Notes & Trivia

• This episode is included on disc 2 of Dark Shadows DVD Collection 6 and disc 46 of the Dark Shadows: The Complete Original Series DVD collection.

• Opening narration: Grayson Hall.

• Closing still: Collins fishing shack.

• This episode was recorded on February 5th, 1968.

• Final appearance of Josette du Pres as a living character; dies in this episode. This marks one of the most quintessential episodes of the entire series.

• Final appearance of Riggs, though he is referenced in future episodes.

• For some inexplicable reason, neither Natalie du Pres or Josette decide to stamp out the burning candle that has fallen onto the floor. Guess they don't care if their brand new house burns to the ground.

Allusions

Bloopers

• In this episode, Countess du Prés' beauty mark is in the shape of a clover and is on the left side of her face. In other episodes, such as episode 427, it is in the shape of a heart and is on the right side of her face. This may not necessarily be a mistake so much as a willful decision on the part of the character.
