      I think they were all prints. I honestly did not get too close a look after I saw the price tags.

            The Barnabas portrait on the left in the picture with multiple prints is the one he had painted by Sam Evans while he was out biting his daughter. ;-) It hands over the mantle in the Old House in modern times.

            I haven't gotten to any of the Quentin Episodes, but i know they go all "Dorian Gray" with his character and portrait.

            Great find! Someone must have been a big DS fan!!!

              Unless the pricing was insane, I'd have had a hard time not leaving with one of those....

                They were $30 per picture. A little over the top for an impulse buy for me; especially since I don't really have a place to put them. I discovered that the Quentin trio are available from a seller on eBay. I had originally thought the werewolf was Jennings, but then realized it was all the same suit and were from the Dorian Grey-esque storyline. Mostly I was just agog at seeing that much Dark Shadows love being sold at my local small town thrift.

                  One other funny bit was the aged photo was hidden behind the counter and not displayed with the rest.

                      Indeed, the frames cost more than that.

                        Looks like the first two were signed, unless the signiture was part of the picture.

                          Those are cool though. I have never actually seen an episode of Dark Shadows but for a while years and years ago I kept on coming across Dark Shadows items at garage sales and thrift stores. I found the board game, the first harder to find one, as well as the soundtrack LP, paperback book, and several issues of the Gold Key comic book. I regret selling off the board game but I still have the comic books. I dig the music and I recently bought a 30th Anniversary soundtrack CD at an antique/consignment store. I saw a couple of movies(made for tv movies?)but I still haven't actually seen the show to this day and I've had the comic books for probably 25 years!

                            The movies were theatrical, and the first one "Night of Dark Shadows", loosely adapted the initial Barnabas storyline.

                            The series is streaming on both Amazon Prime and Hulu. I've been binge-watching since it hit Prime in January. I've watched 200 episodes!

                              I bought the first season with Barnabas on DVD but honestly I have a hard time sitting through it. storylines are solid but the acting and sets are just so bad it is hard to watch
