"Dark Shadows-The beginning Collection 5==We are now well into the Supernatural-Joan Bennett and Louis Edmounds carry the story lines-The rest of the young cast our beginng to show their acting chops as their characters take shape. The casting is good and the scripts are sharpe. Black and White was the best way to go here creates a perfect atmosphere for the story line."

Neglected but worth having.

"I don't know why MPI didn't release Dark Shadows from the beginning of the series; the first year is definitely worth watching. The early warring with Burke Devlin seemed a bit dragged out until the murder of Bill Malloy. The Beginning Volume 5 is very suspenceful as we watch the 2nd supernatural plot line of the series play out. Not only is it good in it's own right, but it is an important background story for when Laura reappears in the Barnabus years. I've enjoyed these early episodes very much, they are a must for any Dark Shadows fan. Dark Shadows has a cinematic quality to it that has not been rivaled by any other soap opera in television history. The special effects were very advanced for the 1960s. I guarantee that fans of the suspence/horror genre won't be dissapointed either."
