Collinswood is the Dark Shadows home of vampire Barnabas Collins from the TV soap opera. This is the building used for the exterior shots. It used to be a college dorm; now it is in private hands. Presently the movie "The Discover" with Robert Redford is being filmed there. This must be the ideal movie haunted house.
