Synopsis

Collinwood before the turn of the century, a time which promises death and disaster for Barnabas Collins. His secret has been discovered by two men and one has turned on the other and locked him in the secret room where the vampire lies, knowing that when Barnabas rises the man will be killed.

Trask arrives, inquiring after Judith, who is in town. Trask finds Quentin in the drawing room listening to his gramophone, and is indignant at Quentin's indulging in such pleasures.

At Collinwood, in the dark drawing room, Carl tries to use the phone, completely unaware that although the cut wire is dangling before him, the phone is out of commission. A bat shadow outside.

Trask comes into the house and Quentin tries to stall him from entering the drawing room. The body of Carl is seen by Quentin behind the curtains and it falls out to the two men.

Background information and notes

  • Final appearence of John Karlen as Carl Collins
  • Scenic Design by Sy Tomashoff

Bloopers and continuity errors

  • It seems a little out of character for Barnabas to so readily kill one of his own family members. Why not just bite Carl and have him under control?
