The Dream Curse reaches a climax.
Synopsis
Teaser
- Another day will soon come to an end at Collinwood, and when night comes a frightening moment from the past will come with it to be relived in all its horror. Inside the great house of Collinwood, Victoria Winters continues to suffer from the effects of a strange and terrible dream. She knows now that the fate of one man, Barnabas Collins, is in her hands. For this reason she lives in mortal fear that the next person who enters Collinwood may be Barnabas, and she knows if it is and she sees him, he may be doomed forever.
Julia tries to get Vicki away from Collinwood, but Barnabas arrives. Despite Julia’s objections, he is resigned to accepting his curse. Vicki says she doesn’t want to see Barnabas die...and they can’t let Cassandra win. Vicki remembers that Barnabas died in 1795, but doesn’t seem to notice that that means Barnabas can’t be his descendant. Barnabas tells Vicki he loves her, and would go to his grave before seeing her life destroyed. Vicki tells Barnabas the dream. Julia’s lamentations cause Vicki to realize her fondness for Barnabas; strangely, they use the past tense. Cassandra comes in; Julia slaps her without a word. Cassandra vows revenge; Vicki says she deserves “a great deal more than just a slap on the face”. Cassandra gloats.
Barnabas refuses Julia’s offer of a stimulant, saying he’s already digested a sleeping pill. Barnabas tells Julia that he’s ordered Willie to stake him after the end of the dream. Julia reluctantly agrees as Barnabas falls asleep. Barnabas has the dream, with Cassandra as his beckoner. He hears the tune and sees the Skull; hears the laugh and sees the Bride; sees the guillotine; then hears the "head of blazing light" while seeing a blazing light...he is taken, much like Vicki, to the Old House. He walks around, waiting for her...but only wakes up shouting “Cassandra!” to Julia. He feels he’s won, and sends Julia down to get Willie. He hears a knock on the door, opens it, and is attacked by a bat.
