Dark Shadows (TV series): Difference between revisions

* [[Ape Shall Never Kill Ape]]

* [[Artifact of Doom]]: the hand of Count Petofi (also [[Attack of the Monster Appendage]] and [[Evil Hand]])

* [[Back From the Dead]]: It's a soap, so pretty much everyone. Angelique deserves special mention, though, due to sheer persistence.

* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Barnabas Collins is torn between the memory of his fiancee, Josette du Pres, a Betty type, and the Veronica type (to the max) Angelique, the witch who gave him the vampire curse. At the end he gets over his torch for Josette, and avows to Angelique that he loves her. She is then killed, and Barnabas ends up with neither.

* [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]]: Barnabas, after significant character development. In one of the better done sequences, we see Barnabas Collins the man regain the upper hand over Barnabas the Monster, when he refuses to be party to murdering a man to gain freedom from his curse.

* [[Ghost Story]]: Barnabas telling Vicky and Carolyn how Josette died. That he did it during a thunderstorm with the power out was a nice touch.

* [[The Gwen Stacy]]: Josette DuPres.

* [[Gypsy Curse]]: Quentin was the victim of same (note: Never marry and abandon a gypsy. Just. Don't.)

* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: Several [[Story Arc|Story Arcs]] were taken whole hog from classic horror fiction; ''[[The Turn of the Screw]],'' ''[[The Lottery]],'' [[H.P. Lovecraft]], etc.

* [[Woman Scorned]]: It's heavily implied that Barnabas and Angelique had sex. It's not clear whether this was before or after he became engaged to Josette, but Angelique got the short end of the stick either way. These events were the catalyst for Angelique's hatred for the Collins family.

* [[You Look Familiar]]: Some have appropriately described the cast as a theater troupe. If someone's character died, there was a good chance that the same actor would be back in a few weeks playing a different character.

* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: See "[[Woman Scorned]]" above.
