#yeah yeah yeah we've all heard about his more famous triangular cousin but what about the real collins vampire huh.#who was here in 1966 draining years off another man's life. who spent ten years in a coffin (augusta) and came back wrong.#who knows nothing but a habitual; driving; consuming thirst.#who feeds on the youth and innocence of his governess – of his sister's hospitality – of the shelter of the collins blood.#who prefers; instead of living; to bury himself in the collins tomb.#who creates not biological sons but makes other men into monsters just like him.#also lou was really hot as a vampire for 0.5 seconds in hods. (via @widowshill)

— But it's almost midnight. — Oh, that's the point! At the stroke of twelve, he turns into Dracula. C'mon, Vicki – he won't bite.

#THE REAL COLLINS VAMPIRE. #i am ALWAYS thinking about your gifset about the metaphorical monsters of 1966. roger leaning against the wall in the entrance hall; #where barnabas's portrait will hang later. #this is SO GOOD. #i am perhaps biting things. #dark shadows #victoria winters #roger collins

you came back wrong and i am racked with guilt because i cannot bear to see you like this and i should have let you rest. i loved you so much that i defied death itself but i do not think either of us are happy

#shows of all time. to me. #it's too weird to play with a literal decayed corpse of your walled-up-alive-and-left-to-die ancestor in the room. on that i have to agree. #where else can i go for these plot developments. i ask you. #the news from collinsport #david collins #amy jennings #quentin collins #... sort of.

#ghosts #the one-two punch of 'the sherwood ring' and 'the ghost and mrs. muir' set the pattern i'm afraid #the past as something beloved but intangible OR aomething terrifying and too-present! the navy blue of monsters: incredibly versatile. #polls #a haunting tag

my problematic trait is that i don't care about the actual vampire in the show but i want everyone else to be vampries (pose ref)
