DS/Barnabas Collins Game

[Gerard]

I have the Dark Shadows/Barnabas Collins Milton Bradley game, discovered a few years ago at a flea market, in very good condition, the only thing missing were the fangs.  Well, this past week, while doing some much-needed going-through-stuff-why-on-earth-was-I-keeping-this-out-it-goes cleaning, I found a pair of fangs I had forgotten I even had.  I then remembered, that many, many years ago a friend gave them to me, saying that they were from the DS game she had as a kid.  The question is, are they?  They are both upper and lower, connected at the "jaw".  Does anyone else have the game and know what the fangs looked like?  Does this sound like them?

Sorry, Gerard - the game's fangs were only uppers. 

[Gerard]

Ah, rats, mice and fleas!  Well, maybe I can chop the lowers off and stick the uppers in the box and then try and pawn the whole thing off on some unsuspecting pigeon - I mean collector!

P.S.  Actually, even sans fangs, I'd never give that game away.  I'll be buried with it, and if any collector wants it, he'll hafta wait 170 years and break into my coffin to get it.

ROFL. But I feel the same about my DS stuff, too.

You're taking your collection with you?  The people at the Smithsonian are going to be crushed.

I've got both the Barnabas Collins and Dark Shadows games tucked away somewhere in the vault. The BC game is missing a lot of pieces, including the fangs, but the DS game (which I adored playing as a kid) is completely intact, even the paper "gameboard." It'll probably get buried with me too.

the DS game (which I adored playing as a kid)

Even as a kid I preferred that game because it was a lot more fun to play. I haven't played it in more than 30 years - but that may change in a few months if a certain group of someones is lucky.

If you come knocking at my door, I will not let you in.

I had that game and could almost swear that it had the upper and lower fangs.  I wonder if they made different versions of it.

So maybe there's a slight chance that these fangs I've got might be the real thing!  I guess it's just wishful thinking.  But just to make sure, I'm gonna use my Milton Bradley Dark Shadows I-Ching wands and see if I can go back in time just to check and make sure.

I don't believe I ever saw the Dark Shadows game.  I did enjoy the Barnabas Collins game, although the novelty wore off quickly.

It would be fun to have a semi role-playing Dark Shadows game along the lines of Clue.  Players could be cursed as vampires or werewolves or get to be gypsies or witches.  I know what I'd want to be. *g*

What do you mean "get to be" witches?

Hi Gerard never had that game at all.
  Now if it was a Q-man one I'D BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!

I suppose anything is possible. But in all the promotional materials and on the box itself the kids are only wearing upper fangs. (And inside the box the spot to store the fangs has only two holes. Does anyone have a game where that isn't the case?)

Now if it was a Q-man one I'D BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!

Now, if it was the Quentin Collins/DS Game, I could see both upper and lower fangs because werewolves have both sets.
