Editorial Reviews

With its alluring tales of gothic mystery and supernatural intrigue, Dark Shadows became the most popular daytime series of all time during its run on ABC from 1966-71. Muck like the show’s character Barnabas Collins, a guilt-ridden vampire released from his chained coffin after nearly 200 years, Dark Shadows retains an immortality that time steadfastly fails to erode.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Adam and Eve story really heats up..., January 31, 2004

By 

David Waters (Montgomery, AL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dark Shadows DVD Collection 10 (DVD)

With this DVD set, the story of Adam accelerates as he forces Barnabas and Julia to bring his mate, Eve, to life. Lots of powerplay between Nicholas Blair allied with Adam and Barnabas allied with Julia and Professor Stokes. There are subplots aplenty, one particularly nerve-racking one involving Maggie Evans beginning to regain her memory of what Barnabas did to her way back in DVD Collection 2. Things also really begin to get good between Barnabas and Angelique, now a vampire, in this set. For John Karlen fans, these episodes are from a period in which he appeared on the show quite a lot (fans will know that he was known to leave the show for months at a time), meaning that Willie sees a lot of screen time. All in all, its a good collection with episodes from a pretty good DS storyline, though, in my opinion it pales in comparison with whats to come next DVD, the beginning of Quentin Collins' haunting of Collinwood. Of course, this is a great set for fans of DS and a must-have for those collecting the DVDs. For those who have never seen the show but are into cult/quirky gothic fantasy, I highly recommend you pick up these DVDs. The Adam and Eve story will reach its conclusion with the next release, and Quentin Collins played by fan-favorite David Selby will make his first appearances as the DVDs head into the episodes that comprised Dark Shadows' most successful days.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adam and Eve and Barnabas, August 29, 2004

By 

Jean Stein (Philadelphia, PA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dark Shadows DVD Collection 10 (DVD)

In the Dark Shadows DVD Collection 10, we continue with the story of Adam. Adam was a being created by Dr. Lang and Dr. Houffman to cure Barnabas of vamperism (similar to Frankenstein's monster). After discovering that his love, Carolyn, does not love him, Adam looks for a way to have Carolyn love him. The evil warlock, Nicholas Blair, uses Adam's want for Carolyn to love Adam to corrupt Adam. Nicholas even corrupts Adam enough to demand that a mate be created for Adam. Nicholas chooses the spirit of Danielle, an infamous murder from the French Revolution, to be the lifeforce.
Nicholas's plan to create a super human race with Adam as the father seems to be working. As Nicholas corrupts Adam from one side, Eve corrupts him from the other.
If you have watched the previous Dark Shadows DVD collections, this is of course a great way to follow through the story.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rather tedious set of episodes in this one, March 6, 2011

But, you have to get through it to continue with the story so I soldiered on and skipped a bit. The Adam storyline continues as he threatens to harm Victoria unless Barnabas and Julia create a mate for him - Eve. But some woman has to contribute the life force to create Eve and Warlock Nicholas Blair first puts Carolyn Stoddard on the table, and when that doesn't work he rounds up the ghost of an infamous murderess from the French Revolution. Eve is created and is none too interested in her mate Adam, she's much more interested in Jeff Clark who she recognizes from her past - but he doesn't recognize her. Yawn.

Willie Loomis kidnaps Maggie Evans for her own protection (Barnabas wanted to use her as the life force for Eve), but with unintended results - the memory of her ordeal at the hands of Barnabas returns in full force. The only real highlights of these episodes are when Lara Parker is allowed to chew up the scenery biting the necks off of Jeff Clark, Joe Haskell and eventually taking a swing at Barnabas himself. After all this time why no on in town recognizes the sign of being under a vampire's spell after all this time is beyond me...

Oh well, these are now over and I can move onto the next. Hopefully Quentin will be appearing soon. Please?
