2. "Dark Shadows" originally started in 1966. One of the stars was on for the whole run, 1966-1971, and she was on the first and the last episodes. She was a major glamour girl in the 1940s from an acting family. Who was she?

From Quiz I'm a Boob for "Dark Shadows"

Answer: Joan Bennett

Joan Bennett started in silent films in the 1920s as a young girl. She appeared in over seventy Hollywood films such as "Little Women" (1933) and "Father of the Bride" (1950). Her father Richard Bennett was a star, as was her sister, Constance. Joan played the matriarch (Judith Collins) of the Collins family.

3. Barnabas Collins became the starring vampire in "Dark Shadows". How did he become a vampire?

From Quiz "Dark Shadows" Antics

Answer: His former lover sent a vampire bat to bite him

This show is considered the forerunner of many gothic plots on daytime soap operas to follow. It was the brain-child of Dan Curtis, who became an important producer and director of many TV successes, including "Winds of War", and other excellent productions.

4. Prior to becoming a vampire Barnabas was engaged to be married. What was the name of his fiancee?

From Quiz The Loves of Barnabas Collins

Answer: Josette Du Pres

Josette came to Collinsport in 1795 to marry Barnabas. Josette did not know that her servant Angelique was a witch and that she and Barnabas had previously been lovers. When Barnabas refused to give up Josette, Angelique cast spells that resulted in Barnabas becoming a vampire and Josette dying.

5. What is the name of the mansion the 'modern time' Collins family live in?

From Quiz Dark Shadows

Answer: Collinwood

The Collins family, of course, lived in the 'Old House' prior to the construction of Collinwood.

6. Welcome to Collinswood. Mrs. Stoddard wants us to pick up Victoria Winters. See her pale face in the train window? No family to speak of. Why in the world would Mrs. Stoddard need her?

From Quiz 'Dark Shadows', Welcome To Collinwood

Answer: She needs a Governess for that brat David.

Please listen closely the first time, (as I do not repeat gossip). I think she was Vicky's mother. Why else pay her support at the orphanage all these years? But, alas, Vicky left Collinsport, so the Scoop was never revealed!

7. For the majority of the show, one person played Carolyn Stoddard. However in two separate episodes, someone else played Carolyn. Which actress never played Carolyn?

Nancy appeared in 267 episodes as Carolyn. Diana and Lisa appeared in one episode each. Susan Dey was on a contemporary show, "The Partridge Family".

8. There was a dangerous and beautiful witch on the television series "Dark Shadows", who once had worked as a maid, and who was played by Lara Parker. Do you remember her name?

From Quiz "Dark Shadows" Characters

Answer: Angelique Bouchard

Angelique Bouchard was once Barnabas Collins' lover, but she quickly became his staunch enemy. She had worked as a maid to Josette DuPres on "Dark Shadows", and like Barnabas, she is one of the characters who spanned all eras of the show's existence, from 1696 to 1970. Angelique used her magic any way she could to thwart Barnabas' plans. Morgana Collins is a name I made up. Samantha Stephens is the benevolent sorceress who was the protagonist of a very different TV show about a witch, "Bewitched".

9. A soon-to-be "Charlie's Angel" got her start on this show. Kate Jackson played "lilac smelling" Daphne. When she first appeared on the show, who did she and her cohort, Gerard, want to die?

From Quiz "Dark Shadows" Antics

Answer: David and Hallie

Another "Angel", Jaclyn Smith, was married to "Dark Shadows" star Roger Davis. She was tested for the replacement of the original Victoria Winters, but although Dan Curtis thought she was very beautiful, he didn't like her screen test. She didn't get the role. Later, Kate Jackson was cast in a different role. She played a mute ghost named Daphne who always left the scent of lilacs when she had made a visitation. Later episodes took place in the time she lived, 1840.

10. What was the name of the innkeeper of the Collinsport Inn?

From Quiz So You Think You Know "Dark Shadows"

11. When Barnabas first arrived in modern day Collinsport, he met a woman that bore a striking resemblance to his departed love. Who was the woman that Barnabas kidnapped in an attempt to bring back his late fiancée?

From Quiz The Loves of Barnabas Collins

Answer: Maggie Evans

Convinced that Maggie could be transformed into Josette, Barnabas staged an elaborate plot to cause her to take on Josette's personality. When his plot failed he kidnapped Maggie and intended to kill her. This occurred before Barnabas became a more caring and sympathetic creature of the night.

12. In the first time travel story arc it was revealed that Barnabas Collins became a vampire in 1795. Who caused him to become one of the undead?

From Quiz The Many Monsters of "Dark Shadows"

Angelique was the servant of Barnabas' fiancee Josette and a witch. She and Barnabas had an affair. When Barnabas refused to give up Josette, Angelique out of jealousy cast several spells to make Barnabas change his decision. When none of them worked Angelique cursed Barnabas and made him a vampire.

From Quiz 'Dark Shadows', Welcome To Collinwood

She was able to come back from the dead, through the aid of magic, but she would feel the "cold of the crypt" come over her, and terrible things would happen.

17. Dramatic series always seem to have a place for characters to meet. In the case of "Dark Shadows", where was that place?

From Quiz I'm a Boob for "Dark Shadows"
