Dark Shadows Page #3

Synopsis: In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth C

the complexity of this

magnificent chandelier

can only be found in

the palace of nobility

The fireplace

Sculptured entirely of

most exquisite of marbles

from city, Florence, Italy

and joined creating more power

Are you stoned or something?

They try stoning me my

dear, and did not worked

When did they start allowing woman

on the night on this day, servant?

Caroline

- Look

- Ah yes

Uncanny is it not?

Worth every hour I spent posing

Forgive me, my name is Barnabas Collins

I'm David Collins

- Are we?

- Relatived?, distantly you might say

It was a pleasure to make your

acquaintance master David

Children

Get away from that man

He says his name was Barnabas Collins

and I'm pretty sure

he called me a hooker

That will do Caroline

A word, please

If this is some kind of a joke,

considered it played

If its money you're after,

I'm afraid you been misinformed

But who ever you are, you are to

not look at those children again

Am I clear?

Your diversion to family

is admirable madam

and your suspicions

understandable

A stranger arrive, claiming

to be a distance relation

question of motive is to be expected

As a Collins

surely you are aware of the darkness

that have long played in our family

You mean our curse?

Which is ghosts and vampires

Myths

and like so many before you

I suppose you are to get

rid of them for a price of course

I can prove as I am different

Firstly, I do not come seeking

money rather to provide it

Secondly,

I know the of this mansion

as well as my own

Every nook, every corner

Every secret

There's where I keep my things

A disgraceful misuse

Impressive

but there are plenty of

old houses with hidden doors

I hope you have a Thirdly

Indeed, tell me

What do you know

- of Barnabas Collins

- Just legends really

He was confident and strong

Admires by all

but he believe our

family was cursed and

when his parents were

killed, he went mad

went around insisting that witch

had turned him into a vampire

What is known of his death?

Nothing

- Not that I can think of

- Thats madam

is because he never died

I am Barnabas Collins

- That means your

- A vampire, Madam

Yes

and most regrettably so

but more importantly I am a Collins

And I give you a word of honor

rather you or many or

any under this roof need fear

my cursed nature

My father had a quite of flare

of secret passages and rooms

as a boy

I took it upon myself to

discover each one

but this one, this one was

always my favourite

Family is the only real

wealth that worth a lot

though clearly

he did not oppose to other kind

Oh my God

We been sitting on top of

a fortune all these years

know this
