Jonathan Frid came to our college and did a Shakespeare workshop and closed his visit with a one-man show. What a brilliant and lovely man. He invited the audience on the stage, and we made a circle around him as he performed "The Tell-tale Heart." A thunderstorm blew up, and it was eerie, to say the least.
Barnabas not only recovers his life but also his dignity as a human being. He was a noble man before the arrival of the maid Angelica. 👏👏👏 Nice series.
Barnabas was such a human being. He wanted to plant a garden. He had such a kind heart and soul. Even as a Vampire he was more human than serial killers, terrorists, and war criminals.
I hated this moment (although I appreciaed Frid's performance)! I just prefer Barnabas as a vampire and in that respect, it didn't matter if he was a villain or a HERO! The idea of a heroic vampire usiing their powers to battle even more monstrous villains was still rare in film and other media, such as comics but in stories like The Hand of Count Petofi, Barnabas and Frid paved the way for ANGEL!
Agreed. One of Frid's better scenes. What impressed me was that at the beginning of the 1795 sequence he managed to convey that Barnabas was different. Warmer and more human. And during the course of the 1795 story line he changes and becomes the Barnabas we're familiar with. That was a good show of his skills as well. His acting is almost as good as John Karlen's... ;)
@@marilynwillett804 naw he was a card reader... which helps the apeal of the character.... the slow hesitate looking off stage insure of himself is what made barney the sympathetic force he was... johnK. always props johnF... helping him read into his lines and thats we loved about barn. The reluctant vampire.. pls dont get me wrong johnF was commanding
Frid eventually returned to the theater which he loved very much and then he toured with his one-man shows, doing readings which the fans loved. He did that for quite a while. The theater was his passion and he wanted to direct too.
It was great how Barnabas and Quentin first came on the show as an evil person and became good both kept the same name character on the whole series of Dark Shadows
I'd like this when Barnabas became a better person he was a human being not a vampire anymore and can live by the day and did not hurt people anymore he was too nice of a person to be like that because of the curse Angelique put on him
Jonathan Frid,s performance is one of the most worthwhile in science fiction history a great moment for television here's to Jonathan Frid a great performance thank you for repeating one of the greatest moments in the history of dark shadows!
I bet Jonathan Frid was happy to be able to open his mouth and be free of those fake fangs. Most costume departments back then didn't employ people very knowledgeable with up-to-date dental skills. XD
Who do you think Depp was copying but Jonathan Frid. Just as Daniel Craig admits to copying Sean Connery's moves. Originals usually are the best and the blue print for some other actors.
@@wiseguymaybe I don't think so...….Jonathan Frid was already successfully trained in London Shakespearean actor......it is Curtis who went after him for this role......
LoL! and if I ever lose my mouth, all my fangs, north and south - if I ever lose my mouth, dee-deet-n-dee-dee, dee-deet-n-dee, I won't hafta bite no more...
In the other reality, where Barnabas did marry Joesette, they had a son. Unfortunately Barnabas had died just a few years later. I think 🤔 it was something modern medicine could have cured.
Barnabas didn't know that Dr. Lang had cured him, he thought 🤔 it was 4:00 a m. and was anxious to get back to his coffin ⚰️. Once he realized it 4:00 p.m. and he saw daylight he was overcome with joy 😊. The life life force of Adam is what blocked Angelique from putting another curse on him.
I watched and loved Dark Shadows for years, (especially Barnabas) but never saw this scene. I was one of many young teens who saw Jonathan at the Devon horse show. I was in the crowd when someone pushed me and I had been pushed into Jonathan. He was surrounded by hundreds and immediately rushed away.
2:30 he was so happy because if you really look at it in the beginning he was just a man and he was just I might as well go on and say it excited over there in Martinique and wanted some company unfortunately he's come across the wrong woman that's the way it was set up it always will get you it's like you walking in a room of broken glass and you don't know where to step and your bare feet he just wanted somebody to love he had money and he was starting to be successful in the shipping it just goes to show one mistake can ruin everything it's sad but true but God can fix it it might not be tomorrow but you got to give him a little time Collinwood was beautiful before Angelique came along what they lead u to believe that there were a lot of shipwrecks that crashed on the rocks and a lot of of the guys on the crew such as pirates and crew guys died on the rocks and widow's Hill and there were unrested Souls probably some gorgeous Shipmates you know they where, but Angelique got caught up with Judas Zachary over there in Martinique what went down between him and her I never got that but she was just out for herself I guess that's what got her caught up and then she turned into the evil witch she was Joel Haskell Willie Loomis Chris Jennings Victoria Maggie and I love Julia oh I love Julia and Magda and mrs. Stoddard and the rest and mrs. Johnson even the kids played their part Dan Curtis was brilliant this was a terrific show and if you were a kid back then before all this social media and y'all still had a phone in the house a rotary dial phone in the 80s and went to a cordless phone when this show was on TV Dark Shadows would scare the hell out of you😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 romantic scary suspenseful corny elegant and the actors and actresses were beautiful👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👊👊👊👊👊👊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
by the looks of this scene Rodger visiting Barnabas in rehab. Being completely cured of his alcoholism just once again feel comfortable with himself.. that's the feeling I get watching this great scene
Funny thing if you watch the previous episode which ends with Dr Lang pulling the curtain and saying it's 4:00 in the afternoon Jonathan Fred is wearing a completely different robe and pajamas.
I'm on the verge of getting the deluxe DVD set of the entire show it's around $400 but for me would be worth it and that way I could watch every single episode even the beginnings which was the first year of the show before Barnabas showed up
Do it it's so worth it, it's a lot of money but you're not buying junk you're buying quality and they don't make good shows like this anymore. First time I saw dark shadows was in 1976 and it was in syndication and I was 9 years old but I've been a fan ever since.
@@donaldallen7344 I first discovered it in the late 90s when the sci fi channel was airing the show. I had just become a dad and remember holding my daughter as she slept and feeding her as I sat on the couch watching dark shadows, good times and special memories for me
I remember attending a DS C onvention in a hotel room in Manhattan, where I believe it was Roger Davis, whom stated that the actor whom played Dr. Lang, whose name presently escapes me, had such trouble remembering his lines, that he had to write them on his sleeves to help him remember them! Allthough, he was a nice guy! May he RIP!
Yeah, actor Roger Davis had a rather sadistic sense of humor. He thought it was amusing to deliberately block actor Addison Powell's view of the teleprompter so that Addison could not read his lines as Dr. Lang. Davis also used to sit on or kneel on the pieces of paper that Addison had placed on the props on the set. The tiny pieces of paper out of sight from the cameras, had his lines written down. Davis thought is musing to either sit on those pieces of paper or lean in and place his hand right over them and then watch actor Powell squirm and panic because he could not remember his lines. Some of the actresses on the show did not like working with Davis neither.
@@thejupiter2574 So much for ensemble spirit, eh? I swear I thought I saw Thayer David peering up his ruffled sleeve once during an episode as Sandor. No writing on palm, even tho wifey, "Magda" was palm reader (d'oh!), perhaps lines written on inner arm?
according to dr lang as long as adam lives barabas would be free from his curse but if adam died barnabas would be as he was before well adam didn't die and the leviathins turned him back in to a vampire any way interesting isn't it
Now with a more powerful understanding shouldn't Barnabas have decomposing on the spot now that the demonic entity keeping him in the Vampyre state had been exorcised ?
I have trouble understanding a moment he is cured, he can go out during the day and then he can not run away? What happened? And if he is no longer cured, why doesn't he repeat the same process (see doctor)? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He (Barnabas) was redeemed went from being an evil person to a good man. Not unlike Willie Loomis who started out as a bar fighting woman molester who Barnabas turned into his cowardly bitch for awhile and finally became kind of a hero at the end the series as God shows us redemption is always possible
Now, why would them writers want to "cure" Barney? He wuz the whole show! If ye "cure" him, ye got no show. A better storyline woulda been ta have ole Barney bit by the Werewolf so's he becomes a vampire/werewolf combo. Boy, imagine the mangled death that could have generated.
Bueno barnavas Collins es bampiro por lo tanto duerme de día en el sarcófago no puede ver la luz y sale de noche y se alimenta de la sangre de la jente que llega al castillo de los collins
funny how many injection julia gave barnabas before trying to cure him and failed and dr lang gave him one injection and cured him. maybe julia wasn't the best in her field after all. lol
I hope we all can say this in the midst of this pandemic. The awesome beauty to live again.

Writers where incredible on this show.
This series was the best part of my childhood.
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Loved Jonathan Frid and the part he played on Dark Shadows as Barnabas Collins !
without a doubt frid was the best barnabas of all ben cross johnny depp couldn't carry his cane.
Me too
One of the best scenes in soap history.
A classic battle of eighteenth century witchcraft versus twentieth century medical science. But Angelique was more than ready to up her game.
Great scene . The show's reruns went off the air in my area in the early 80s . I never saw this episode.
Such a great era of TV.
You can order dvds on amazon I do all the time
Jonathan Frid was an amazing actor. It's just sad that after this went off the air we pretty much didn't see any more of him.
Frid eventually returned to the theater which he loved very much and then he toured with his one-man shows, doing readings which the fans loved. He did that for quite a while. The theater was his passion and he wanted to direct too.
I always wonder what the plot line would have been if Frid would have been in the 2nd Dark Shadows movie.
Still rocking that eyeliner, Barnabas.
What a fantastic actor and delivery of this speech! Rip Jonathan Frid
Addison Powell did a fantastic job as Doctor Eric Lang.
Thanks for the upload !! One of the best TV shows ever..!!
I Remember this Scene
Very Powerful to see Barnabus
Reclaim his Humanity
It was great how Barnabas and Quentin first came on the show as an evil person and became good both kept the same name character on the whole series of Dark Shadows
I'd like this when Barnabas became a better person he was a human being not a vampire anymore and can live by the day and did not hurt people anymore he was too nice of a person to be like that because of the curse Angelique put on him
This was a great scene!
YES IT WAS
What season is this on? I have Hulu.
he was a Shakespearean trained actor in London...….there will never be another that can portray this role so well
I love this scene but I was very young and so BARELY remember it.
A superb actor Jonathan Frid was 😲😲😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

A truly classic moment!!!
"We did it by chance; but fortunately, we know what we did!"
Ah, science!
I love how clear and detailed his explanation was!
He was delivered ❤️💯!
The best moment ever.. How incredible.. I wish there was a real Dr. Lang.. This is always my all time favorite storyline!
that is one wicked comb-over on that little mug.
I hope you dont mean Barnabas he had a full head of hair until he died at 87, comb overs are to hide baldness,
The characters happiest moment.... minus josett

Marriage seems to do that too LOL

Had the day off but missed the episode because of the MLK funeral. Millions must have missed it because of the TV coverage of that event.

I'm so happy they are current airing reruns of DS. Right now they're airing the storyline when Dr Woodard was killed.
It's on decades channel every early morning at 5 a.m.
Funny thing if you watch the previous episode which ends with Dr Lang pulling the curtain and saying it's 4:00 in the afternoon Jonathan Fred is wearing a completely different robe and pajamas.
This was such a happy moment. Lang's triumph of medical science!
I believe after Adam was made....He also saved Barnabas. If Adam died....so did he.
When you catch this episode on the decades channel, shortly after 1795 concludes, it means they are about to re-run the first appearance of Barnabus.
I'm on the verge of getting the deluxe DVD set of the entire show it's around $400 but for me would be worth it and that way I could watch every single episode even the beginnings which was the first year of the show before Barnabas showed up
