| 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful  The curse starts to have its full effect; Victoria goes on trial, By This review is from: Dark Shadows DVD Collection 6 (DVD) The 175-year-old vampire Barnabas Collins (Shakespearean actor Jonathan Frid) who turned the soap opera DARK SHADOWS from forgettable to famous was originally supposed to be dealt with and disposed of entirely in the present day. The events of 1795 that made Barnabas a vampire and took away his true love Josette were to serve only as a back story. But Barnabas's popularity changed the plan. He was spared the hammer-and-stake treatment, viewers were transported to 1795, and that back story became the main plot.This installment continues the 1795 sequence from a point shortly after Barnabas becomes a vampire. Angelique's curse starts having its intended effect as those who love Barnabas die. and at long last, we see Josette's suicide -- the big event we've been hearing about for so long. After all the buildup, this could have been a disappointment, but in my opinion, it wasn't. What DIDN'T work for me was the "Monkey's Paw" variation involving Josette's...

I've been a fan since I was a young child, which happened to be after the original run, but only by a year or two. The interviews at the end are mostly good, some are really lame, like Lara Parker's soliloquy (sp?) on vampires and the sexual beings that they are. But, others give real insight into the show, including the ones with Jonathan Frid and Kathryn Leigh Scott. It wasn't until these videos that I saw an up to date picture of Frid. He's better looking now than he was then. The quality of the video is very good, I would call it above average. There are still some kinescope episodes, but that will never be helped. At least we have something. I highly recommend this series. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful 1795 Flashback Continues!, By A viewer (Michigan) - See all my reviews This review is from: Dark Shadows DVD Collection 6 (DVD) 1795 adventures continue in Dark Shadows DVD Collection 6 (VHS Volumes 37-44).

Before he can take her away, Angelique lures her to Widows Hill, where Josette sees a vision of herself as a vampire and she jumps to her death. Naomi Collins attempts to prevent Lt.
