Starring: Grayson Hall, Jonathan Frid, Alexandra Isles, Nancy Barrett
Factual error: 1968: The basement's brick wall crumbles to reveal Trask's skeleton hanging in the alcove. Only it shouldn't be. Bodies do not remain assembled once the flesh and sinew are gone. Trask's remains ought to be a large pile of bones on the floor.
Factual error: 1966: Ohrbach's, the fashion house that supplied Dark Shadows with costumes throughout its run, suffered the indignity of seeing its name misspelled as "Orhbach's" in many of the 1966 credit crawls.
Visible crew/equipment: Episode 1065, year 1995. The shadow of a boom mike against the wall is visible as it rises out of the scene when Barnabas and Julia exit the room.
Angelique: Let me give you one word of advice, Dr. Hoffman. The pursuit of Barnabas Collins can lead to nothing but misery. He is a cold, harsh, unresponsive man."
Dr. Julia Hoffman: Who made him that way?
Trivia: Exteriors for Collinwood were shot at what was then known as "Seaview Terrace" in Newport, Rhode Island. Now known as the Carey Mansion, the building has recently been made accessible for group events, and now hosts an annual gathering of Dark Shadows fans.
Question: What is the meaning of the facial mark on Countess Du Pres (and noticed once on Naomi Collins)? It changes location and shape. Why?
Answer: It sounds like you're referring to "mouches." These were false beauty marks that women wore and were popular in 18th-century Europe, during the reign of Marie Antoinette. They were small patches of silk or velvet that could be applied to the face in various sizes and shapes, such as stars or crescents, to highlight certain features or cover blemishes.
