Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love Dark Shadows, and Collection 7 contains some of my favorite episodes from the 5 year series. Ever since it was announced that the series was coming out on DVD, I had been looking forward to this set very much.
Victoria Winters returns from her inexplicable journey into the year 1795, and from the minute she re-appears, very strange events begin to occur at Collinwood. Victoria unexplainably purchases a portrait of the evil Angelique. A man with a striking resemblence to Peter Bradford enters her life suddenly. Roger begins to think he's Joshua Collins, then disappears in the middle of the night, only to return later, horrifying his family with announcement of a new wife, Cassandra (Angelique with a black wig).
Other memorable highlights from Collection 7 include:
-- Barnabas' reaction to the portrait of Angelique and what happens when he tries to destoy it.
-- Cassandra/Angelique's dream curse which terrifies a whole string of people, most notably Maggie Evans.
-- Dr. Eric Lang exposing Barnabas to daylight for the first time in 200 years.
-- The introduction of Julia Hoffman's radical haircut, which Barnabas and Victoria both comment on.
-- And most important for John Karlen fans -- the return of Willie Loomis after a long absence!
There's some great episodes here, and some outstanding performances, especially from Jonathan Frid and Louis Edmonds. Sink your teeth in and enjoy!
