Dark Shadows
Created by Dan Curtis
On NBC
A gothic supernatural soap opera that weaves time travel and vampire mythology into a melodramatic exploration of curse, transformation, and doomed romance across centuries.
Governess Victoria Winters' arrival at the great estate of Collinwood in Collinsport, Maine coincides with vampire Barnabas Collins being released from his coffin, Dr. Hoffman's attempt to cure Barnabas' vampirism medically, and, finally, Victoria's time travel back to 1790 to witness the events in which the still-human Barnabas is transformed into an undead creature.
