It’ll set you back over four hundred bucks, but for the hardcore Dark Shadows fan this is a dream collectible.

MPI Home Video has released a coffin boxset of all 1,225 episodes of Dark Shadows on 131 discs at 470 hours of running time. It will be available in a limited edition of 2000 on July 10. A similar limited (just how “limited” is this really?) edition was released last month. It included an autographed photograph of Jonathan Frid and a mini-book and sold out as soon as it hit the market. It has since doubled in value with boxsets selling for close to a grand. Dark Shadows fans are indeed hardcore…or gullible.

And while we’re on the subject of Dark Shadows, the reviews are coming in for the Tim Burton and Johnny Depp re-make and the critics’ fangs are covered in blood. Proof that vampires can’t be resurrected from the dead.
 

 
I wonder if the folks at MPI Home Video are Misfits fans.
