r/DarkShadows

There had been several cases in Dark Shadows where a vampire was killed either by staking or by being exposed to sunlight. We all know it was a common thing for the vampire to scream upon dying (In fact, almost all of them had, with the one exception being Dirk Wilkins). In your opinion, which one sounded the scariest?

When did the people in Collinsport stop believing in the supernatural or other stuff like that

It’s pretty much known that Collinsport is full of supernatural activity’s with their being warlocks, witches, Gypsies, werewolf’s, vampires and other such creatures existing

In the 1690s, most of the town residents knew of the existence of the warlocks and witches and the gypsies

In the 1790s, the town knew of witches as well. There was even told to be a pet unicorn at that time.

In the 1890s, local Gypsies basically lived in Collinsport and everyone knew that; and they were also aware of the tribe of Gypsies. They were also aware of the occult to some degree

By the 1960s timeline, the whole town (despite there being, that’s the main theme) dismiss most supernatural things in the show and don’t believe in that stuff or that a house can be haunted and that the occult is even real and some people don’t believe that Jeremiah Collins or Josette existed and that is all mythology. When did that start happening that they stopped believing

I mean even some of the older folks and residents, Elizabeth, Roger, Sam Evans, Burke Devlin and Jason McGuire didn’t believe in those stuff. So, by the time of their youth, 1930s-1940s; those things weren’t as common. So, when did die down? I mean Liz and Roger’s father, Jamison knew about them and even in old audio books, show Gypsies living around Collinsport in 1915

Welcome to the Dark Shadows Trivia Game 🕯️🦇🧛

Rules are simple:

1. One person posts a Dark Shadows trivia question 🧛
2. Questions should be challenging but fair for longtime fans 🦇
3. The first person to answer correctly gets to post the next question 🕯️
4. Questions can involve plots, characters, actors, props, locations, bloopers, timelines, creatures, or anything else connected with the show 👻
5. If a question goes unanswered for 24 hours, the person who asked it may post the answer and then submit a new question 🕷️
6. 6 you have to answer the most recent question, if that is not too much of a bother for you

Have fun wandering the corridors of Collinwood 🕯️🦇

The person who posted the question should confirm the correct answer before the next question is posted 🕯️

Otherwise we may end up with several competing questions at once 👻

First question: 

whose song begins: “I’m going to dance for you”?

I’m calling it the Big Giant Head just for amusement (Third Rock From The Sun reference). And it’s boring. Maybe if it weren’t dragged out so much it would be better, but that’s the soaps, of course.

And also tired of Gerard. It’s so obvious what a creep he is that I don’t get how anyone is fooled. He barely tries to pretend he’s something else.

Thank you for letting me vent!

i was wondering if you folks have a question and answer game of dark shadows plots, characters, props, etc…

one person posts a specific question, neither too difficult nor too easy for the true devotees of the show

whoever has the answer posts the reply directly on the thread and then has the privilege of posting a new question

is this kind of thread already in existence?

if not, is anyone interested in it?

(Trivia, as suggested yesterday in another post)

u/jamisonian123 - is this one also too easy? Hard to gauge

What are your favorite and least favorite storylines?

And did he inherit more of Edward’s personality or Quentin’s as a father? And how was he like as a father, because Elizabeth remembered him fondly so he must of not exactly been like Edward.

nobody on the show liked him. they all had a motive to kill him

last time i saw him he was surrounded by a pack of dogs. is that how he died? and who sent those dogs???!

i would have guessed barnabas sent them because jason had just beated up poor old willie loomis. but ChatGpt seems to think that it was burke devlin who sent those dogs! weird!

any experts on the early plot lines out there?

by the way thanks for having this subreddit! I still fondly remember rushing home from second and third grade to catch the show
