A Vampire for All Seasons

From "A Vampire for All Seasons" by Robert Higgins (TV Guide, July 13, 1968)



Jonathan Frid on playing Barnabas Collins:

"There are vast inconsistencies in Barnabas's character.  Being an involuntary vampire (are there any voluntary vampires?), Barnabas murders one minute and, in the next, he's joining the family to pass judgment on someone else's behavior.  He is rather presumptuous.  I play him as a combination Macbeth and Richard III.  When he's guilty he's Macbeth and when he's cunning and ruthless he's Richard.  It works out splendidly."
