HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS and NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS vs. the Original Series

We all know that House of Dark Shadows was Dan Curtis' gleeful attempt to re-envision the "Introduction of Barnabas" storyline the way he wanted it to done in the first place:  very bloody, everybody dead, including one very staked vampire ancestor.  And Night of Dark Shadows borrows from 1970 Parallel Time (and DuMaurier's Rebecca ... again).  Just for funzies, let's see how scenes from the original series stack up against their cinematic counteparts, shall we?
