perhaps true, but all put together he looks fierce, slim , graceful but manly gestures. it is amazing what make-up and lighting can do, plus the perfect well fitting gray suit and the pointy bangs, who else could wear that style? Also of course his demeanor, a gentleman and quiet but always a threat, predator. All of that is hot, unlike other vampires in the movies. I do agree about Angelique, he becomes unhinged around her, and I seriously doubt [looks wise] he would have preferred Josette to Angelique.
I personally loved Josette looks wise over Angelique when I was a kid watching this show every day at 4 pm... Angelique was beautiful and a better actress, but, I just liked Josette. As far as Barnabus' looks, I don't think he can be replaced by anyone. He has always been my very favorite vampire and I think he was a very handsome man and truly one of a kind. He had the ability to say so much with just an expression and so many expressions he had. I feel confident in saying that one of the biggest reasons they haven't been able to bring this show back is because there is no one who can take his place. But, who knows these days. Most people that watched this show were my age and older so there's not that many younger people that may care as much. Maybe they'll try Justin Beiber lol. Wouldn't that just kill it.
Yes I agree with everything you say. I do think he was very handsome. I also agree nobody could replace him. When he captured Maggie in his basement he looked so cruel, insane, possessed, putting her in the coffin was beyond evil. I never cared for her but I was ready to help her at that point and turn against him no matter what he had in store for me. However at the hospital when Vickie visited him , to break off their engagement, he looked so endearing and sweet, hard to believe it was the same man, but it was. Justin Beiber is a joke.
If you don't want purchase it on Amazon. Just go to tubitv.com and in the search area, type in Dark Shadows and it will come up. You can tap on to each episode and watch it from the beginning. I watch an episode at least every other day, when I have time. Enjoy, I do. Ms. L. Churchill
I liked it that they made Barnabas so "formal," in the sense that he always wore a tie, even while lounging around in that shiny bathrobe. I think the only times (at least in the present) he didn't wear a tie was when he was talking to Dr. Lang in the hospital room while wearing pajamas and when he wore an ascot to prevent Julia from seeing Angelique's bite marks.
As no one knew back in 1967 that 1,224 episodes of "Dark Shadows" would be shown years later in reruns (a 1971 episode is lost due to the ending of kinescope usage) be available on first videotape, followed by DVD and Blu-Ray, the inconsistencies with the storylines would be both common and unattended to by both the writers and viewers. Unless viewers really paid attention, no one would have been able to nitpick those inconsistencies, after all, it was a daily soap opera. So, in accordance with what the writers and Dan Curtis were outlining at that time, Barnabas first became a vampire through some unknown source in 1822, Sarah, being about two or three years younger than Barnabas, would have died at age nine in 1796, Barnabas would be the one solely responsible for Josette 's death and Jeremiah Collins would not only outlive Josette, but would have probably helped Joshua chain Barnabas in his coffin, and, judging from how the brick wall looked across from Barnabas' coffin in the Old House basement looked at this point in time, the remains of Reverend Trask would not be behind it. So, for this purpose, Barnabas knew about a shaman who performed what he did.
But, then again, this is Episode 358. The series was eight episodes away from the 1795 storyline and two more after that from the introduction of Angelique. So, Barnabas might have told that story about the indigenous man from Barbados to both impress Carolyn and keep hidden all the amount of powers that he knew.
He's making that warlock story up to impress Carolyn as he had no knowledge of witchcraft until he found out what Angelique was- this ritual he's using now he probably found in an occult book in his library.
No. Remember that this episode precedes the whole 1795 storyline and this is a daily soap opera here. Scripts got cranked out like sausages and there was little time or concern to maintain continuity with every little detail in episodes that fall further back into production and viewing history. Audiences in 1968 had no reruns or videos to refer to, and would not remember one little scene out of several months worth of daily episodes. Details blur and there are all manner of continuity errors which viewers then wouldn't even be aware of, and the writers wouldn't care. They're trying to keep up with the production schedule for the week and are literally handing the day's script to the actors for preliminary rehersal before getting back to work on tomorrow's episode. So what if one episode six months ago has Barnabas telling his story of learning black magic from a witch doctor in Barbados? Chances are the writer completely forgot about it the week after and its six months later and he's trying to write the backstory for Josette's crazy maid with the voodoo hobby who's in love with Barnabas. He's going to concentrate on today's script, not struggle to remember some little scene he wrote six months ago or whenever and has nothing to do with today.
@@LordZontar You're right. They got so lost in the story at one point that they had to go outside the studio where the fans waited and ask them what was happening. One of them knew, too!
As a novice remembering as a teen in the eighties when this show was introduced , daily because of the controversy with one actress, I believe Victoria involved with a high profile murder case in Europe the public then was fascinated with and one summr I was introduced to this soap And it is adorable and one of a kind for back then daily soap operas that pale in comparison
flybynight No, while technically, this was the first time Barnabas used black magic onscreen, chronologically, the first time Barnabas used black magic was to bring Josette back from the dead. The second time was to scare and later capture Reverend Trask in revenge for having Vicki (Phyllis Wick) falsely found guilty of witchcraft.
They had chromakey and A/B video mixing. Barnabas teleported into Dr. Woodard's office on the night of his murder and a pre-Barnabas episode had Josette's ghost appear for the first time in the ruined Old House. But back then it was a bit of an effort to set up properly so it was a lot easier and quicker for this scene to have the disappearance occur off-screen and for Carolyn to react to it.
I wish Barnabas would have mentioned the secret number that unlocks all the secrets of the universe. Just a hint would have been good enough, like the number of digits in this magical number.
Maybe that $2.3 million Mega Millions Lottery winner up in Maine also knows the “secret magic number of the universe”? Heck, maybe it IS Barnabas who won the Mega Millions 1.5 billion prize up there?
Nancy never struggled with remembering lines or missing cues. What a pro.
this show was the greatest show to ever grace the tv screen with out a doubt.
Barnabas has too much free time on his hands. Gives him the opportunity to dive into black magic too.
Love the way Barnabas speaks. People today need to learn proper speaking from his character.
Yes Barnabas was a proper gentleman and spoke so correctly, I myself am trying to implement Barnabas speak into my daily talking
@@donaldallen5748 I admire how Barnabas speaks so eloquently.
Barnabas Collins: “Serenity is my favorite emotion.”
Ppl back then spoke in complete sentences. There were no like um, like ums........nowutamsayin.
"You represent a threat to me, so I can no longer allow you to continue your existence."
Barnabas bought the jacket from Hugh Hefner's garage sale.
LMAO!! Too hilarious-thank you!
I wonder if Barnabas subscribed to “Playboy Magazine” for the articles, of course?
Barnabas Collins: not just a vampire, but a swami too. Who knew?
I wonder where Barnabas bought that awesome robe. I further wonder where he gets any money.
I got the idea he sent Willie to Bangor to sell old jewels.
Barnabas reportedly also bet heavily on the great Boston Celtic teams of Bill Russell, JoJo White and John “Hondo” Havlicek.
Johnny Depp can't touch Jonathan Fried as Barnabas no matter how many times he tapes his bangs.
never saw a scary man look so good

He had a special quality for this character that is hard to express in words.
I have a robe just like Barnabas has. It's in my closet with all the other skeletons.
I love that robe. Did he go to store and buy it in 1966? Or was it from 1795?
Barnabas bought it on sale at Brewster’s Department Store, located in beautiful downtown Collinsport, Maine.
"my poor uneducated child..." that is beautiful....
Nancy who played Caroline was such a great actress, she played other characters in the show and she did very what a great beautiful...❤
Thanks so much for uploading. More please when u can
"..my poor uneducated child...!" Haa..haa.haaaa....!
How is it that dark shadows is blocked in America. It was a good show .please bring it back.
The entire series is available on Amazon Prime video.

The incantation is barely audible, but then they can't have their audience complaining it didn't work for them.
And besides, knowing one cantrip hardly means he's adept at black magic.

This is the only time Barnabas did "black/dark magic"
flybynight No, while technically, this was the first time Barnabas used black magic onscreen, chronologically, the first time Barnabas used black magic was to bring Josette back from the dead. The second time was to scare and later capture Reverend Trask in revenge for having Vicki (Phyllis Wick) falsely found guilty of witchcraft.
I think the thing with Trask was just regular vampire powers
I guess it was an unlisted magical number.
Holy teleportation Batman!!!
Goodbye, Trask!
The number is 42.
Barnabas obviously forgot his lines at 1:46.
He really strugged ALL THE TIME..
@@lindalcoomes Right, Frid and Joan Bennett always were constantly forgetting their lines.
@@lindalcoomes ikr? It's painful to watch sometimes
@@melodiefrances3898
Painful, but fun!

This episode must have been before they perfected the art of chromakey, otherwise we would have seen Barnabas phase out of the room.
They had chromakey and A/B video mixing. Barnabas teleported into Dr. Woodard's office on the night of his murder and a pre-Barnabas episode had Josette's ghost appear for the first time in the ruined Old House. But back then it was a bit of an effort to set up properly so it was a lot easier and quicker for this scene to have the disappearance occur off-screen and for Carolyn to react to it.
I doubt Carolyn was raised uneducated as Barnabas claimed. However, she was an airhead.
Well, uneducated by the standards of his time, and certainly so regarding mythology and witchcraft.
Well, Carolyn DID date Buzz Hackett, the widely acknowledged “savant” of Collinsport, Maine.
SPOILER ALERT-
His spell will cause Doctor Hoffmann to be "haunted" by tbe "ghost" of her late Doctor friend who Barnabas forced her to murder.
I wish Barnabas would have mentioned the secret number that unlocks all the secrets of the universe. Just a hint would have been good enough, like the number of digits in this magical number.
Maybe that $2.3 million Mega Millions Lottery winner up in Maine also knows the “secret magic number of the universe”?
Heck, maybe it IS Barnabas who won the Mega Millions 1.5 billion prize up there?
It's a secret.
This series was so fucking bad
