Now you can put the bite back into your afternoon! Dark Shadows, the unprecedented spooky soap opera with its alluring tales of Gothic mystery and supernatural intrigue, continues – and this time without the commercials. Baby boomers who raced home from school back in the 60s to catch the ghostly daytime drama can now keep up with their favorite reluctant vampire, Barnabas Collins, with the second installment of Dark Shadows on DVD.

On these volumes, Barnabas locks the kidnapped Maggie Evans in an old house basement cell, hoping she will submit to becoming the recreation of his lost love, Josette. A strange young girl in old-fashioned clothing appears to Maggie and, later, to handyman Willie Loomis, who informs Barnabas she claims to live at the Old House. As Elizabeth Collins Stoddard prepares to marry blackmailer Jason McGuire, she reveals a dark secret to governess Victoria Winters. Posing as an historian, Dr. Julia Hoffman arrives at Collinwood to investigate Maggie‘s disapppearance.

Dark Shadows DVD Set 2 contains 40 complete episodes (251-290) on four discs plus new interviews with series creator/executive producer Dan Curtis and actors Alexandra Moltke, Nancy Barrett and Dennis Patrick.
