The Story of Barnabas Collins

In 1760, young Barnabas Collins and his wealthy family move from Liverpool to Maine, where they found the town of Collinsport and build Collinwood Mansion. Years later, Barnabas becomes engaged to Josette, after ending an affair with the servant Angelique, who is secretly a witch.

The furious Angelique curses Barnabas and turns him into a vampire, and the townspeople bury him alive. In 1972, a construction crew accidentally sets him free, and Barnabas drinks their blood to regain his strength.

Michelle Pfeiffer plays the family matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, Helena Bonham Carter plays the live-in psychiatrist Dr. Julia Hoffman, and Eva Green plays Angelique Bouchard. Jackie Earle Haley plays caretaker Willie Loomis, Jonny Lee Miller plays Roger Collins, Chloë Grace Moretz plays Carolyn Stoddard and Bella Heathcote plays both Victoria Winters and Josette du Pres.

From Soap Opera to Tim Burton Film

Dan Curtis created the original Dark Shadows, a gothic soap opera of the 1960s and 1970s, and the Dark Shadows movie brings its vampire hero to the big screen, with a score by Danny Elfman.

Warner Bros. released Dark Shadows (2012) in US theaters on May 11, and it arrived on DVD and Blu-ray in the US on October 2, 2012. Owning the Dark Shadows DVD means Barnabas and the Collins family are always ready for a Halloween movie night.
