Dark Shadows July 27, 2008
Being a long time fan of Dark Shadows it is hard to just say one word to describe it. DS is not something that just passed by in the wind, it actually catches the most utter nerve of attention possible. To say the least, Dark Shadows is not the best put together television show, but it's history, story and actors bring Barnabas Collins alive in the best way possible, and twist the imagination of the early years.

I say give it a try, if you don't like it; well, you haven't lost anything. However if you love it, you will have something to remember for years to come. Now what's greater?

Maggie Evans is fighting for her life... June 24, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

In this collection we have Maggie Evans trying to escape from the basement of the Old House, a young ghost playing ball, a costume party in which Victoria is put into a trance, and we start to find out the secrets of many of the characters, from Elizabeth Collins Stoddard to Barnabas Collins himself. Includes interviews and is really worth the money, new or used. Vampire fans has to have this in their library.

And it just keeps getting better! January 6, 2007

The first season was good - but the second season is even better. The storyline is more involved and the introduction of Grayson Hall as Dr. Julia Hoffman is a major plus. She is a classic actress and plays the role of Maggie's mysterious doctor brilliantly. Though Maggie Evans is still a key player in the second season, the show doesn't revolve around her as much, (which is good as her screaming and whining get a bit irritating), and the other characters' roles are better defined. And of course Jonathan Frid is always perfect in the role of Barnabas Collins. I can't wait to start watching the third collection.

DARK SHADOWS - DVD COLLECTION 2 November 21, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

The chills continue! Dark Shadows DVD Collection 2 is great and you can feel the momentum and the suspense building as you watch it.Maggie Evans escapes from the Old House basement where Barnabas as her kidnapped, with the help of his younger sister Sarah.Dr.Julia Hoffman is introduced as Maggie's physician and quickly figures out the secret of Barnabas Collins.Jason McGuire meets his demise when Barnabas hand reaches out from the coffin and grabs his throat! Also,Barnabas as his eyes on Victoria Winters becoming his new Josette!
In this collection some old storylines came to an end thereby giving way to the momentum for the next stories to build up suspensfully.The best episodes in this collection are #260-where Maggie escapes from Barnabas, #271-when Elizabeth reveals what happened at Collinwood 18 years ago,#281-where Victoria relieves the death of Josette and #290-where Barnabas comes to Julia's room to strangle her and surprisedly finds Julia waiting for him.These episodes are all frightfully scary!
MPI should have done some restoration work on these or cleaned them up a bit,but the episodes are in good condition considering the time(1967) and the age of the prints,as well as the audio.There are also bonus interviews with Dan Curtis(Creator & executive Producer),Nancy Barrett(Carolyn Stoddard),Dennis Patrick(Jason McGuire) and Alexandra Moltke(Victoria Winters).The voice-over-"My name is Victoria Winters..." is heard for the last time in this collection.
The disappointment here is there are no English subtitles and the episodes are not close-captioned.
Jonathan Frid is superb as Barnabas Collins,as always;and casting Grayson Hall as Dr.Julia Hoffman was a stroke of genius! The rest of the cast are great in their respective roles.
I will always have memories from my childhood of running home when school was out to sit in front of a black and white television set to watch DARK SHADOWS!
