Grew up watching Dark Shadows as a teenager. Now binge-watching it, at 71 with my 10 year old granddaughter via Prime Video. It is just as addictive now as it was 50+ years ago. Jonathan Frid saved DS from cancellation with his powerful and captivating stage presence, beautifully expressive eyes, rich voice and elegant Shakespearean tones. His imagining of Barnabas, making him a sympathetic, lonely soul tortured by a vengeful curse, is what captivated DS watchers and kept them tuning in. Jonathan Frid was nothing short of brilliant in his portrayal. RIP Jonathan. You have achieved immortality once again, but this time through your magnificent acting.
Agree, I've watched all of it many times. I however wish that they would had finished the story in 1971 where Barnabas marries Julia and they lived happily ever after.
@@dr.migalitoloveless1651 it was never played for camp, they were always committed to it as real - that's why it worked (and still works) so well. campy? never! theatrical? yes ... in the best sense.
Brilliant acting by veteran stage actors - Jonathan Frid, Louis Edmonds, Joan Bennett, Thayer David; John Karlen, mystery, romance and suspense mixed with the supernatural and, best of all, the very handsome and always intriguing Barnabas Collins. 🖤🧛♂️ The theatricality, dialogue flubs, pesky flies, coughs off camera, props crashing to the floor, tree trunks moving...are a whole other show!
Watched it growing up in the 60s , found it now on tubi, all episodes, this show is so intriguing. It literally pulls you in where you can't wait to see the next episode, there's a strange power to the original series.
I wonder if Desmond asked Barnabas and Julia and Professor Stokes what was the in store for the Collins family and for the United States during the next 130 years? Heck, they could even have told Desmond when he and the others were going to die. I guess they did not want to risk tampering with the normal course of history by telling Desmond, Letitia and Quentin and Daphne what the future held for each of them on account of that reason. They had almost done enough damage by their repeated trips back in time.
I used to watch it after school when I was in first grade. I used to take a dive behind my sofa during the werewolf transformation 😂 It used to scare the heck out of me! 😬😧
What I love about Dark Shadows is that I watched the original run about partway through from about 1968 to 1971 at age 7 to 9 or 10 (I forget what month it finished its run), then watched it again on SciFi in my 30s. Now I can watch it on Pluto TV on the Dark Shadows channel, all day if I wanted to and I just turned 60! I love having this show available to enjoy so many times in my life. I refused to watch the "new," show on ABC and the Johnny Depp disrespectful farce movie. My allegiance stayed with the original show and cast.
I've been binge watching on Tubi TV. I have not reached the Barnabus ones yet and got curious about some things. I skipped ahead to "peak" at videos like this. I only remember watching the short-lived remake from the early 90s, when I watched them on SyFy back in 2013.
Depp is a great actor but Tim Burton's cheap take on DS was a travesty. I could not even watch it all the way through. Nothing will ever surpass the brilliant, serious, tragic and sympathetic portrayal of Barnabas by Jonathan Frid and the superb cast of the original Dark Shadows.
A true classic! Loved this show in 68-69-70’s. Would race home from school to watch 3:30 - 4:00 pm Thrilled to find it on Free Pluto TV. To watch over and over an all-time favorite a classic dies now just this week no longer aired on Pluto TV. Please bring Dark Shadows back. Sorely missed-very disappointed. 😢
Great show, always had all kinds of crazy stuff going on; vampires, werewolves, monsters, ghosts, fiends, time travel, curses, black magic, etc... my favorite daily show after school
This SHOULD have been the final episode of the series (per John Karlen) and I agree. They had everything wrapped up here. no loose ends. The 1841 p/t was bad and unnecessary. The cast and crew were burned out, and they just wanted to get the making of 'Night of Dark Shadows' which they were obligated to make for MGM, over with.
I agree. There should have been a party at Collinwood celebrating the end of the Collins family being curse with all the characters present. Then have Carolyn come into the house seemingly attacked by a vampire and everyone wondering who could it be.😊
Wow I wonder if this was the last episode. The series ended abruptly in April 1971 while the ratings were still good. Dark Shadows' cancellation was the greatest mystery of all.
No, this isn't the last episode. The series ends in the year 1841 parallel time. Since Angelique removed the curse off Barnabas in 1840, he was never a vampire in parallel time, and had a son by Josette named Bramwell who married Daphne Harridge (Kate Jackson) but is still madly in love with her sister, Catherine (Laura Parker) and the family in parallel time are haunted by a curse placed on a room where a lottery is held and a member of the family has to spend the night in the room to either surive or come out insane. Bramwell and Catherine break the curse after Quentin, Gabriel, and Morgan fail to, and two die...Flora and Julia are spared, Julia is a real Collins in Parallel Time because she lied in the other time by saying she was Barnabas' sister. Flora, Julia, Bramwell and Catherine live happily ever after at Collinwood after breaking the curse and the only he is the only Male Collins left of the line, until their children are born. Bramwell's sister Melanie marries and moves to NY. Melanie did not know that Josette was her mother as her real father took her away from Josette to avoid scandal and forced Flora to raise her.
I've been a fan of the show for years and own the coffin box. Here is the final scene of the show. There is a clip on UA-cam that is from the slnext segment on the final set that is called Beyond the Shadows, it goes into story lines the soap opera would have taken had it stayed on the air. ua-cam.com/video/MMZFHOKvkME/v-deo.html
The show ended on a quick bit, which I still find amusing. Hated Angelique and Barnabas didn't live happily ever after, but I guess there was to be some consolation with . . . . . . Bramwell and Catherine. The Nancy Barrett character, I thought she was Melanie, she was being paired up once more with Willie Loomis, whoever he was here. Not going to try to keep the names straight, but she was attacked and brought in and placed on the couch. "Those bitemarks on her neck. They look like a wild animal or . . . a vampire bat!" Duh-duh-DUH! Then Stokes' narration comes over the rooms lit up by flashing lightning to declare it was a wild animal that bit her and they all lived happily ever after, better delivered than what I just typed.
Love Dark Shadows I wasn't allowed to watch it as I was a child ,I would somehow sneak peeks,sounds crazy after all these years,but it still terrifies me and the music is scary 😱
Even Barnabas wasn't immune to 1970's fashion. Check out his hair and sideburns when he, Julia and Professor Stokes return to then- present 1971. Compare this to how we first saw him in his first appearance.
I was 6 in 1971... My husband wasn't born until Christmas 1975... I am 10 years older than my husband... I remember Dark Shadows in the early 1970's on TV watched it with my grandmother... House in Babylon....
Watching this clip always made you wonder what was going to happen on the next episode, I miss the final week of the show because I was on summer vacation in Arizona, recently I saw the episodes I missed on UTUBE and then was somof the episodes on the SCI-FI Channel
I love dark shadows they can try to remake it on CW station but they will never be another like the Julia Magda Angelique mrs. Stoddard Carolyn Edward David Jameson Quinton OMG all of them little Sarah and oh yes Willie Loomis this show was the best I wish it could have ran from 1966 to 1980 Dan Curtis was I love all the actors of each and alll I love Grayson Hall and Don briscoe
The show was almost canceled just after 6 weeks. The ratings weren't good. Then Dan Curtis decided to put a vampire in the mix. The ratings zoomed. The more crazy stuff he added the higher the ratings. He basically ran out of crazy stuff and the ratings slipped. So he closed out the show so no one was left hanging. Barnabas was interested in going back to broadway.
Jonathan Frid saved Dark Shadows from cancellation in '67. What a brilliant actor and uniquely handsome man. I could listen to his beautiful voice forever.
@@tiamia7139Actually before Jonathan Frid they had the Phoenix storyline with Diana Millay as Laura Collins which brought up the ratings but according to Dan Curtis bringing in Jonathan as Vampire Barnabas Collins shot the ratings through the roof. Jonathan was originally going to be on D.S. for 13 weeks but his role worked out much better than planned and tons of fans loved him he stayed on for the remainder of the series.
@@bruce8808 Yes, I was aware of that but never got into the Phoenix storyline or cared much for Millays acting. I thought Grayson, Clarice and Nancy were the best actresses on that show. And little Denise Nickerson was phenomenal.
@@tiamia7139 I agree. Denise was great as Amy Jennings and Nora Collins. When she left D.S. in 1970 I wasn't too fond of Kathleen Cody as Hallie Stokes in 1995/1970 or Carrie Stokes in 1840. Denise pretty much moved on to Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as Violet Beauregard. She also had a guest appearance on The Brady Bunch as Jans friend. R.I.P. DENISE.
This show sucks you in immediately, no matter which episode you come upon.. John Karlin played such a broad range of characters on this show, didn't he?.
Someone must have deleted the longer version of this, that was once on YT. It shows Elizabeth coming in and commenting on what a warm and cozy Winter it's been and then goes back to the last we see of the 1840 storyline and the beginning of 1841PT.
4:16 These carved statues on the grandfather clock here were used as posts at the bottom of the stairs in Jerry Dandridge's manse in Fright Night. I seem to recall them saying so in the Special Features.
Is anyone watching it on the "Decades" station? For some reason they get us to where Barnabas is being cured, Roger is under a spell from Angeluque's portrait and gets rid of the picture which has disappeared only to find Angelique's picture returns and the station goes back to the beginning of Barnabas Collins. I do not know why they don't continue the series. Curious if anyone else is experiencing this?
Well, they simply jumped from the point where the 1795 or so storyline just started, to Willy about to rob Barnabas Coffen, and awaken him. Right now, they are again at the origin, where Barnabas just became a vampire.
Lara was 15 days away from her 85th Birthday. From the time she passed away I didn't find out until a year earlier that our Birthdays are on the same day, October 27th.
@@kevinpyne5808 you mentioned cagney and lacy this reminds me of another actor on the show, Jerry Lacy who played Reverend Trask another fine actor who also played the ghost of Humphrey Bogart in the Woody Allen film PLAY IT AGAIN SAM.
There used to be a longer clip of this going to when Elizabeth walks in and then they all leave for the event at the Historical Center. I guess since MPI has their subscription service channel for DS, a lot of the DS episodes and clips on You Tube have been removed. A shame.
Boy I love this show always it would scare the hell out of you Dark Shadows was wonderful Joel Carruthers Don Briscoe Jonathan Frid Angelique mrs. Stoddard Laura Collins Maggie lady Hampshire oh yes and mrs. Johnson yes ma'am Quinton hot damn in the morning he was fine Dark Shadows was awesome I hate it they canceled it it should have ran onto about 1980 or 81 Dan Curtis was brilliant then we would have had so many more reruns it should have learned long as the Jeffersons and Alice or other long-running shows like The Golden Girls Back in the Day with the props and the bats and the appearances of ghost and spooks and Angelique and those spells I know we're not supposed to watch stuff like this but this show was elegant that house was brilliant Collingwood the old Collingwood somebody burned it down that was terrible to do that but the actors and actresses were beautiful the old style Ways the Antebellum dresses I love Grayson Hall Every Roll she played Joel Crothers Willie Loomis oh yes kudos to Willie forever John Carlin rest in peace everybody that was on the show they said it was a curse behind the show maybe cause it was so spooky I don't know what Dan Curtis was into this show is an icon just like Fleetwood Mac Janis Joplin The Mamas & the Papas bread the Rolling Stones everything all the old things from the past this one is right in there with it imagine a vampire appearing in your room in a beautiful Antebellum style house not even thinking about Interview with the Vampire way back with the same sort of thirst and they were one of your family members OMG hi Cynthia Robinson if you're out there listening I know you love Dark Shadows two you could be a billionaire just like Elon Musk and the rest of them that are billionaires here and deceased you could not pay me any of your money to stay in Collingwood at any particular time at night hell to the naw👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊🥂🥂👏👏😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥳❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙉🙊 not even if you were Humpty Trump🤣🤣🤣👏 oh yes Ben Elliott Professor Stokes count patofi the blue whale Bangor and Willie and Amy and David and Oh Yes precious Carolyn perfect.

Hahaha evil cackling sweet dreams Barnabas.❤🤣
Jonathan had a terrible time remembering his lines and augmented this by his own admission of introducing the Barnabas nervous, graceful swagger. It worked.
I got to see most of the shows they did as I was home from JR high High School and some grade school years I was home to watch as I was bullied in school so stayed home most of my school years ! I have always had depression all my life being bullied did not help me !
Yes, bullies are terrible to deal with when you are a young kid I don’t know how girls deal with bullies, but as a young boy, you just have to punch them right in the mouth to stop them from intimidating you. Actor Michael Caine was bullied as a young boy and his father told him, that even if you lose the fight, it’s much better to confront the bully than to just take it from the b@st@rd meekly. I guess that’s why many parents send their kids to karate or judo classes, to even up the odds in a fight if their son or daughter is on the small side.
@@jmen4ever257 Yes, it was best NOT to tell anyone when DS was on the air, that you were a fan of the show. Years later, you can just tell people to do something anatomically impossible if they give you any static about being a DS fan. I went to a couple of the NYC Dark Shadows Festivals between 1988 and 1997. It was great seeing and getting to speak with the late, great Jonathan Frid, KLS (Maggie Evans), Lara Parker and the late Louis Edmonds; they were all very friendly and great fun to speak with.
dammmmn!!!! that Barnabas can foretell the future. he even foretell it even before he came into existence, and even before all this happens, as since 1966 through 1971.
Buenas noches, en Venezuela esta serie se llamaba ( Sombras Tenebrosas ) la pasaban en el canal 8 en los años 70 muy buena por cierto, pero no la termine de ver, por que me fui de viaje, yo tenia 11 años, si pudieras bajar las series completa y en Español latino, seria fantástico, y para no tener problemas con la obra de autor, la puedes poner, como la otra serie de tv que anda por You Tube se llama los invasores, todo se ve al revés, no se como se llama ese tipo de copia de series grabada así, ( invasores, serosavni ) gracias, saludos,,,
It actually would have been an ideal moment to end the series on when Barnabas, Julia and Prof. Stokes step through the time door to return to 1971 and to an unknown future, their fates and that of the Collins family forever remaining a mystery.
When this episode aired, all the DS fans did not know that this was the very last time we would ever see Barnabas, Dr. Hoffman, Professor Stokes and all of the other popular and even beloved contemporary DS characters. We also did not find out if Maggie Evans did or did not ever go to Windcliff for a second time. And, was the vampire Roxanne still in that locked coffin in the Old House or had she really been destroyed in 1840? Instead, Dan Curtis subjected DS fans to several months of sheer boredom as he concluded the series with the dreadful 1840 Parallel Time storyline. Years later, Lara Parker remarked at a book signing, that the 1840 PT episodes were very boring; even the DS actors knew this storyline was a loser.
@@kensellers4082 1841 PT was hastily written to wrap up the series because ABC had already made the decision to cancel Dark Shadows and replace it in the lineup with Password. They told Dan Curtis the show was going to be dropped and he was given twelve weeks to put a finish onto it.
@@LordZontar Yes, and I understand that Jonathan Frid did not want to portray a vampire anymore. He wasn’t opposed to portraying Barnabas, so long as Barnabas was not a vampire. I happened to see Joan Bennett on a local tv show in NYC several years after DS had ended. Someone asked why the show had been cancelled and she replied that the show’s writers had run out of new ideas for DS and, besides, Dan Curtis was eager to move into other projects by 1971.
Just watched all these episodes on tubi. Barnabus, had to mentally send his spirt to inhabit his resurrected body, in 1840. He thus should have had to be rechained in his coffin in the crypt, as his body awaited him back in 1971 but then again, it wasn't quite the same 1971.
Because of the complicated time travel rules I still don't get how barnabas and the others prevented the disaster in the future, judah still died in gerards body, like he could still take over his ghost like he did in the original timeline so yeah I don't get what happened to prevent that disaster.
they didn't want t travel in time willy-nilly- because they didn't exactly know where they would in up in time. or, for that matter get back home in their same timeline. but yeah, the medicine part was stupid. bring all her medicines back with her in her medical bag. that was her mistake. no real planning, just GO!! wtf??
the room.in the east wing was Quentin's room and by the way my name is Valerie and Quentin did not kill me lol ...these episodes were the lost episodes in 1971 when the show was cancelled they were not shown on the ABC network KOVR channel 13 in stockton ca or sacramento ca but were shown on KGO channel 7 in San Francisco i saw them on channel and collinwood was destroyed by earthquake's and barnabus got a stake through his heart in his coffjin
true Willie had low Self-Esteem, when he debuted he acted tough but he wasn't and his character really changed after Barnabas made him his servent. he worried more then he used to. in fact when he debuted he had the addituded of not careing about anything.
Willie Loomis was actually a more dimentional person than Desmond which is what actors strive for. Yes he was a dishonest opportunist in the beginning, but then he became Barnabas' loyal servant and later close friend. He was always trying to protect others like Maggie & Julia from Barnabas, even cared about his old friend Mc Quire, although he beat Willie. Willie was broken hearted to see McQuire killed. All in all Willie Loomis had a tender heart, even though he had the lowest status of every main character on the show.

Someone must have deleted the longer version of this, that was once on YT. It shows Elizabeth coming in and commenting on what a warm and cozy Winter it's been and then goes back to the last we see of the 1840 storyline and the beginning of 1841PT.
Who’s watching in 2021?
I watch Dark shadows every night on the decades channel and I love it.
Now watching on Pluto TV on my phone.
4:16 These carved statues on the grandfather clock here were used as posts at the bottom of the stairs in Jerry Dandridge's manse in Fright Night. I seem to recall them saying so in the Special Features.
Is anyone watching it on the "Decades" station? For some reason they get us to where Barnabas is being cured, Roger is under a spell from Angeluque's portrait and gets rid of the picture which has disappeared only to find Angelique's picture returns and the station goes back to the beginning of Barnabas Collins. I do not know why they don't continue the series. Curious if anyone else is experiencing this?
You can watch the entire series on tubi. It's free.
Well, they simply jumped from the point where the 1795 or so storyline just started, to Willy about to rob Barnabas Coffen, and awaken him. Right now, they are again at the origin, where Barnabas just became a vampire.
Tubi is free and carries it. So thrilled to find it on several platforms... what a cool show
Lara Parker "Angelique" passed away Oct 12th 2023. she will be missed.
I think we all will shed a tear for her.
Lara was 15 days away from her 85th Birthday. From the time she passed away I didn't find out until a year earlier that our Birthdays are on the same day, October 27th.
@@bruce8808. Sad passing
John Karlen was a great actor. He said acting saved him from leading the life of a thug, too.
Very unrated actor. Besides winning an Emmy on Cagey and Lacy, he was relatively unknown.
underzog I agree that he’s a great actor in ANY role he’s played in Dark Shadows, Cagney and Lacy and in any other show I’ve seen him in.
@@kevinpyne5808 you mentioned cagney and lacy this reminds me of another actor on the show, Jerry Lacy who played Reverend Trask another fine actor who also played the ghost of Humphrey Bogart in the Woody Allen film PLAY IT AGAIN SAM.
There used to be a longer clip of this going to when Elizabeth walks in and then they all leave for the event at the Historical Center. I guess since MPI has their subscription service channel for DS, a lot of the DS episodes and clips on You Tube have been removed. A shame.
There still is, I saw it recently.
Sadly a lot is pay now....
the openings and closing i've posted have not been removed - just 'marked' for copyright acknowledgement........

@4 :28, Julia, ever the fashion queen!
I wish all these episodes weren't out of context. You watch one and you're lost. Can't we get whole episodes from the beginning?
You can get the entire series off the internet.
They are all on tubi right now, I’ve been watching them myself
I whined enough to my children that I couldn’t find all the episodes and they bought me the entire series on DVD for Christmas!!!

So freakin cool!
I love John Karlen
I love dark shadows I like bananas the most
Me too
They always seem so afraid they'll forget their lines...and often do.
One of the fun parts of the show. They knew they would always get one take, and no more.
@@jeanettesmith765 Jonathan Frid suffered from dyslexia and he really struggled with his lines. Made me love him more, so funny.
Jonathan had a terrible time remembering his lines and augmented this by his own admission of introducing the Barnabas nervous, graceful swagger. It worked.
@@jeanettesmith765 I didn't know that they did their scenes in one take. It's almost like they're performing live.
@@harperstacey9604 it was "live to tape"
I got to see most of the shows they did as I was home from JR high High School and some grade school years I was home to watch as I was bullied in school so stayed home most of my school years ! I have always had depression all my life being bullied did not help me !
Same here. Glad we had shows like this to help take our mind away from the worst moments in our lives.
Yes, bullies are terrible to deal with when you are a young kid
I don’t know how girls deal with bullies, but as a young boy, you just have to punch them right in the mouth to stop them from intimidating you.
Actor Michael Caine was bullied as a young boy and his father told him, that even if you lose the fight, it’s much better to confront the bully than to just take it from the b@st@rd meekly.
I guess that’s why many parents send their kids to karate or judo classes, to even up the odds in a fight if their son or daughter is on the small side.
@@kensellers4082 One of my schooldays false friends, let everyone at my old school know I was hooked on DS, and that made me even more Uber uncool.
@@jmen4ever257
Yes, it was best NOT to tell anyone when DS was on the air, that you were a fan of the show.
Years later, you can just tell people to do something anatomically impossible if they give you any static about being a DS fan.
I went to a couple of the NYC Dark Shadows Festivals between 1988 and 1997. It was great seeing and getting to speak with the late, great Jonathan Frid, KLS (Maggie Evans), Lara Parker and the late Louis Edmonds; they were all very friendly and great fun to speak with.
dammmmn!!!! that Barnabas can foretell the future. he even foretell it even before he came into existence, and even before all this happens, as since 1966 through 1971.
you ol'Willyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!! you've should know by now that such strange things like this, and that such stranger than this, has happened.
Keep in mind when they re ran the series years later every eposide was not shown so i was not able to see it all though i wish i did .
I had a staircase like that
Was yours wider?
Buenas noches, en Venezuela esta serie se llamaba ( Sombras Tenebrosas ) la pasaban en el canal 8 en los años 70 muy buena por cierto, pero no la termine de ver, por que me fui de viaje, yo tenia 11 años, si pudieras bajar las series completa y en Español latino, seria fantástico, y para no tener problemas con la obra de autor, la puedes poner, como la otra serie de tv que anda por You Tube se llama los invasores, todo se ve al revés, no se como se llama ese tipo de copia de series grabada así, ( invasores, serosavni ) gracias, saludos,,,
My older cousins had psychedelic rooms like that at the top of the stairs back in 1971, too. Hmm...
1873 - 53rd & Norton Back of the Yards Lake Township Chicago. (98 years ago)
1873 + 98 = 1971
Do you know where the rest of this ep can be found?
you ol' Willyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! now you've known better that a lot of such strange like this, and even strangest than this has happened.
Excellent series , is there a fan club
There are lots on Facebook.
Paul Kelly Google dark shadows fan club.

What episode #was this???
It actually would have been an ideal moment to end the series on when Barnabas, Julia and Prof. Stokes step through the time door to return to 1971 and to an unknown future, their fates and that of the Collins family forever remaining a mystery.
I totally agree!
When this episode aired, all the DS fans did not know that this was the very last time we would ever see Barnabas, Dr. Hoffman, Professor Stokes and all of the other popular and even beloved contemporary DS characters.
We also did not find out if Maggie Evans did or did not ever go to Windcliff for a second time. And, was the vampire Roxanne still in that locked coffin in the Old House or had she really been destroyed in 1840?
Instead, Dan Curtis subjected DS fans to several months of sheer boredom as he concluded the series with the dreadful 1840 Parallel Time storyline.
Years later, Lara Parker remarked at a book signing, that the 1840 PT episodes were very boring; even the DS actors knew this storyline was a loser.
@@kensellers4082 1841 PT was hastily written to wrap up the series because ABC had already made the decision to cancel Dark Shadows and replace it in the lineup with Password. They told Dan Curtis the show was going to be dropped and he was given twelve weeks to put a finish onto it.
@@LordZontar
Yes, and I understand that Jonathan Frid did not want to portray a vampire anymore. He wasn’t opposed to portraying Barnabas, so long as Barnabas was not a vampire.
I happened to see Joan Bennett on a local tv show in NYC several years after DS had ended. Someone asked why the show had been cancelled and she replied that the show’s writers had run out of new ideas for DS and, besides, Dan Curtis was eager to move into other projects by 1971.
53rd & Norton in the Back of the Yards in 1873.
Before the Depression.
Excuse me but what is the significance of 1873 53rd & Norton Chicago
sometimes confusing...but interesting.
🌞🌞🌞💕💕💖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
psychedelic door!!
Very 60s ish
1873 53rd & Norton Chicago
Excuse me but what is the significance of 1873 53rd & Norton Chicago
Just watched all these episodes on tubi. Barnabus, had to mentally send his spirt to inhabit his resurrected body, in 1840. He thus should have had to be rechained in his coffin in the crypt, as his body awaited him back in 1971 but then again, it wasn't quite the same 1971.
I was 14 wheb Dark Shadows went off the air ! I was 10 when it first came on TV !
Yeah. I was around the same age too.
Because of the complicated time travel rules I still don't get how barnabas and the others prevented the disaster in the future, judah still died in gerards body, like he could still take over his ghost like he did in the original timeline so yeah I don't get what happened to prevent that disaster.
As the shows most uttered line goes, "There must be a logical explanation for all of this."
@@rockyracoon3233 indeed
they didn't want t travel in time willy-nilly- because they didn't exactly know where they would in up in time. or, for that matter get back home in their same timeline. but yeah, the medicine part was stupid. bring all her medicines back with her in her medical bag. that was her mistake. no real planning, just GO!! wtf??
the room.in the east wing was Quentin's room and by the way my name is Valerie and Quentin did not kill me lol ...these episodes were the lost episodes in 1971 when the show was cancelled they were not shown on the ABC network KOVR channel 13 in stockton ca or sacramento ca but were shown on KGO channel 7 in San Francisco i saw them on channel and collinwood was destroyed by earthquake's and barnabus got a stake through his heart in his coffjin
Did you realize how handsome you were ?
I thought Barbas Killed Trask
He did. But Revered Trask of 1795 had a son, and that son had another son, the Trask lineage goes all the way to 1967/68 with Tony Peterson.
Who is Barbas???
@@jensmom604 they meant barnabas.
Desmond was one of my favorite characters of John's! I think I like him more than Willie
Desmond was more outgoing where Willie was more of an introvert with low self esteem. John Karlen was a dynamic actor.
true Willie had low Self-Esteem, when he debuted he acted tough but he wasn't and his character really changed after Barnabas made him his servent. he worried more then he used to. in fact when he debuted he had the addituded of not careing about anything.
Willie Loomis was actually a more dimentional person than Desmond which is what actors strive for. Yes he was a dishonest opportunist in the beginning, but then he became Barnabas' loyal servant and later close friend. He was always trying to protect others like Maggie & Julia from Barnabas, even cared about his old friend Mc Quire, although he beat Willie. Willie was broken hearted to see McQuire killed. All in all Willie Loomis had a tender heart, even though he had the lowest status of every main character on the show.
Andrew Dallas--He was just that, dynamic! I heard he was not the original Willie Loomis!
Desmond Collins was definitely the strongest of John Karlen's DS characters.
wtf?
Great show but the acting was so bad.
This should have been the final .
