Yes – this is probally either the second to last or the last 40 episodes – which will have several events such as some one crossing over into the parallel time room just he dies – leaving the others to wonder why. The Collins couple will get trapped into the room and survive the night and end the curse and the show will return to the present time where Julia and Barnabus will attend David’s graduation and a statement that dark shadows never set down on Collinwood again

This is the final installment in the Dark Shadows DVD Collection. I pre-ordered the DVD and received it within days of release in perfect new condition.

For about 5 years I had watched this show as a not even 10 year old kid during its first run, and now following the storylines anew on dvd I felt a sadness I couldnt have felt as a kid who only saw a spooky vampire show with weird family members like the Adams family on it.

I have never been one to wax maudlin about celebrities. But these personages became so special as you learn how they really werent actors, but performers, doing live stage in front of cameras. You feel as though you got to know every single one and sometimes could even guess what quip or sarcasm they may thru at each other at certain points and I even thought it would be funny to maybe watch again and have a sherry with the character at the same point they did which probably would have left me inebriated daily depending on how many episodes I watched.

I gave this DVD set 1 star because as many have mentioned, the show could have been wrapped up after they returned to the proper time having set straight the problems with Gerard Style and the happenings with Quentin. I didnt much care for the Loony room time-line. I didnt think it was needed.

I thought it would have been nice for Curtis to allow the cast to say a few words to us the viewers summing up their feelings on the end of the show, when Joan Bennett and Grayson Hall and Thayer David were still with us. A lot of tv shows do that today when they end their run and have the whole gang saying farewell at the end of the final episode.

I would have really dug the opportunity to just stand up and clap for them all as a group, a tear in my eye no doubt.

I went to some conventions but it wasnt the same, it wasnt personal enough as sitting in my living room yelling Encore as the final credits rolled.

Here end the rantings of a very pathetic Dark Shadow fan who, yes, had and still has a life, and not ashamed to to acknowledge that Dark Shadows is a very sweet memory of part of this life.

Very good and though I hated it to end, it ended without leaving you hanging. Almost like giving you closer.
