Product Description
With its alluring tales of Gothic mystery and supernatural intrigue Dark Shadows became one of the most popular daytime series of all time. Since first airing on ABC-TV from 1966-71 Dark Shadows has earned the reputation as being one of the most unusual and enduring programs in television history. The character of Barnabas Collins a guilt-ridden 175 year-old vampire brought the show tremendous success. In 1970 Daphne Harridge pleads with the evil ghost of Gerard Stiles begging him to spare the children at Collinwood from harm. Dr. Julia Hoffman and Willie Loomis discover the identity of the vampire that has been attacking Maggie Evans. Sebastian Shaw declares that Gerard s ghost will take over Collinwood. Using the stairway through time Julia escapes to the year 1840 and anxiously awaits Barnabas Collins to join her posing as his sister. Desmond Collins shows servant Ben Stokes the mysterious and magical head of Judah Zachery. Lamar Trask enlists psychic Leitica Faye to use her powers to find out the fate of his father Reverend Trask who disappeared in 1795. Using the name Valerie as an alias Angelique the witch returns and learns that Barnabas has been released from his coffin. She warns him that unless they live together as man and wife she will cause his true love Roxanne Drew to become a vampire.

1840 Top Notch May 4, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As the story moves back to 1840, the writing, acting and production all markedly improve to the best they have been on the series thus far, though perhaps not as dearly remembered as the 1795 or 1897 storylines. The disembodied head of Judah Zachary is easily the most disturbing horror element the show has seen. Sadly, episode 1109 is Kathryn Leigh Scott's last.

This series is simply phenomenal. Thank you MPI for bringing these episodes to DVD and keeping Dark Shadows alive after 40 years. And thank you Dan Curtis for your brilliant imagination. You'll be missed.
Dark Shadows: A Cult Classic November 29, 2006

This series is a wonderful example of type. The caveats are that the viewer must like the subject (vampires and other Gothic stuff)and "old" presentations. It's nice because the language is inoffensive as are the actions of the characters (unless one is offended by the subject-matter, in which case, one isn't watching it anyway). The story is compelling, and one is drawn to the characters. For myself, it was the only "soap opera" I have ever watched - and I did, on a regular basis. I felt deprived if I had to miss an episode, and I taped them all. It is a thoroughly engaging series.
