5.0 out of 5 stars Dark Shadows 1991Revival-A Classic!, December 22, 2000

This review is from: Dark Shadows 1991 Episode 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This 1991 mini-series is one of the best I've ever seen. I can remember watching a few episodes on NBC almost 10 years ago, and I just had to see it all again...The blend of drama, romance and gothic horror is successfully established. Ben Cross stars as 200 yr. old vampire Barnabas Collins, who is accidentally unchained and released from his coffin. Following a series of deadly attacks in the town of Collinsport, he introduces himself to the wealthy Collins family as a distant cousin from England, and immediately falls for new governess Victoria Winters (played by Joanna Going). If you remember this series, you'll definitely think about watching it all again.

This review is from: Dark Shadows 1991 Episode 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I agree with everyone here in that the Dark Shadows revival series aired on NBC in the early 90s was one of the best re-makes ever made. It far eclipses the original. However, the price for ONE EPISODE on an outdated vhs tape? Are these people insane? These days nobody pays HALF that price for a vhs tape of a complete full-length feature film. It's pretty rare to pay this much even for a DVD with "special features" on it. VHS is simply not a viable medium anymore and the price Amazon's quoting is four times what a single episode is worth.

5.0 out of 5 stars This deserves more than 5 stars!, December 16, 1999

Hello Dark Shadows fans. If you are a fan of vampires, dark gothic romance, ghosts, or all of the above, buy this video now! I first discovered the world of Dark Shadows through this great 1991 NBC mini-series and I actually did tape it, but someone evil whose name shall not be mentioned here, taped over my copies!

This series is so fun and exciting I can't say enough good about it. If you love the horror/vampire/romance genre, you will love this. One caveat though, if you were a die-hard purist fan of the old 60s-70s soap Dark Shadows you might not like this re-vamped :) version.
