Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Collinwood scenes were filmed at the Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, New York. The Lyndhurst Estate also housed Spratt Mansion, which had been used as the exterior of the "Old House" on the series, but was destroyed by a fire the year before "House of Dark Shadows" was shot.
- GoofsWhen Barnabas reaches for the handle of Daphne's car door, and when soon after when he stalks Maggie in the Old House, he is wearing the same period garb as when released from his coffin, as well as an ankle-length cloak. But when stalking Daphne in the woods prior to attacking, he's clearly wearing contemporary shoes and pants, and a much shorter cloak.
- Quotes
Carolyn Stoddard: I'm beginning to wonder, cousin Barnabas, if I shall ever know you at all. There's so much about you... that I'm dying to know.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There is a scene during the closing credits: Barnabas turns into a bat and flies away.
- Alternate versionsThe preview version of the film included a scene where young David Collins pretends to hang himself. No copies of this footage are known to exist.
