and i guess along, i knew it would be!!! dark shadows 1966-71 is the only dark shadows. period.!!! THERE IS NO.. nor...EVER CAN BE a "revival" of the original...sorry! "revival" was a VERY forgettable attempt by dan curtis (genius) to desparately cling on to an old idea...and i don't blame him, cause it' is my favorite show of all time, but by the 90's, the people and the mood was altogether different fom the 60's...cast and acting not of 66-71 caliber, destined to fail because of that alone...was time to seal the old coffin up 1n 1971...and not be disturbed in '90 or '91 or whenever the heck it was.

Unfortunately, the network pulled the plug too soon. I'm so glad I was able to find this series on DVD.

If you liked the original "Dark Shadows" series (1966 - 1971), also available on DVD, you'll love this box set. When "Dark Shadows" producer and creator, Dan Curtis, revised the gothic horror classic in 1990 / 1991, he employed first class production standards and a bevy of wonderful and diverse actors,such as Ben Cross and Joanna Going, to play the parts of the tragic Collins family of Collinsport, Maine. The result is that the 13 episodes were wonderful, but couldn't survive the Friday night time slot opposite the 1991 Gulf War. Thus, the series ends abruptly, but it doesn't take away from this dark, brooding and sexy tale of 200 year old vampire, Barnabas Collins. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes the gothic horrow genre or who is a DS fan. Also check out Dan Curtis's 1976 version of "Dracula" staring Jack Palance.

I never watched the original Dark Shadows until I was an adult and rented the DVDs. That being said, I found this revival series extremely entertaining & creepy...the effects are above average, and the acting is not too bad. I actually found the chemistry between Ben Cross [Barnabas] & Joanna Going [Victoria Winters] more real than the romance between the original Barnabas [Jonathan Frid] & Ms Winters. Yes, at times, Ben Cross does seem to exaggerate his acting, but overall the quality of the revival series is pretty good, and the updates make it seem less cheesy and more believable...the set, make-up and costumes are all done effectively well in the revival series. Its a pity the show didnt last long, there are so many more recent supernatural shows out there that are much worse & of less quality than this one.

Loved the series, and it was a great story . But the ending was a great let down when considering the lead up to the end.It left you in the air ( so to speak) Apart from the that an enjoyable show.
