Summary: Dark Shadows continues on DVD!
Review: Barnabas Collins and the rest of the gang return for more on Dark Shadows DVD Collection 2! This Collection, which contains VHS Volumes 5-12 on 4 discs, is more of a transitional set. In these episodes, the storylines from Collection 1 come to a close and the new storylines begin. Right off the bat, we see the conclusion of the Barnabas kidnapping Maggie storyline, and then we focus on the impending wedding of blackmailer Jason McGuire and Elizabeth Collins Stoddard. Near the end of this Collection, we see the introduction of Dr. Julia Hoffman, who arrives at Collinwood to investigate Maggie's disappearance.

Also on these DVD's we get bonus interviews from Dan Curtis (Producer), Nancy Barrett (Carolyn Stoddard), Dennis Patrick (Jason McGuire), and Alexandra Moltke (Victoria Winters). Once again, the picture and sound qualities are in great shape. Also like the first Collection, these episodes are all in black and white. Looking forward to Collection 3, which will include color episodes!

Summary: Dark Shadows is finally resurrected
Review: Each episode of this cult classic pulls you deeper and deeper into the storyline. This ongoing DVD collection is a must have for anybody who has ever enjoyed watching the show. Dark Shadows fans finally have something to look forward to with the monthly releases from MPI. The first collection was very impressive and the second one will surely follow in its footsteps. Dark Shadows will live on forever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Finally
Review: Finally We,the fans, have Dark Shadows on DVD.Aside from the obvious benefits of DVD over VHS we have the full uncut episodes,not the ones trimmed for todays commercials.The picture and sound are as good as they're going to get.The interviews with they series stars are an added bonus.Hopefully when MPI is done they will have released episode 1 to 1245.I'm just still trying to find an easter egg on the first 2 releases .

Summary: Dark Shadows is finally resurrected
Review: Finally, after years of waiting, Dark Shadows is now on DVD. It's about time. This set will begin to close off the Barnabas kidnapping Maggie storyline, and begin to start up the Julia trying to cure Barnabas storyline. If you are a fan of the show, these DVD sets are a must have. If you are a fan of gothic horror or classic horror, like the old Hammer films, then this is the series for you. It's timelessly addictive, and will never die. A true television legend. Long live Dark Shadows!

Summary: Fascinating American gothic.
Review: For the true fan this is a real treat. I feel confident that you'll readily forgive the occasional video imperfections since one gets so easily engrossed in these stories. I sure did. For those of us who loved Dark Shadows the first time, this is a real nostalgic treat; like seeing old friends.

Summary: Better than Collection 1
Review: I'm going to review the content of Collection 2 instead of the series like the other reviewers here. It should be mentioned that the 8 weeks of episodes on collection 2 are a big improvement over collection 1 which was good, but a little slow at times. By these episodes, the writers seemed to have figured out what to do with Barnabas and a few old stale plot lines are tossed to the curb. I think that new fans who bought collection 1 but were on the fence about whether to check out collection 2 or not should go ahead and give it a try. I'm convinced the improved pacing of these episodes will make you a fan!
