I started the revival set today, and after watching the pilot I have to say that I can see the problems. Barnabas chasing after his dead sister in daylight??? Obviously it should have been nighttime. I think MGM remastered this TOO much.
Yep, I think they filmed several scenes in this show as "day for night" and "graded" the picture to make it look like night-time in post-production. MGM probably screwed up and "corrected" the picture.

That being said, I'll finish watching them, but I will be tracking down the MPI VHS set when I'm through.
Glad I tracked down my set shortly after the news was leaked about the mis-framed aspect ratio. I see the asking prices for the complete set of 12 tapes have jumped up quite a bit since then.

The Bloopers & Treasures dvd came out on November21, 2006 and is available pretty much anywhere online.

"The Beginning" dvds are only available through the Dark Shadows dvd club. Apparently if you purchase the first five sets, the sixth (and final one) will be free.

Also there is a new 8-disc cd set of all the music used in Dark Shadows. I have several Dark Shadows cds already so don't know if I am really interested in this, but it's a great buy for those who don't have any cds yet:

There's a good deal right now on DS sets. See the bargains thread. (Basically, about $45 for two sets.)

also, for those who might have missed it, in the recent Warner chat at HTF, Warner mentioned that both Dark Shadows films would be coming out this year.

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/chat/warner07.txt

Q: Do you have any plans to release the 129-minute restored director's cut of Night of
Dark Shadows? Thank you!


A: We will be releasing both DARK SHADOWS movies this year but the details of the releases
are still under discussion internally and with an external consultant.

typically not. the best deals on these were generally the $36-37 prices some sites had for preorders. They typically sell for about $40-41 at the cheapest now.

Amazon is selling Collection 1 cheaply right now for $32.99
http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000060MVN
but that is the only set on sale.

Your best bet is the next 20% off sale at DeepDiscount, at least for Collections 2-26.

and of course, the only way to get the pre-Barnabas episodes is through the MPI Dark Shadows DVD Club. They are not available in stores.

Watch for a B&N sale. They had a 2-for-1 tv box set sale at the beginning of the year, plus another coupon for $10 off (printable) and the member's extra discount. I picked up every DS set (all 26 box sets) for about $540, which includes NYC tax.
