DARK SHADOWS 616

  DARK SHADOWS  616 “I know I’ve done some terrible things to you in the past.”   “Barnabas, we’re your friends. We’re going to keep you safe.”   “I’m getting more and more confused by the moment.”   “Maggie, when a woman has a man in her power, there’s no telling what he might do.”   “Barnabas, please, don’t look at me like that.”     KLS. The narration   talks of a sky red. Same reprise. Same Barnabas voice over. And this time the entire reprise looks exactly the same as the last week’s. And it’s long at 3:32.   Julia calls for Willie, frantic. When Willie gets to her and sees the marks, he is worried, too. They thought he was safe forever.   He asks what do they do. She says, “I don’t know.”   He asks who did this. She says, “I just don’t know anymore.”   Willie asks if he is summoned who will he go to.

  DARK SHADOWS 615 “The things that I’ve seen.”   “The woods are….are scary.”     “I always pride myself   on not saying too much.”   “I don’t know. He was standing there at the window, listening to those dogs.”       Lara Parker. The narration tells us that police sirens once again ring out on the great estate of Collinwood. It is 11-1-68 . Sheriff Patterson, now played by someone named Alfred Sands who looks like Robert, the brother on EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, questions a distraught Mrs. Johnson. She does not want to live through a day like that again. “The things I’ve seen.”   She knows Joe since he was a boy, his whole life really. She is worried about what happens at the Old House. Julia overhears Patterson questioning Johnson and finds out that Joe tried to strangle Barnabas that way.

  DARK SHADOWS 614 “I mind more suffocating to death in a coffin.”   “I don’t care how strange it is to people.”   “Oh, Liz, so many, many things have gone on in this house, so many strange things that have been attributed to the Collinses. For Carolyn’s sake, for David’s –we shouldn’t encourage this kind of reputation.”        “I just can’t figure out people anymore. It’s as though everyone has lost control of his senses, even a sane man like Mr. Barnabas.”       “I don’t know. I hate it here. The dead walk here. We can’t see them but they do, I know it.”   “There are spirits here, watching us, envying us, because they want to live, they hate us because   we’re alive.”   “Everyone tells me the sensible thing to do is the crazy thing to do.”     “Mom, something weird has happened down there.”   “Joe Haskell, he was trying to kill Mr. Barnabas.”   “Kill Barnabas?...
