What is a fanlisting?

Why did I made this fanlisting?


Admittingly I don't know the original series, but Ben Cross playing a vampire who happens to be the main character got me interested immediately. When it first aired in Germany, it was impossible to see all the episodes, but what little I could see - made me want to see the all of it.

So when the DVD Set came out, I ordered it without thinking for one second and to honest I never had expected to like the show that much. Usually I am not too thrilled about vampires who moan and cry about being a vampire, but this show pulled it off quite well.

Except for the two creepy kids and the religious fanatics I do like all of the regular characters. The story is quite intriguing and the love-triangle between Barnabas/Victoria/Josette is very touching.

Where does the title come from?


Most of the story takes place around Collinwood, it is were the main characters life (whether it is the old or the new house) and all of them are like threatened by Angelique's curse. As night is sometimes associated with supernatural threats, I chose "Night over Collinwood" to summarize it all together.
