Dark Shadows: The Beginning


For the first time on DVD, this collection of the spooky series' rare, early episodes before Barnabas Collins! Dark Shadows: The Beginning #5 includes 35 episodes, #144 - #178 which originally aired from January 12, 1967 to March 1, 1967.


Memorable moments in this volume include when Elizabeth Collins Stoddard orders Laura to leave Collinwood, but Laura secretly visits Elizabeth while she sleeps and places her in a trance. Laura warns Victoria that she will take control of her son, David Collins, but becomes frightened when the ghost of Josette Collins appears to her. Against Roger Collins' wishes, a psychic investigator, Dr. Peter Guthrie, is called in to examine the strange occurrences at Collinwood and a seance is held. And, yes...it's just the beginning.



Bonus features include new interviews with actress Diana Millay, author/horror expert Leonard Wolf and writers Ron Sproat and Malcolm Marmorstein, all collected in a 4-disc set.
