Barnabas Collins

As a daytime vampire, you achieved great popularity. Your acting skills have displayed your awesome versatility. Each afternoon, I ran home from school to see you on TV. The producer of the show would also bring forth a movie. In your same role, you would wreak havoc in the community. In Collinsport, Maine, you were pursuing a girl named Maggie. She would resemble Josette, whom you were supposed to marry. Such an unfortunate vampire; we saw you playing the part of a night creature we would love to pound a stake in your heart! At first, we all thought you were evil, but you were very good. You assumed the person of a descendent of Collinwood. When you were freed from your chained coffin in a mausoleum, you dwelled among your living relatives as a conundrum. You would go after the throats of your American cousins. Who would need Count Dracula when we’ve got Barnabas Collins? Each day, we would see you get into a new predicament. For several years, you provided us with great entertainment.
