As portrayed by Susanna Cappellaro in the 2012 adaptation. Naomi Collins was the wife of Joshua Collins and the mother of Barnabas Collins. She is shown in the film's opening scenes leaving with her husband, son and servants from Liverpool to the New World in 1760. When they arrived at Maine, Naomi and Joshua founded the fishing village of Collinsport and at Widows' Hill they started to build the family house of Collinwood. When the house is finished, Naomi and Joshua with their son watch in pride from Widows Hill of the strong village they have founded. Many years later Barnabas has become a playboy and breaks the heart of Angelique Bouchard, a family servant, for another woman. An enraged Angelique who is also a powerful witch decides to destroy the Collins Family, first she kills Naomi and Joshua using a spell to make a stone statue shaped like a sea horse fall on the elderly couple when they were taking a stroll around Collinwood.
However their deaths were ruled as an accident but Barnabas knew that Angelique had killed his parents, he was also cursed by Angelique into becoming a vampire and traps him in a coffin. 200 years pass for Barnabas to be released from his coffin and he makes his way to Collinwood where he meets the remaining memebers of the Collins Family. When Barnabas arrives at his home he sees a painting of his parents hanging in the wall.
