Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't Waste Your Money
Very disappointing...would of been better if maybe Jonathan Frid or another cast member had narratored the mishaps for us. Some of the bloopers are not apparent and have to be pointed out with a little white arrow (boring) and we are just subjected to one scene after another. The outtakes are also disappointing - most of them are of the actors or a stage hand holding the number slate.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - OOPS! Lara Parker says "Hollywood" instead of Collinwood.
It seems that most of the main cast has made a blooper during their time on the live soap opera "Dark Shadows" (1966-1971). As the videobox says, "Dark Shadows was videotaped virtually live without stopping the camera". "Modern videotape editing was not yet commonly available". See the entire cast in their most embarassing moments and under pressure of live videotaping, Lara Parker, Jonathan Frid, Grayson Hall, Joan Bennett, Nancy Barrett, Louis Edmonds, Kathryn Leigh Scott, John Karlen, David ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Sad
Don't get me wrong; I am a huge fan. That's why I bought the video. But it was mostly a bore and disappointment. Big deal if the actors stumble over some lines or if some candles go out. The outakes were interesting but they seem to only represent maybe 10% of the video.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Very funny, but missing something
This is an incredibly funny video and a must for any DS fan, but the problem is....:

The box talks about bloopers and out takes, but there are so many bloopers and not enough outtakes. I love to see when actors have to stop and break character.

Alas, that is why this video has 3 stars and not five.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fascinating viewing, though not for the intended reason...
Bloopers are bloopers -- if you've seen one, you've seen them all. Be they line flubs, accidents, misadventure or the result of downright ineptitude, to watch a blooper compilation of any sort usually amounts to an invitation to extreme repetition.

Two important factors distance "Dark Shadows Bloopers" from these pitfalls: the fact that with no facility for retakes, the show had to plough ahead regardless; and the way in which they succeed in offering a rounded overview of the production ... Read More
