Title: Barnabas' crypt on "CBS Sunday Morning"
Post by: Midnite on November 02, 2010, 10:11:05 PM

Apparently, the tour at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery not only points out the crypt whose exterior served as the Collins Mausoleum in House of Dark Shadows, but it also takes visitors inside.

A friend just told me about a segment on cemetery tourism, hosted by Rita Braver, that was part of the recent Sunday Morning Halloween show and that eavesdropped as a Sleepy Hollow tour guide stood in front of the crypt and told visitors, "This became the home of Barnabas Collins the vampire. ... Come in!"

The entire segment has been uploaded to YouTube-- Tombstome Tourism:  The Creepiest Cemeteries (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F9XsYMjsAQ)-- and that part is 1:08 into the video.  Enjoy!

Thanks for uploading the link, Midnite.  [hall2_cheesy]

The "Collins family" tomb went by pretty quickly, but was glad they included it. I wasn't sure if there was a longshot of the tomb first, or if that was another tomb -- it was white with pillars, at 1:08. That didn't look like the same one in the closeup which seemed to have a dark facade.
