== Synopsis ==
Teaser
My name is Victoria Winters. Storm winds lash the Great House of Collinwood and all within it, for a secret has been uncovered. A secret as ancient as the house itself. A secret that on this night will turn friend against friend -- and death will claim one of them.
Dr. Julia Hoffman and Sheriff George Patterson are forced to stake Professor Michael Woodard when he, now a vampire, attacks them in his home. Victoria Winters meets the ghost of Sarah Collins, who gives Victoria her diary from the eighteenth century in an effort to warn Barnabas Collins about the spirit of Angelique. David Collins, mystically controlled by his mother Laura, uses a voodoo doll to attack his father, and Maggie Evans tells Victoria that Laura is a witch.
