DS Collectibles

Growing up I didn't really collect many "Dark Shadows" items.  I was in the official fan club for a couple years, I still get the flyers in the mail a couple times a year.  I bought a few VHS/DVD copies of the films or original soap opera.  But that was about it.

I have always wanted Josette's music box.  For those of you who aren't familiar with DS, Josette Du Pres was Barnabas Collins' fiance- well when he was human!  Right before they were to marry, he gave her a beautiful music box that played a distinctive tune.  Back in the 60's stores sold a replica and since then, more replicas have been made.  They aren't cheap but I would love to get one in my collection!

Then for Barnabas fans, there were replicas of his black onyx ring and also his silver topped can that had the shape of a wolf (crook wolf to be exact) on it.  These are two other items I would love to buy!

Below is a photo of Jonathan Frid (Barnabas Collins) with his cane and ring:

Here is a closeup shot of a replica cane:

Yet another photo of the late Jonathan Frid aka Barnabas Collins posing with full costume, including his infamous cane and ring- and in the background is his portrait that he had posed for decades before when he was still human. ;-)

If you have an extra $600 to spare, the original company who made Jonathan Frid's cane for the show, still makes replicas.  CLICK HERE to take a peak...

And here is a photo of a replica Barnabas ring:

I remember seeing this game listed and for sale on Ebay.com  I should have snatched it up while I could, but there was a bidding war and it was getting up to around sixty bucks!  Would be really cool to have this DS game though:

For any of you DS fans, check out the Dark Shadows Online website, you can find anything from Josette's music box, to books written about different cast members:
