Update now to the castle. It is a private home, and being restored. Ghost Hunters just did a show from there, and it was pretty interesting seeing the inside of the house for the first time. Since the tv show used a studio for the interior, and just the castle as the exterior.
Collinwood obviously employs Gallifreyan technology. It's smaller on the inside than on the outside. And you can walk through the front door, through a short hallway, across a small drawing room, and magically there are windows on the other side... with a view of the tower room across the way.
Nice video footage of the house. I enjoyed the the show's opening and closing audio sequences serving as a framing device. One can imagine Victoria Winters stepping out for a quick trip to Collinsport. It's very clear to see that the ivy growth has been removed, as it was apparently a threat to the condition to the building's facade.
the sign at Salve Regina calls it Carey Mansion. They sometimes have concerts there. I've seen at least one DS publicity photo where the place is overgrown with weeds. Maybe there was a period of neglect before it was donated to the university.
best soap opera ever - imaginative, campy, mellow dramatic, great story line, ahead of it's time - all the ingredients needed for a winner. Never been another one like it. My mom used to watch this show religiously - after I got her hooked on it as a little girl.
I visited the house the real name for the house is seaveiw terrace the family all died out and left it for the Salve Regina University. I went to the house in a thurderstorm It was amazing!! and the student let me in to wander around but it was nothing like the show at all I also got to walk to widow hill on the cliffs at the ocean side I will never forget it the house that blew up in true lies movie is just down from this one and is the office for the campus.
I think the Old House was in Tarrytown New York, on the property of the Mansion used in the movie Night of Dark Shadows. It burnt down. I may be mistaken, but I think I read this somewhere.
WOW!!! Thanks for posting this. I also loved the show, ran home from school each day to watch it, also wanted to live there. So nice to know it is being restored. Yes, it would be perfect if Johnny Depp used it for the new movie. I can't wait as he will be perfect as Barnabas, maybe even better than Jonathan Frid.
We were just there in person two weeks ago. The Carey's who own it are wonderful people and are now in the process of restoring it. The Salve Regina school is now out. The inside of the mansion is wonderful!!! It's every bit as fabulous as the outside. One of the guys in our group knows the Carey's personally so we were able to explore "Collinwood" for a whole day. It's actually called "Seaview Terrace"
OK I know someone has probably brought this up already but being a fan of Dark Shadows I would like to know where this house is and if anyone still lives there.
What a shame, that big grassy area is perfect for horseshoes, been bags, volley ball, or a softball game. It wouldn't matter to me if it were mortals or immortals playing.
I watched the show as a kid I was very grown up and Mom and Dad left me at home in the summer I sometimes watched but was scared back then I wouldnt mind to see the estate pretty neat .......... I,am a little braver today anyone ever make a video tape of it at night no one still lives their ?
Thanks for this wonderful video, it's nice to know it's still around. What a shame about the Old House, I believe the place was deserted in reality too. "Collinsport" is still around, don't recall the name of the place until I get my books out again.
Since moving to CT I have been to Newport several times, and each time I make sure to spend some time walking around "Collinwood" and absorbing the energy of the place. Thanks for posting this!
Great video! I last saw the old girl in 1990, and it's nice to know she's still holding her own! Wouldn't it be great if Johnny Depp used it in the upcoming "Dark Shadows" movie?
check out 4:25 minutes into the video, and pause at the window...I don't know about ya'll but I swear there is someone looking out of that glass door!!!
Wow. Does this ever make me emotional. Is there any possibility of you making it an option to see this with the "Watch in high quality" option now available here on You Tube?
I have family who live in Bristol, RI, a neighbor city to Newport. When we visied during Dark Shadows' run on the air, we used to drive by & saw the house. On a dark, stormy night when Narragansett Bay wsa rough seas, it looked just like the entrance, especially near the cliffs. We almost saw Barnabas behind every tree & bush. The poster who mentioned tours until Oct. was right and a lot of fans still visit, even though the show first aired 40 years ago. Great clip. Thanks!
The first voice over was the very first episode, the final voice over was the very last episode. I shot the video myself when I was in Newport a couple of weeks ago. The house is used as a dormitory for upperclassmen from Salve Regina University. To my knowledge the house is not open for tours. and I too wish I could live there!
it's located in newport rhode island. it is now a school for boys and they live there during the school year. it's also opened until october for tourism. alot of us dark shadows fans go there and visit.
thank you for this,this is so awesome! I love it and the show,of course.Is it open for the public?

Had it not been a college dormitory, the house would've made a terrific bed and breakfast place.
