Customer Reviews

Barnabas Collins first in collection 6
I have been renting the Dark Shadows beginning DVD collections from Netflix and collection 6 is the first time we see Barnabas Collins, the vampire. It's also the first set to be in color. I have read that Collection 16 is the best so I have that one on my wish list to buy. The others I will continue to rent because I dont have room to store all these DVDs. If you do there is a great special of the entire collection for only $200. Check for it on Amazon. Like everyone else I first saw a glimps of this show when I was 12. I just recalled the series lately and looked it up. I am enjoying it very much. I am from Maine and the references to Bangor and the coastal areas seem familiar to me, As do the characters. Even 30 years later, The storyline still seems current and not forced. I guess that's why it's still around.

Gothic Romance Revisited
I was only 11 years old when Dark Shadows went off the air. I was still a big fan. When PBS started broadcasting episodes during the 1980's, I was hooked all over again! For anyone who saw the original and enjoyed it, the DVD's are excellent. The quality is amazing and the interviews are priceless. Reintroduce yourself to a piece of nostalgia.

Dark Shadows - Gothic Soap Opera
The first gothic soap opera. Vintage TV, circa 1968-69. Very entertaining. A lot of mistakes were caught on film because it was very costly back then to do retakes, but that just adds to it's charm. Wide range of characters that are interesting. Hold your interests all the way through. I highly recommend!
