Barnabas finishes Lt Forbes. Barnabas and his father speak of the recent events and bid each other farewell.

Hard to believe I saw this over 50 years ago! Back then, it was right after everyone came home from school and we would rush to see it. In the 1970s after high school we would rush home to see Match Game.

[@margaretjiantonio939]

Game shows were cheaper.

[@victorrodopoulos1350]

I remember that episode too. Brings back memories

[@bixby9797]

Rushed home, played some Pong until it came on and were riveted with many nightmares from this . Old time stage acting like Vincent Price brought to the TV screen in America.

[@OldiesMomma]

I loved this show. Even after 50 year's. It brings back good memories of a simpler time😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@jenniferdonlin6627]

Louis Edmonds as Joshua Collins really sold this scene.

[@harperstacey9604]

Louis Edmonds also played Langley Wallingford on the soap opera, All my children. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

[@bruce8808]

Besides his main role being Roger Collins he was also great as Edward Collins 1897, Daniel Collins 1840 and the ghost Brutus Collins 1841 P.T.

[@adolphlopez1462]

What a classical Shakespearing acting between Barnabas and Joshua Collins. They were great, especially back in 1795. And that is, like father and like son.

[@wildwest1]

You didn't hit my heart Forbes! It didn't hit me!!

[@harperstacey9604]

That was the best line spoken in Dark shadows.

@@louistenore2185 A lot of the actors in dark shadows were daytime soap opera actors. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

Classic Dark Shadows episode. Everybody remembers this scene. I remember this from my childhood, in the 1960's,

[@MrBiggles53]

Joshua Collins, that poor man lost everything. Great acting by Louis!

[@hollyb6885]

Great scene between Barnabas and Joshua

[@batmanforpresident9655]

Very poignant scene..great dialogue and interaction between the two characters.... Tell me: is there anybody cooler than Barnabas Collins?

[@davidgagnon3781]

This was Louis Edmonds best role on DS.

[@libertubey2199]

It could be. But both Roger Collins and his 1970 Parallel Time counterpart may give Joshua a run for his money.

[@davidgagnon3781]

@@libertubey2199 I do enjoy Roger's cynical remarks.

[@rodlabbe2976]

1795 was truly sublime. 1897 couldn't compare.

[@JakeMabe1]

😂

[@ryandukes1984]

Agreed the 1795 timeline is my favorite there are many other good story lines 1897 parallel time 1840 the original Barnabas story lines when he first appears but in my opinion 1795 is best

[@melodiefrances3898]

To me they are just completely different. The 1897 people were all scheming, lying, borderline evil, but fascinating from a distance. Even the Trask was a hypocrite. The 1795 characters were sincere and honorable and tragic. Very tragic. They were the kind of people you would want to know irl. But I love watching both of them.

[@charleslamb5818]

1795 was great but 1897 could compare with the introduction of Quentin Collins which like Barnabas sent the shows ratings to their highest. So both time periods were vital to the success of DS.

[@robertlord1582]

So great to see Forbes "get it" again, 52 years later. My memory had been quite good on this sequence. They say that we change our memory of events when we recall them. Well, I had recalled this many times over the years, but the version in my mind it was still very accurate. Back in 1968 we had to wait 23 hours to find out what happened after the arrow hit Barnabas in the chest. The immediate conclusion is kinder. Thanks for posting this!

[@Moorexec]

I think this particular episode aired on a Friday, and we had to wait until Monday to see the conclusion.

[@christinewells-leddon9287]

As heartbreaking now as it was the first time I saw it.

[@lmoore3rd]

Wait a minute, Barnabas didn't spend 10 minutes monologuing him to death first like everybody else he's killed/eaten in this series. They flipped it around so we heard Forbes telling himself "don't miss" over and over again while waiting at the door. What a refreshing change of pace...

[@mikehartsook5281]

I FIRST WATCHED DARK SHADOWS IN JULY OF 1969 AT MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE WITH MY AUNT'S MOTHER AND GRANDMA I WAS 8, YEARS OLD AND I HAVE LOVED IT EVERY SINCE, BEST GOTHIC SOAP OPERA OF ALL TIME BARNABAS AND ANGELIQUE ARE MY FAVORITE'S. I WATCH, RERUNS ON THE DECADES CHANNEL AT 5:00, AM ON WEEKDAYS, HERE IN EAST TENNESSEE. I'M GLAD BARNABAS KILLED FORBS, THAT'S THE EPISODE I WATCHED THIS MORNING BUT IT WENT OFF BEFORE, IT SHOWED BARNABAS KILL, HIM BUT IT WILL BE ON IN THE MORNING.

They dont sleep they have miserable lives .. thats the theme of the show.. they are rich but very sad and miserable.. money doesn't buy happiness I think is the whole lesson of the show

[@Barnabas45]

This storyline was the best of the series!

Why did Dark shadows end? Was it because the writers ran out of storylines or because of low ratings?

[@libertubey2199]

This was truly the last time Barnabas saw both his mother and father, as well as both his aunt Abigail and his cousin Millicent. Barnabas would see both his sister Sarah's ghost and Jeremiah's ghost (and the vengeful ghost of Reverend Trask) in the present, would see Daniel as a middle-aged man in 1840, would see Ben again, first on two trips to 1795-97 (and Lt. Forbes during the first trip) and as an old man in 1840. He would see Countess Natalie Dupre on his second trip to 1795-97 (he bit her so that she can save Josette from Angelique and Widow's Hill). Barnabas would also see Josette, first as her true reincarnation in 1897, then on his second trip to 1795-97, then finally as a ghost in the present. Of course, he would see his wife Angelique (they never divorced, which makes Angelique a bigamist: Roger Collins and Sky Rumson) everywhere he went, except for 1995.

[@regionalunityproductions4378]

Wait! I thought Forbes died in the old mauseleum?

[@williambarnard1763]

that was when Barnabas went back to 1795 to save vicky he didn't kill forbes and ben ended up killing him and the countess.

[@adolphlopez7735]

Trask (or rather Trash) has gotten it coming. now Forbes has gotten it next thereafter.

[@cynthiabrent6479]

I always felt that Abigail, Rev. Trask, and Lt. Forbes-- always got what they deserved. Whereas Abigail Collins and Rev. Trask were a couple of religious fanatics and hypocrites, Lt. Nathan Forbes was a womanizer, a fortune hunter, a would-be bigamist-- and a would-be child killer for... The MONEY!! The three of them however-- were doing the dirty work of Angelique, without ever realizing it.

[@marywise7661]

didnt have the pleasure of growin up with the classic dark shadows i had the dark shadows revival in the 90s but it was ok.i have recently begun delving into the classic dark shadows thanks to youtube and i gotta say the man who played barnabas was awesome

[@adolphlopez7735]

but the question is, why didn't they've also shown that part when Jason McGuire, by opening the coffin of Barnabas Collins, he's gotten strangled by him?

[@abdulmuhammad8900]

exactly cuz i been looking 4 that scene

[@patrickperalta59]

$100.00 and his freedom.. back then in 1795 a $100.00 was a lot of money in todays world it's nothing.

[@davidgagnon3781]

$100 in 1797 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $2,149.63 today, an increase of $2,049.63 over 224 years.

[@rfletch62]

Bad luck, Forbes. How very sad ...for you.

They are awake at all hours of the day AND night it seems. 24 hours.

[@adolphlopez7735]

but one other thing about it: both Joshua Collins and Barnabas Collins didn't felt good about it at all, as it seems like it, and that is, as they're conscious are hurting them badly.

[@11redlions]

cop out, no scene of him killing anyone here

[@adolphlopez7735]

just a joke: does Barnabas Collins owns a rooster by his ranch to crawl loudly by his old house in order to tell him of what time it is of when to sleep, and when to awakening up?

[@adolphlopez1462]

Welllllll!!!!!!! At least both Barnabas and Joshua have enough consideration to free Ben and have enough conscious of what bad things that Barnabas has done especially of the killing he has done.

[@franktroise4386]

Is it only me, or doesn't Barnabas' father look vaguely like Will Ferrell in geriatric makeup? Also, Lt. Forbes must have been enough of a sharpshooter to at least hit Barnabas the way he did. It was a perfect head-on shot on that door and he was aiming and shooting on quite an angle. And lastly, Forbes must have removed his practice shot bolt from the door but after that scene there's no mark on the door to show it was ever there. And they say Angelique was the witch... ;)

[@adolphlopez7735]

and as Ben Stokes has jump for joy by enjoying his $100.00 and his freedom, I can here him shouting as in saying, "thank you, Barnabas Collins. thank you Joshua Collins".
