Overview

Dark Shadows is an American gothic soap opera that originally aired weekdays on the ABC television network, from June 27, 1966, to April 2, 1971. The show was created by Dan Curtis. The story bible, which was written by Art Wallace, does not mention any supernatural elements. It was unprecedented in daytime television when ghosts were introduced about six months after it began. The series became hugely popular when vampire Barnabas Collins appeared a year into its run. Dark Shadows also featured werewolves, zombies, man-made monsters, witches, warlocks, time travel, and a parallel universe. A small company of actors each played many roles; indeed, as actors came and went, some characters were played by more than one actor. Major writers besides Art Wallace included Malcolm Marmorstein, Sam Hall, Gordon Russell, and Violet Welles.

Overview

Barnabas now knows for sure that Angelique is the witch that has been causing all the terrible things to happen. Barnabas tells Ben how he figured it out when he heard Angelique say the incanation and how Victoria told him that she felt a 'cold fire'...the same cold fire that Angelique had talked about in her incanation. Barnabas now plans on killing Angelique. Barnabas tries to kill Angelique at first by putting poision in her sherry. Naomi enters, and Angelique gives her the sherry. Barnabas quickly knocks over the glass so Namoi will not drink it. Angelique suspects something isn't right. Naomi came to tell Barnabas that a package. The package turns out to be a portrait of Josette duPres that had been sent to him before the events had occured. At the end of the episode, when it is nightime, Barnabas is seen creeping into Angelique's room with a knife and swoops down with the knife.
