The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

Night is drawing nearer and nearer to Collinwood. Another man has come—a stranger who is not a stranger. Everyone pushes Willie Loomis around, like a scarecrow, and he only makes it worse busting Barnabas Collins from his casket. That’s Barnabas, looking as if he were alive, posing next to his ancient portrait at the foot of the stairs. Barnabas Collins, source of my childhood nightmares, rolls the “r” in “Victoria” with a lilt, a graceful excess, prim and courtly and swallowing blood. _________________________ Over drinks at The Blue Whale, Burke spends half an episode apologizing to Carolyn, who walks out when the samba music starts. Two great houses in Collinwood, Barnabas compares one to the pyramids of Egypt: “The plaster walls were made from crushed clamshells and horsehair.” Joe, distracted at The Blue Whale, keeps seeing that little calf drained of his blood (but doesn’t seem to notice the half-shell ashtrays).

In its heyday, the original “Dark Shadow”s daytime series (ABC-TV, 1966-1971) attracted 20 million viewers. The spooky, literate, romance and horror-driven show had universal appeal —and came to be known as the program “kids ran home from school Courtesy Amazon to watch.” Jim Dixon Fanboys Examiner | Follow: View all 4 photos Related Photo: She and Jim Pierson have previously collaborated on five top-selling books about Dark Shadows and a coffee table book about the career of its creator, the late producer-director Dan Curtis. Their latest collaboration is “Dark Shadows: Return to Collinwood,” an in-depth look at five decades of the classic Gothic horror soap opera that made sympathetic vampire Barnabas Collins a pop culture phenomenon and prompted the big- screen revival starring longtime fan Johnny Depp, directed by Tim Burton. You don’t have to talk to Kathryn Leigh Scott long to realize she’s intelligent, cultured and sophisticated.

The house is located near the town of CollinsportMaine, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Almost every resident of the town is too scared to even drive by the house due to rumors and legends. The house has more than 40 rooms, most of which are closed off due to lack of inhabitants and House of Dark Shadows reasons, and more than a few secret passageways, including a room that is a gateway to a parallel timeline, a stairway through time, and one room that appears to be a playroom to some, and nothing more than a linen closet to others. Most of the household activity is centered in the drawing room and foyer and sometimes the kitchen, dining room, and study. Collinwood has, throughout its history, seemed to upset and anger its inhabitants and anyone else who is unfortunate enough to step over the threshold and through the enormous oak front doors. It has been the scene of much death, random violence, and other such misfortune. Most local people find it easier to just avoid it and the Collins family altogether. The following rooms appeared on-screen House of Dark Shadows the run of the original series:.

  • The Great Old Ones and the Collins Family
    The Great Old Ones and the Collins Family By Frank Schildiner With special thanks to Rick Lai for his work on the Leviathan/Yig Cult and advice since the writing of this article. The television show Dark Shadows presented to viewers a fictionalized account of a family steeped in the world of the occult and the mystical. A more detailed examination of the root cause of the Collins family of Collinsport, Maine presents far deeper connections to the mystic world that often intersects with the Wold Newton Universe. The Collins family moved to the lands later known as Collinsport in 1690. Isaac Collins moved to an unoccupied area known as Frenchman's Bay and claimed the area, later starting a fishing fleet that formed the basis for the Collins family fortune. His brother, Amadeus Collins, arrived a short time later and became involved in local politics, centering in the Bedford community. Amadeus sat as one of three judges, trying and condemning a warlock named Judah Zachery. This would be the root cause for the Collins family's becoming one of the foremost family's in the world of the occult. Judah Zachery was a powerful and feared warlock who was the leader of a hidden coven that secretly worshipped the legendary beings known as the Old Ones. Under the guise of Satanic worship, Zachery created a false coven with the intention of using these followers as sacrifices to the Old Ones. But the true coven was smaller and far more dedicated to the true goals. Who were these followers? Research has revealed Judah Zachery's circle consisted of himself and three other men known as Joseph Curwen, Simon Orne and Edward Hutchinson.
