Dark Chrono Shadows Ep. MCCXL: A HAPPY and HEROIC episode ending!!!!
Episode 1240, near the very end of Dark Shadows' TV series. After seven generations of Collinses have been killed, rendered insane, or daemonically possessed by the curse of Brutus Collins, new family member Kendrick Young is sick of the defeatist attitudes toward the curse, and vows to end the curse himself by drawing the 'X' slip in the lottery and confronting Brutus head-on in the cursed room!
What happens next in the lottery is sheer amazement for a Gothic soap like Dark Shadows: the "losing" lottery slip becomes the WINNING slip when the one person who actually wants to draw it - Kendrick - gets his wildest dream come true. Instead of the usual spooky cliffhanger, the audience is treated to a rare breath of optimism, heroism, and triumphant victory!
And so the stage is set for the penultimate FINAL BATTLE between Kendrick Young and Brutus Collins - a battle that holds the promise of forever freeing the Collins family from this horrible tyranny.
