Dark Shadows is the 1991 reboot of the beloved 1966 television series created by Dan Curtis (Trilogy of Terror, The Night Stalker, Burnt Offerings) and originally starring Jonathan Frid as charismatic, two hundred year old vampire Barnabas Collins The role in the revamp (pun intended) is assayed this time by suave Ben Cross (Chariots of Fire), whose primary through lines involve his revival and subsequent quest to get his vampirism cured via the miracle of modern science by the character of Dr. Hoffman (Italian Gothic horror film actress Barbara Steele, Black Sunday, The Pit and the Pendulum), as well as his rekindled romance with newly arrived governess to the Collinwood manse Victoria Winters (Joanna Going, Inventing the Abbots) Ð who happens to look suspiciously similar to his long lost love Josette. Presaging Lost with a unique flashback/alternate timeline scenario, Victoria and the audience soon find themselves miraculously sent back to Barnabas' past to witness his conversion to the Nosferatu by his vindictive witch maid Angelique. The show ran on NBC for a pretty successful first season but was then canceled before a second could come to pass, having since been released on DVD to a massive cult following.MORE
