What happens

Night of Dark Shadows is a 1971 American gothic horror film co-written, directed and produced by Dan Curtis. It is the second film based on Curtis' Dark Shadows television series, following the previous year's House of Dark Shadows. Like its predecessor, the film adapts a storyline from the then-ongoing series. It centers on the story of Quentin Collins (David Selby) and his bride Tracy (Kate Jackson) at the Collinwood Mansion, and the ghostly witch Angelique Collins (Lara Parker). John Karlen, Grayson Hall, and Nancy Barrett also star. This film marked the feature film debuts of David Selby and Kate Jackson. It was released by MGM on August 5, 1971. It failed to capture the success of its predecessor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
