Angeliqué - Beautiful but wicked witch featured on the fantasy drama DARK SHADOWS/NBC/1991. Angeliqué (Lysette Anthony) cursed Barnabas Collins (Ben Cross) when he spurned her advances of love. And because Barnabas declared his love for Josette Dupres (Joanna Going), Angeliqué casts a love spell to pair Josette with Barnabas' brother Jeremiah Collins thus keeping Barnabas free to marry herself. When Barnabas discovered figures in Angeliqué's room used to cast the love spell, he confronts Angeliqué and vows he will never love her. Angered, Angeliqué tries to stab Barnabas with a knife but in the ensuing struggle she falls on the blade. As she dies, she declares "I curse you, Barnabas. For all eternity, I curse you." Soon after Barnabas is bitten by a vampire who appears in the image of his love Josette. From the grave Angeliqué cries "Your hell shall take whatever shape I choose." Within a few days Barnabas dies, followed by Josette, who jumped off Widow's Hill five days after her beloved Barnabas expired. Barnabas is resurrected 200 years later only to wander the lonely future pining over the lose of his love Josette and still haunted by the spirit of Angeligué
