Bonus material includes exclusive interviews, May 15 2004
This review is from: Dark Shadows (DVD)
Dark Shadows DVD Collection 10 is the latest installment of the DVD collector's edition of the Gothic-style supernatural daytime series Dark Shadows, which originally ran on ABC-TV from 1966-71. Centering around the character of Barnabas Collins (a 175-year-old vampire plagued with angst), this ongoing drama's blend of occult horror and tangled human (and vampire) relationships distinguished it as a true cult classic. Bonus material includes exclusive interviews with series actors Alexandra Moltke, John Karlen, Kathryn Leigh Scott, and more. 4 discs, 4 complete episodes, approximately 14 hours, not rated.

The Adam and Eve story really heats up..., Feb 1 2004
This review is from: Dark Shadows (DVD)
With this DVD set, the story of Adam accelerates as he forces Barnabas and Julia to bring his mate, Eve, to life. Lots of powerplay between Nicholas Blair allied with Adam and Barnabas allied with Julia and Professor Stokes. There are subplots aplenty, one particularly nerve-racking one involving Maggie Evans beginning to regain her memory of what Barnabas did to her way back in DVD Collection 2. Things also really begin to get good between Barnabas and Angelique, now a vampire, in this set. For John Karlen fans, these episodes are from a period in which he appeared on the show quite a lot (fans will know that he was known to leave the show for months at a time), meaning that Willie sees a lot of screen time. All in all, its a good collection with episodes from a pretty good DS storyline, though, in my opinion it pales in comparison with whats to come next DVD, the beginning of Quentin Collins' haunting of Collinwood. Of course, this is a great set for fans of DS and a must-have for those collecting the DVDs. For those who have never seen the show but are into cult/quirky gothic fantasy, I highly recommend you pick up these DVDs. The Adam and Eve story will reach its conclusion with the next release, and Quentin Collins played by fan-favorite David Selby will make his first appearances as the DVDs head into the episodes that comprised Dark Shadows' most successful days.
