Editorial Review: Product Description: The Start of a Legend! Named One of TV s Top 25 Cult Shows by TV Guide With its alluring tales of Gothic mystery and supernatural intrigue, DARK SHADOWS (1966-71, ABC-TV) became one of the most popular daytime series of all time. The character of Barnabas Collins, a guilt-ridden, 175-year-old vampire, brought the show tremendous success. Now, for the first time on DVD, MPI presents the spooky series rare, early episodes before Barnabas. When Victoria Winters searches the Old House for David Collins, she is abducted and held captive by Matthew Morgan, the Collinses fugitive caretaker who is hiding following the death of family friend Bill Malloy. A massive search is held to find Victoria. An angry and jealous Joe Haskell fights with Burke Devlin after he catches Carolyn Stoddard, his girlfriend, with Burke in his room at the Collinsport Inn. A mysterious woman visits the diner and asks waitress Maggie Evans about the Collins family. The ghost of Josette Collins appears to Matthew and attempts to protect Victoria. Sam Evans reveals to a stunned Roger Collins that Roger s estranged wife, Laura, has returned. Sam begins to paint a bizarre portrait of a woman surrounded by flames, which he cannot explain. Burke hopes to get Laura to clear him of the manslaugter charge that sent him to prison. Laura tells her son, David, the story of the immortal creature known as a Phoenix and he has a terrifying nightmare about his mother. Special Features: New interviews with actress Diana Millay (Laura Collins), writer Malcolm Marmorstein and producer Robert Costello. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ClassicDark Shadows The Beginning collection 4--Before Barabas Collins--Its more a Gothic type romance heading towards the Supernatural--Louis Edmounds as Roger Collins shines. Rating:  - more Dark Shadows funAlthough the original fascination of seeing my childhood memories spring to life on the screen has somewhat faded, the interesting storyline still has me hooked. What will happen with David? Why is Sam's painting taking such a strange turn? Poor Victoria is uncertain about her past. It's still fun to watch. H. Dougherty Rating: - Rising From The ShadowsHere's where it starts to get GOOD! In this volume of the 60s gothic horror soap, the show finally stops dancing around the subject and embraces the supernatural. In the process the show saves itself and starts to lay the groundwork for its cult popularity. Two characters emerge here--the ghost of Josette Collins and Laura Collins, The Phoenix--both of whom will be pivotal in future storylines. While this volume also deals with some of the show's primary (and plodding) non-supernatural plots, you'll ...

This is the part where David Collins mother shows up in the always twisting story lines. Highly recommend this video collection. Rating:  - The Pheonix is rising! THe Pheonix episodes are some of my favorites of the pre-Barnabus DS. I am not sure if this set will include the final episode of the Pheonix storyline, but that whole plot benefitted greatly by the enormous acting talents of one ten year old actor named David Hennesy. That finale where he runs from the burning cottage and into Victoria's arms, sobbing and screaming---and you realize it was videotaped LIVE and only ONCE! The actors did not have a chance at retakes. And there were several times througout ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
