Synopsis: Dark Shadows - The Complete Revival Series (1991)
Synopis: This popular, long-running series from the 1960s was updated in 1991 and brought to a new audience with remarkable success. The story once again follows the governess Victoria (Joanna Going), who arrives at the Collinwood mansion to take a job, only to find a legacy of ghosts, vampires, and mystery, in a darkly captivating show replete with Gothic themes. Here, Ben Cross plays Barnabas Collins, who is secretly a 175-year-old reformed vampire who must live with the guilt of his past. Dr. Julia Hoffman (Barbara Steele) knows his secret, and soon falls madly in love with him. The numerous parallel stories of the Collins family and their friends, shot through with love, death, séances, and more otherworldly occurrences, unfortunately had the chance to progress for only 12 episodes before Gulf War coverage forced the program off the air. However, it remains an excellent remake of a haunting, classic show.Features: Dark Shadows - The Complete Revival Series (1991)

Pros: All of the episodes
Cons: Only 12 episodes
This was Dan Curtis' attempt to revive his cult show from the 1960's.
I thought all the actors and the actresses did great jobs with their roles; the special effects were good.
The story moved a little too quickly, I thought, when early on the entire town knows there's a vampire stalking them.
Takes some of the "fun" out of it, if everyone knows.
This was one of the reasons the show didn't last more than 1 season, sadly.
Worth getting if you're a fan. ...
