The Start of a Legend!
Named One of TV s Top 25 Cult Shows by TV Guide
With its alluring tales of Gothic mystery and supernatural intrigue, DARK SHADOWS (1966-71, ABC-TV) became one of the most popular daytime series of all time. The character of Barnabas Collins, a guilt-ridden, 175-year-old vampire, brought the show tremendous success. Now, for the first time on DVD, MPI presents the spooky series rare, early episodes before Barnabas.
When Victoria Winters searches the Old House for David Collins, she is abducted and held captive by Matthew Morgan, the Collinses fugitive caretaker who is hiding following the death of family friend Bill Malloy. A massive search is held to find Victoria. An angry and jealous Joe Haskell fights with Burke Devlin after he catches Carolyn Stoddard, his girlfriend, with Burke in his room at the Collinsport Inn. A mysterious woman visits the diner and asks waitress Maggie Evans about the Collins family.
The ghost of Josette Collins appears to Matthew and attempts to protect Victoria. Sam Evans reveals to a stunned Roger Collins that Roger s estranged wife, Laura, has returned. Sam begins to paint a bizarre portrait of a woman surrounded by flames, which he cannot explain. Burke hopes to get Laura to clear him of the manslaugter charge that sent him to prison. Laura tells her son, David, the story of the immortal creature known as a Phoenix and he has a terrifying nightmare about his mother.

Rising From The Shadows
A Customer Review by music man
Here's where it starts to get GOOD! In this volume of the 60s gothic horror soap, the show finally stops dancing around the subject and embraces the supernatural. In the process the show saves itself and starts to lay the groundwork for its cult popularity. Two characters emerge here--the ghost of Josette Collins and Laura Collins, The Phoenix--both of whom will be pivotal in future storylines. While this volume also deals with some of the show's primary (and plodding) non-supernatural plots, you'll see the show's lively side with colorful characters such as the deranged caretaker and the aforementioned deliciously evil Laura. Along the way you'll see the show experiment more with special effects. After this there's no turning back.
