Dark Shadows fan here as well, always ran home from school back in the day, and then in the 90's would tape it on a VCR, LOL. Before bed, I'd go to Collinwood. I love this house, and have an original picture of it from a friend. Always wanted to live there...........................
Great to see this video. From 1991 to 1994 I lived in Carey Mansion when it belonged to Salve Regina University (it was a men's dorm). Those first set of doors behind you in the opening shot, that was the Music Department. Best class ever. Just walk downstairs to my class. LOL. And yes, it is haunted. I can attest to that!
@@daddystabz There were plenty of weird things that would happen. The housekeeper was walking down the hallway and was stopped mid walk. Couldn't move forward. Couldn't move backward. As if something was keeping here there for about 20 seconds and then she was free. I've heard things from the attic of that place that just shouldn't be there. Seen a woman in a blue dress basically float up the stairs. I mean, that place is truly creepy yet cool.
My best friend live in Newport all her life & is also a huge fan of our beloved DARK SHADOWS! One day we just started walking the grounds and a black dog chased us off the premises. I was SO BUMMED OUT so CLOSE but yet so far away!! She informed me that Dan Curtis made it seen like the mansion sit high on a cliff and the water is DIRECTLY BELOW which it is not. SO COOL what a brilliant writer and producer!! The ocean is further down. You can plainly confirm that if you get a chance to even peak behind the tall trees while walking on the outside pathway ( where pedistrians are only allow to walk). LOVE BARNABAS COLLINS!! Such a CLASS ACT , WELL EDUCATED, GENTLEMAN of a VAMPIRE!! BRILLIANT SHOW!! He paved the way for future vampires actors however, they WILL NEVER COMPARE TO OUR BARNABAS!! I must also commend the rest of the actors & actresses as well! MASTERPIECE STORY!!
I loved that show, and still watch the reruns. A few of the original cast are even on my FB friends list, which is awesome. I was in first grade in 1966 when the show began.
The parallel time travel concept late in the Dark Shadows series was a very innovative area. One room in the east wing of Collinwood featured parallel time travel.
Danggg all we saw was the porch. I wish yah could have walked with the camera to the other side of the tree in the way to have shown up the stained glass windows on the right side of the house where the smaller tower was, even even if it had to be further back for a more distant shot.
That is correct and at one time it was privately owned. there are Knights & Armor on display too. years ago they would actually hold events there like plays which was opened to the public if you purchased tickets.
Those look like exterior shots of Collinwood that were used for the 1995 storyline where the interior was in ruins during Barnabas and Julias trip to the future.
This house used for the exterior shots is located in Newport R.I. The house used for the exterior shot of the Old House is in New York, I believe, but definitely not in Newport. Far as I know, it was demolished years ago.
Barnabas act like he is from England. Dan Curtis and Johnathan were room mates in college. Johnathan (AKA Barnabas later on ) was a fine theater actor as well you can tell!!
Amazing ! Watched this after school every day. So glad you were able to see it!

Same here man same here... Just want to live
The iconic distance shots of Collinwood, are actually the BACK of the mansion viewed from the bottom of the gardens.

Totally awesome. My wife and I just watched the entire Dark Shadows series on DVD, and to see the real Collinwood is fantastic. Thanks for the video!
Wow congratulations and thank you for sharing hope to hear more about this

I wish they would open it for tours.
@doubleheadergr Is Seaview Terrace in Maine?? Was any of it filmed in Maine??
I love ALL these youtube videos on this house. "Don't come here you have to be invited" umm...ok....well...guess its 1 big secret. Lol
couldn't you move the camera a little bit to see more of the property?
Amazing! I sure hope you have more footage!!
Wow!! This is great!!
AWESOME😍😍😍😍😍

I think the little tower with the round window is the top of the elevator shaft.
It’s gorgeous
Well done my‘ol mate! 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😄😉👍👍
Its a beautiful house I believe Salve Regina rented out as a dorms

I believe several years ago a ghost reality show did an overnight in there. It's somewhere on RUclips.
Did u go to the old house
This house used for the exterior shots is located in Newport R.I. The house used for the exterior shot of the Old House is in New York, I believe, but definitely not in Newport. Far as I know, it was demolished years ago.
The Old House was called the Spratt Mansion in real life.
Newport, Rhode Island.
Nice 👍
lucky you
I wish ''the old house'' was still standing.
Cool video but I always like the old house better than Collingwood
yeah me too.
me, too! It actually was the original Collinwood
@@Marcel_Audubon yes I remember it was the original Collingwood
You guys all know you can buy the entire soap opera on eBay I know because I got it. Wouldn't take a million dollars for it.
It's called Seaview Terrace❤
My Nanny read the books, I watched the show later
Looks like England.
Barnabas act like he is from England. Dan Curtis and Johnathan were room mates in college. Johnathan (AKA Barnabas later on ) was a fine theater actor as well you can tell!!
TO SHORT A VIDEO NOT GIVEN ENOUGH TIME TO A PLACE TO CLAIM TO HAVE LOVED
TRY AND FILM THE FISHING VILLAGE HEARD REAL COLLINS OWN THAT VILLAGE.
The Blue Whale Bar would be another good filming catch.
@@RCmack Does it STILL exist??!! Would LOVE to dine there!!
Lived there 1987
