Dark Shadows: 809

A new day has just dawned over the great estate of Collinwood in the year 1897. The night which just ended has been long and torturous, for the moon was full and Quentin found himself once again changing into the animal that walks like a man. And in the eerie morning light, all sleep in the tragedy-ridden mansion, except one woman — a woman who has had a disturbing, terrifying dream about Quentin and an unknown girl. And now she hurries off to the gypsy to find the dream's meaning.
