I wonder if "The Best of Barnabas" compilation is the same one that was originally released on VHS and is included in the Volume 26 DVD release.
No, both compilations are completely new, including The Best of Barnabas.
Hey Stuart--any idea if the "Complete Series" will simply be the exact disks that have already been released individually? OR, if they will be completely remastered, with all new bonus material? I just wonder because I'm one of the people who purchased EVERY set as they came out individually. How I would love to "downsize" my collection's shelf space--but man...so much money already spent!
Hi Stuart,
I would like to know the answer to Tracy's question also. Same exact disks already released in a new package or remastered ones? I also wonder if there is a plan to put them out eventially on Blu-ray?
Thanks in advance for telling us what you know. I also bought all the individual sets but would buy this new 'Complete Series' Tom
At the moment, I don't have any more info, though I think it's unlikely that the set will be all-new discs. There are no plans to put the show out on BluRay – the resolution of the tapes is too low for any upgrade picture-wise.
More news as it comes...
Anything new on "House" or "Night". I was certain that with the new movie, these would finally be out on DVD
There was an update on DVDs of the classic movies a few months back: http://darkshadowsnews.blogspot.com/2011/07/comic-con-announces-classic-cast-movie.html
House of Dark Shadows is available to rent or buy on iTunes as a download.
Any chance of a trailer for the new film with this set?
Will the box set have bonus features as well?
The set should have all the bonus features from the original releases, but there's no word yet if any new content will be included.
