretation she told herself over that pines rehab fire
Angelique. Relay Maureen Josette does have those starlet shoe's for runway cue's
That Barnabas has figure out and find out about Jossete's plan in going to Widows Hill, but in a wrongful tragical way.
It's the cliff new Amsterdam NYC by Islip NY
I gather they did not have any Clinique Counters in 1795? Might have made all the difference to Josette.
Tonight the tent does have the moon's yellow Haze
What episode was this?
The engrave image of the contention is the mark of the Mongoose prophecy locker room hexed
Whittle's Hill was he very scary place to be I called that area a kill zone I'm afraid of heights I don't think I would have had cuts to jump off LOL I grew up with dark shadows by my parents a very awesome TV show to watch Barnabas Collins with always my favorite character so was Quentin Collins Angelique was a beautiful but at the same time spooky lol.
As one offers of few family members favorite color or pick of shadows
I really feel so bad for her 😢
What ever happened to Lara Parker?
That image that Angelique shows about Jossete's future grotesque vampire looking doesn't show on how pretty at all she won't be at all as she was before she jump off the cliif.
Barnabas scorned the wrong women; Angelique got him real good.
Angelique.. didn't deserve love and that's why she didn't get it..from anyone.
Her majesty's our lemon pipers already I got Saturdays child that Time contender
I've never remember in seeing Dan Morgan as Riggs.
I went to collinwood back in 03 and saw widows hill it's actually about a 20 foot high rock so I guess josette jumped off widows hill and got a nasy bruise. lol
Their Barnabas Trask not covered by Jonathan by Jonas'

They said their Eileen and called the French constables. However it was them to her Josette who was inconsistent
