Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 6: Dark Shadows Catalogues

Here are more covers of Dark Shadows catalogues from MPI Home Video. I'm not posting every page of these catalogs because they are pretty thick (around twenty pages). The cover of the 1993 catalogue features color pictures of Jonathan Frid as Banabas Collins from the original tv series and Ben as Barnabas Collins from the 1991 revival tv series.

Notes: This 1990 Dark Shadows Catalogue originally came in an envelope that I have long since lost or discarded. The center pages are loose for some reason and I'm not sure if it came that way or not. Also, my wireless keyboard's battery died while I was writing the description for the last page scan on this post.
