Dark Shadows - 20 Barnabas Collins Episodes (1966) DVD

The inspiration for Tim Burton’s feature film, Dark Shadows began as one of the most popular daytime series of all time, with its alluring tales of Gothic mystery and supernatural intrigue. Since first airing from 1966-71, Dark Shadows has earned the reputation of being one of the most unusual and enduring programmes in television history and the character of Barnabas Collins, a guilt-ridden, 175 year-old vampire, brought the show tremendous success. Released from his chained coffin after nearly 200 years, Barnabas Collins arrives at the Collinwood estate claiming to be a relative from England. Although noticing Barnabas’ resemblance to his “ancestor” in the foyer portrait, the Collins family does not realize he is the same Barnabas who lived at Collinwood in the 18th Century. As Barnabas moves into the Old House at the property, those around him are unaware of the horrors that will soon follow.
