A collection of 254 DARK SHADOWS VHS tapes is for sale on Ebay for 389.88, though you might have to add a wing to your home to store them. For comparison, DARK SHADOWS: THE COMPLETE ORIGINAL SERIES DVD set is selling for $349.96 on Amazon. I'm not sure that comparison is entirely fair, but you won't need to hire a private librarian to curate the DVD collection.
At about 7.5 ounces per tape, this VHS collection should weight about 120 lbs. Feel free to check my math, though.
That's an amazing collection. I love my coffin set and would never trade anything for it, but the VHS box art is pure eye candy. Also, the blue lettering and artcovers for the Beginning episodes have always stolen my attention, and they're my favorites to look at. I own a few volumes, but I hope someday to own all of these. Not sure if this is true, and absolutely correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard (from a fan at the festival that I stood in line with) that some of the special features at the end of the VHS tapes were not transferred to the DVDs. I would love to know. Either way, it does give me incentive to own the VHS set someday. Love this post!
