Collinwood, at the turn of the century, is a maze of secrets jealously guarded. For most who dare pursue them, there is only frustration, but tonight, the maze will reveal an unexpected and dangerous turning.

We see what you did there. 👀 ^BR

Episode 984 (999)

There are few who have ever lived at Collinwood who have not known terror in some form. But no man has ever been as terrified as Quentin Collins is this night in the Old House on the Collins estate. […] Once again, Quentin is being transformed from man to beast. Art by Shawn Van Briesen

It doesn’t compare to my painting, which should be prominently displayed in its stead.

Chancing upon Cassandra Collins during a full moonlight evening. The beast within brought forth to commit terrible deeds.

It may not be my elegant phonograph, but ghostly — and ghastly! — tape recordings will have to do.

Before the vampires, witches, and ghouls—the phoenix burnt bright.

Episode 999 (1014)

The full moon coincides with the feast of Saint Barnabas. Haunting the woods of Collinsport is a great way to celebrate 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴.

Episode 866 (877)

It was May 1, 1967, when Barnabas Collins came out of the coffin, moved back into the Old House, and gave Collinsport a taste of the terror and delight I would bring years later.

Howling at the full moon.

A tribute to Humbert Allen Astredo (1929–2016) on what would have been his 96th birthday. He was a gentleman and a top professional actor in 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴 and beyond. His witch boys are a real treasure, and Evan Hanley is a laugh and a half when he's playing foil to Quentin’s schemes.

Certifiably not accursed. The portrait.

Happy birthday to David Selby! Shortly after his debut after months out of work as an actor, assistant producer Diane Paliotta presented Mr Selby with stacks of fan mail boxes, much to his incredulity. “Quentin’s overnight popularity was as surprising to me as it was to Dan [Curtis].”

𝔰𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔴𝔦𝔠𝔨𝔢𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔴𝔞𝔶 𝔠𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔰… A character study is never finished in the writing of a multi–faceted individual. Drives and desires inform Quentin’s actions. His debauchery and sorcerous proclivities put him on the path of fellow Collinsportians. Are you ready to meet him in the pale moonlight?

Post a villain you love.

Grandmama misjudged my wise friend.

“Sometimes at night, this house, when I think of all the strange and unexplained things that have happened here, it's as if a curse had been put on it.” – Episode 709

One need not be a Chamber—to be Haunted. One need not be a House. The Brain has Corridors surpassing Material Place. Far safer, of a Midnight Meeting External Ghost Than its interior Confronting That Cooler Host. […] Than Unarmed, one’s a’self encounter— In lonesome Place. —EMILY DICKINSON

There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion. — Edgar Allan Poe.

Remembering Jonathan Frid (1924–2012) on what would have been his 100th birthday. The character of Quentin Collins was written as a foil to Frid's Barnabas Collins in the 1960s soap opera 'Dark Shadows'. “We got along from the very first moment.”

Come on, sit down: come on, and do your best To fright me with your sprites; you’re powerful at it. —The Winter’s Tale, Act 2, Scene 1 Shakespeare
