Synopsis: The series that tapped a new vein of TV soap opera with its tales of the lives and loves of the undead also spawned this full-blooded, full-color movie incarnation directed by Dark Shadows creator Dan Curtis. House of Dark Shadows centers on stately Collinwood's afflicted Barnabas Collins (series star Jonathan Frid), who hopes a series of serum injections will make him normal. Alas, nothing can be normal at eerie Collinwood.
