best soap opera ever - imaginative, campy, mellow dramatic, great story line, ahead of it's time - all the ingredients needed for a winner. Never been another one like it. My mom used to watch this show religiously - after I got her hooked on it as a little girl.
This is great! I'm a DS fan, have been for years. Now I live in CT - an easy drive to Collinwood! I know it's now a private home, but I'd be content just to see it from a distance. Looks like a summer journey might be in order. You did a great job on this video...I especially loved the ocean shots. Thank you.
Thanks for this wonderful video, it's nice to know it's still around. What a shame about the Old House, I believe the place was deserted in reality too. "Collinsport" is still around, don't recall the name of the place until I get my books out again.
Thanks tons for this. Oh, man, that unforgettable Robert Cobert musical score! I taught myself to play "Josette's music box" on the piano when I was seven. I was thoroughly disgusted when DS was cancelled in April 1971. There was even an article about it in the Weekly Reader. We had a brief discussion about the show in my fourth grade class that day.

The first voice over was the very first episode, the final voice over was the very last episode. I shot the video myself when I was in Newport a couple of weeks ago. The house is used as a dormitory for upperclassmen from Salve Regina University. To my knowledge the house is not open for tours. and I too wish I could live there!
When I saw the rocks in the opening sea shot I thought how they looked like 40 Steps area in Newport. Guess some things just never leave your memory when you have seen them enough.
In my next life, I will either buy or build this house. It will become my dearest home, not only for me but for my descendants for the next 1000 years,. It will be called COLLINWOOD.
We were just there in person two weeks ago. The Carey's who own it are wonderful people and are now in the process of restoring it. The Salve Regina school is now out. The inside of the mansion is wonderful!!! It's every bit as fabulous as the outside. One of the guys in our group knows the Carey's personally so we were able to explore "Collinwood" for a whole day. It's actually called "Seaview Terrace"
This is now a privately owned residence, they've let all the hedges grow so you can no longer even see the house. Plus they have no trespassing signs on the property, they're not very friendly.
I'll be going wildly and insanely crazy in living in Collingwood, the Old House and along the ocean waves running wild and screaming all over the DS area scenes.
However the interiors of this house are nothing like the "set" they filmed at. If I had the money I would design a house with the same interiors as the show (somewhat limited).The big front doors,staircase,and drawing room. Oh and I can't forget those stained glass windows!!! My husband would think I was nuts but that's my dream house!! Lol
Nice video footage of the house. I enjoyed the the show's opening and closing audio sequences serving as a framing device. One can imagine Victoria Winters stepping out for a quick trip to Collinsport. It's very clear to see that the ivy growth has been removed, as it was apparently a threat to the condition to the building's facade.
Great footage, but that isn't the actual location they used for Widow's Hill. The real location is located along the Cliff Walk, just down from the 40 Steps, right behind Ochre Court, the old main building for Salve Regina.
Always loved this show. Robert Cobert did a fantastic job with the atmospheric music. The same great work on the original "The Night Stalker" tv movie, and "Dan Curtis' Dracula". Guess he was Dan's go to guy.
I have never seen the entire production of DS - all the way to 1971 when it went off the air. I now am in the process of watching the re-runs on DVD. I finally discovered how it all began. I think it was the best when Willie and Jason came on to the show. Things started to pick up from there. Sincerely, JAMES.
The only thing that scared was watching House Of Dark Shadows where Barnabas killed everyone who stood in his way because he wanted Maggie Evans to be his bride
Robert Yglesias That is a great movie. I read that the way Barnabas and Willie died at the end of the movie, is how that storyline was supposed to end in the tv show. When Barnabas became such a fan favorite, they didn’t kill him off. Thank God.
I toured the one in NY used in the 2 DS ovies It is really cool! The old house used on the show was on that property, but it burned down. Id have to find someone who lived in that dorm to show me around. You know they ave to have places it there where they have parties.
check out 4:25 minutes into the video, and pause at the window...I don't know about ya'll but I swear there is someone looking out of that glass door!!!
WOW!!! Thanks for posting this. I also loved the show, ran home from school each day to watch it, also wanted to live there. So nice to know it is being restored. Yes, it would be perfect if Johnny Depp used it for the new movie. I can't wait as he will be perfect as Barnabas, maybe even better than Jonathan Frid.
Wow. Does this ever make me emotional. Is there any possibility of you making it an option to see this with the "Watch in high quality" option now available here on You Tube? Thank you so much.
OK I know someone has probably brought this up already but being a fan of Dark Shadows I would like to know where this house is and if anyone still lives there.
their only one place in the world. like this. a place high above sea a place called collinwood. i due have fond menories of collinwood. i due reminese.
What a shame, that big grassy area is perfect for horseshoes, been bags, volley ball, or a softball game. It wouldn't matter to me if it were mortals or immortals playing.
Me too I love y'all I wish we could all watch it together I grew up getting off the school bus in the summertime in the 80s hot damn Barnabas Collins would scare the ultimate hell out of you any of the rest of those vampires coming through those woods at Collinwood you you couldn't pay me to stay in that house I don't care if you have Mark Zuckerbergs money today I will not do it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💥 boo boogers and Spooks and secret David and Amy's little bad butts passageways hell-to-the-no in the graveyard when I was a kid that Eagle Hill Cemetery would scare The "F" of me but I would still be glued to that damn TV😇😇😇😇😇🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤭🤭🤭🤭🤫🤫🤫🤫 love Dark Shadows to always Julia Quinton Angelique Miss is Stoddard Joe Haskell Chris Jennings Rodger Collins Carolyn lady Hampshire Bruno Professor Stokes Ben Stokes count petofi Chris and Amy Aunt Hannah the fortune teller the other psychic lady that fell down the stairs and died or just fell down the stairs because Quinton had already killed her Beth Chavez all of them the blue whale but I got to tell you that damn werewolf got on my nerves that old rotten Abigail Barnabas scared the potato salad out of her🤣🤣🤣 but don't get me wrong I love the house from a distance like bette Midler and the storylines in the plots in this game to the parallel times and the Elegance in the characters but it was always spooky as hell it always rained in the thunder and lightning and clapping and the candlesticks and everybody scared shi less🤫🤭

God, I loved Dark Shadows and Collinwood!!!
i was born in newport 1958 love this show and the music.

+Eduardo Barriga Wonderful!
The house is called Seaview Terrace. The Spratt(Old House) House burned down back in 1969.
We were just there in person two weeks ago. The Carey's who own it are wonderful people and are now in the process of restoring it. The Salve Regina school is now out.

Nice videos to one of my all-time favorite TV shows Dark Shadows and it's the original Collinwood🇺🇸🇺🇸😄😄💕💕
J B thanks I did this years ago, all the video is mine from that day.
Great Footage on the House and The Shore with the Ocean !!
I do love this TV series! 🤍🤍🤍
I Remember this show and love this new modern day opening
This is now a privately owned residence, they've let all the hedges grow so you can no longer even see the house. Plus they have no trespassing signs on the property, they're not very friendly.
Excellent job Brian ! Thank you!!
I'll be going wildly and insanely crazy in living in Collingwood, the Old House and along the ocean waves running wild and screaming all over the DS area scenes.
Okay🤫🤫🤫🤭🤭💯💯💯👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👏👏👏👏
@Sue Taft yesssssssssssss💯💯💯💯👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 not a chance in... I would stay there🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love dark shadows thank god for hulu
Renee Benson whole series on amazon
The whole series is on Tubi also
I want to live there too!!
However the interiors of this house are nothing like the "set" they filmed at.

Thanks and bless you so much for posting this--I ran home faster than anyone!

Nice footage. I've loved the show my whole life!
It's so good to know the 'big house' never changed through the years. I know 'the old house' burned down years ago.
I am a Dark Shadows freak!!
I'm dying to see it all again. Hulus throwing some .110 to 290 episodes . Now we got 1060????? Show us more 🇺🇸👏
TUBI has the entire series if you would like to watch it there.
Yes Tubi has all 1245 episodes!
I would love to spend a week there.

Yeah me too man I own all of them including the two movies👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😄😄😄💕💕
The rest is TV HISTORY, GREAT VIDEO
There are some new adjustments to the property but they've really kept it in great shape
Neat to see it on Google Maps.
One of my favorites is when they went back in time..
Which time? 1795, 1897, or 1840? They were all great...
Loved it...thanks for sharing :)
Beautiful home.
i really like this old video. it take me back to that time.
The only thing that scared was watching House Of Dark Shadows where Barnabas killed everyone who stood in his way because he wanted Maggie Evans to be his bride

outstanding old video. it take me back to that very time
i can forget it.collinwood. it part of me.
I absolutely worship DS! If i had the money i would buy that house! The old house too!
+Ivan Izell Sadly, the house that was used for the exterior shots of the Old House, was destroyed by fire in 1969.
4string59 Oh no! I did not know that!
+Ivan Izell yes! I would visit you!
it was sold. an now is a school
207 Ruggles Avenue
Newport, RI 02840
I would enjoy living there .
me too!!
I toured the one in NY used in the 2 DS ovies It is really cool! The old house used on the show was on that property, but it burned down. Id have to find someone who lived in that dorm to show me around. You know they ave to have places it there where they have parties.
That was really super. Thanks. I am doing a drawing of Collinwood. Your close-ups will help me see the big picture in detail.
The Carey Mansion.
Thanks for uploading this! Were shots of the estate also used for the most recent Dark Shadows movie?
+Steven Cohen No!
check out 4:25 minutes into the video, and pause at the window...I don't know about ya'll but I swear there is someone looking out of that glass door!!!
That looks like the mansion from the scooby doo intro
If you go to "53 Marine Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island" on google street view, you can see part of the house...
the correct address is 207 Ruggles Ave Newport RI
My dad has always wondered what happened to this house.
fan of darkshadows
It also looks like the house used in the credits for scooby doo
I am a huge dark shadows fan my kids want us to move there in collinswood
It's creepy how they record the footage by zooming in and out from outside the estate like they're spying or something lol
Looking for ghost in the windows
Brian Rapoza you replied!! 😂
She's as beautiful as I remember
Love this
Awesome, thx for posting!
👍❤️
WOW!!! Thanks for posting this. I also loved the show, ran home from school each day to watch it, also wanted to live there. So nice to know it is being restored. Yes, it would be perfect if Johnny Depp used it for the new movie. I can't wait as he will be perfect as Barnabas, maybe even better than Jonathan Frid.
Hotel Collinwood who would try to sleep there?
Ever been to Winchester House in San Jose CA? I have......so much like the D.S. house on the outside they keep the property up quite well.
Great video, these takes are better than the ones in the show
Wow. Does this ever make me emotional. Is there any possibility of you making it an option to see this with the "Watch in high quality" option now available here on You Tube?
Thank you so much.
Does anyone know where the house is that they used for the "old house"?
In Newport, Rhode Island. Sadly, not open to the public.
I was so upset when they canceled this show
I come from there and never even visited it yet.
Slomofogo I live in Miami and never go to the beach either!!! Lol
GREAT !
@Ullyvonpiv where exactly is that mansion at? i always thought it would be great to go have a brandy with quentin! please let me know

I’ve been there

OK I know someone has probably brought this up already but being a fan of Dark Shadows I would like to know where this house is and if anyone still lives there.
