Angelique

Angelique's celebration of sorts.

“Must I alone bear the fruit of this cursed family tree?”

I was appreciative of the decision to keep the rivalry between Angelique and Barnabas intact (well, somewhat). That was an importance in how the show became such a benchmark during the height of its popularity. Barnabas cursed vampirism an act of sorcery on her part, because he could not love her as he did another, Josette. In the film she goes after the fishing business and is successful. Because she couldn’t have Barnabas’ heart, she would soon have him buried alive and cursed Josette with having to suicide off of Widow’s Hill. So, Barnabas is “rescued” thanks to construction workers he soon feeds from. A new family of Collins awaits and Barnabas forges a partnership with Elizabeth Collins Stoddard. Barnabas intends to return his family to prominence and wage war with “Angie” over the fishing business. Eventually, of course, the war will be at Collinwood, a mansion engulfed in flames. Angelique’s fate is an interesting one, a body that shatters like porcelain.
