Ben (Thayer David) saves Julia (Grayson Hall) from being strangled by Daniel Collins (Louis Edmonds), the mentally unhinged patriarch of 1840 Collinwood (and a dead ringer for his 20th century counterpart, Roger Collins). Daniel is convinced that Julia is his wife, whom he killed a decade earlier. To explain away her presence in the 19th century, Julia claims to be the sister of the Collins family's English cousin, all the while planning to release Barnabas (whom she knows to be a vampire) from his coffin. Looming over the proceedings is a sinister clairvoyant by the name of Gerard Stiles (James Storm). This episode originally aired on September 28, 1970. |
