NEW Dark Shadows in 1897- Barnabas Meets Quentin

Barnabas is very interested in meeting Quentin of 1879 to learn more about what his ghost was possessing the children in 1969. All of this while everyone tries to find out "the secret" from Grandmother Edith.

Spoiler Alert: I have about 12 favorite moments in DS history. One of them was when Edith surprises Barnabas with the news the HE is the secret. When I first saw this episode way back in the 60s I almost fell off my chair. Outstanding writing on this show...always.

[@darkshadowsfansunite8140]

That is a great moment. Thank you for sharing.

[@melodiefrances3898]

It was brilliant writing.

[@TheMikester307]

And it made sense that they would have passed down "The Secret" and that the information would have been lost by the 1960s...

[@melodiefrances3898]

Quentin was rather evil back then. But I guess his ghost was evil so it makes sense.

[@darkshadowsfansunite8140]

That is a really good point.

RIP the Great Joan Bennett!! Her screen test for the role of Scarlett O'Hara is available on KZbin. Had Vivien Leigh not shown up to fulfill her legendary role, Joan Bennett should have been the one!

I used to watch this when it was on the air, but don't recall this episode. Quentin was REALLY a monster.

[@darkshadowsfansunite8140]

He really was!

[@ethelhoose1196]

Quentin and Barnbus were my favorites add and both could be monsters

[@bruce8808]

@@ethelhoose1196 If you think Barnabas and Quentin are bad wait until you see Gerard Stiles and then later on Judah Zachary.

Barnabas is the secret!

I love Isabella Hoopes as the 1897 version of Edith Collins.

[@darkshadowsfansunite8140]

She was great. A memorable role for just a few days on the air.

That must be an original John Henry Belter 1860s vintage rococo revival sofa. They weren't making replicas yet when this show was filmed. It's worth as much as a new car in today's money.

😮

BARNABAS IS THE SECRET!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!

[@marymoran8859]

John Karlen was such a good actor , so talented

[@melodiefrances3898]

Carl was lucky that Barnabas didn't rip his throat open 😂

[@PhilAlumb]

David Selby... Devilishly HANDSOME! 😍🔥

[@delavalmilker]

David Selby had the most ferocious-looking pair of "lambchop" sideburns!

[@wildforthecats661]

18:28 always thought it odd Barnabas kneeling when talking to Magda.

[@melodiefrances3898]

It was a very strange bit of blocking ...

[@chrislive1586]

Wow, how was this filmed? Live studio audience? because I can hear coughing in the background. Edit: 9:27 Edit: "I came down here to tell you... COUGH" Heard a few times throughout.

[@brianeddes3701]

No live studio audience.

[@melodiefrances3898]

But it was filmed in one take, with no chance for editing. Hence all the bloopers.

[@bradleycrouch7107]

Grandmother Collins isn't very much fun to be around in her old age.

[@davidbosworth4751]

it just dawned on me that daniel collins in 1795 and david collins in 1967 had the same mother.

[@melodiefrances3898]

I LOVED this storyline. Love it still.
