Awesome set! I watched Dark Shadows growing up and am revisiting this series once again. I didn't know that there was a series prior to the original shows. so I can enjoy the show even more. This set traces the show prior to Barnabus Collins arriving at Collinwood. The characters are introduced and grow as the show progresses. There is still mystery as things happen to the various characters. Conrad Bain (from Different Strokes) is part of the cast. Victoria Winters struggles with whether she should stay or leave as she tries to find out why she was chosen as David's caretaker. If you are a fan and haven't watched this set, it is worth it. For new fans this is a wonderful way to get introduced to a much loved series.

Anyone that has ever watched Dark Shadows has to see the Beginnigs Collections! It is way before Barnabus came to the show, I am not a big movie fan or a big TV person at all but growing up i watched this on tv after I came home from school. It takes you back and you remember so much of this time in your life (I am only 52)This collection is priceless. This is when TV was really good and life was simpler. I hate watching movies but this is really good! The picture quality is so good just like it was or maybe even a little better than i remember.
These episodes are like taking a step back in time. The sets are so simple and the black and white format of the day is just so awesome to share with my children ...who find it hard to believe that we watched TV with no color or "flashy" special effects. These very early episodes are also able to lay the ground work for the later, more prevalent characters such as Barnabas and Quentin and the mystery that shrouds Collinwood. I highly recommend these for the true "Dark Shadows" fan.
As a kid I watched Dark Shadows but never saw the first episodes. Seeing these gave me insight into why the characters developed as they did. I love the quaint village of Collinsport. Seeing the diner scenes was a treat. Wish I could find a diner like that!

Dark Shadows-The beginning Episodes 1-35 is a chance to see the series pre-Barnabas episodes. The origin of the series was a dream creator Dan Curtis had one night about a young woman traveling to a gothic old New England mansion on the east coast. The woman turned out to be Victoria Winters played by Alexandra Moltke. The early Dark Shadows are more Gothic suspence but little by little supernatural elements were added. These episodes are worth collecting to to see more of the beautiful Alexandra Moltke-whose character Victoria Winters-was the focal point of the of the show's beginnings. Not to be missed is the Laura Collins the Phoenix suberbly played by Diana Millay-who is introduced later on in the series.
