Rating:  - My early '90's obsession!
In 1966, Dan Curtis introduced the world to an 18th century vampire named Barnabas Collins who shook up daytime television for nearly five years. The show, "Dark Shadows", is unquestionably a cult classic.
In 1991, Barnabas Collins was revived in a completely new version of the show, going from daytime soap to nighttime soap, with a far superior budget and an outstanding cast. Some characters changed, some seemed very much the same. There were similar plot lines and seemingly new ones. ... Read More
Rating: - Bought by accident...but to my surprise!!!!
I bought the 'Dark Shadows: The Revival', as a joined bonus for buying the 'Dark Angel' (starring Jessica Alba) series. What I thought I was buying was the 1960's 'Dark Shadows' series, what I got...was something quite different. At first, I was a little bit disappointed, I have always loved the 'Dark Shadows' series from the '60's (I caught the DVD version about 5 years ago, as, I am not old enough to remember the series on TV itself). I did decide to keep the series though, because I felt that it ... Read More
Rating: - Dark Shadows Revival - SUPERB!
Having been a huge fan of the original series I had a hard time watching the revival, when it first came out in 1991. Ben Cross as Barnabas was a tough one. But after episode 1, the revival was the series to beat.
I have no idea why this series was canceled! It had all the ingredients for success - absolutely stellar casting. In some cases better than the original(Ben Cross, Roy Thinness, Stefan Gierasch) - I mean it just doesn't get any better! I thought the plot through-line was much ... Read More
Rating:  - Disappointing
There was very little that I liked about the revival of Dark Shadows. Jean Simmons was really good as Elizabeth Collins Stoddard and I liked Joanna Going as Victoria Winters. Jim Fyfe's portrayal of Willie Loomis was different but amusing. These were the good points.
I hated Ben Cross as Barnabas Collins! I realize that anyone would have a difficult time filling Jonathan Frid's shoes but when I watched this revival I found myself praying that he'd get staked! As for Barbara Steele, she's a good ... Read More
Rating: - 2 THUMBS UP! + A BAG OF CHIPS
When I was a kid either 9 or 10 years old more or less I always watched Dark Shadow in the 60's about a werewolf ripping his bed sheets (or something like that) and that's the last thing that I remember. I always love horror flicks, Dark Shadow Remake I only watched 1 or 2 episodes a few years ago man, I wish I should had watched all of them the first time!, Now It's been 3 years from the DVD release and finally bought it yesterday from Target with a 2 pack for $19.99 Dark Shadow The Revival and Dark ...
