Vintage 1969 Barnaby Collins Dark Shadows Board Game - $60

Barnaby? Ok. I don't know if the person can't read, is lazy, or is possibly blind, which might be about the only reason that would be forgivable when "Barnabas" is clearly in big letters on the box - not to mention in the description below...

I had the Barnaby Collins game when I was a kid.  Instead of fangs, it had dentures, and when you won, your mother became Lee Meriwether.

I've only seen the name "Barnaby" used in reference to our dear Mr. Collins a couple of times--once infamously in an issue of the Gold Key comic.  "Barnabus" is the one that will just not go away.  I always thought the Barnabus was the Collins family's VW van...
