Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of After hypnotically enslaving the Collins' handyman Willie Loomis Jackie Earle Haley , he returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin.
The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Elizabeth Collins Stoddard Michelle Pfeiffer , the matriarch, has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman Helena Bonham Carter , to help with her family troubles. Elizabeth is naturally hostile and suspicious about this mysterious stranger who claims to be a Collins, but after Barnabas reveals a cache of hidden treasure to Elizabeth, she agrees to let him stay Barnabas, in the guise of a cousin from England, moves back into Collinwood and becomes accepted by the rest of the family, especially by new governess Victoria Winters also played by Heathcote and young David.
Barnabas plans to first re-establish the Collins family cannery as a functioning business, something that may prove difficult as the Angel Bay company that currently controls most of the fishing business along the East Coast has contracts with all of the fishing fleets.
Barnabas overcomes this difficulty by using his hypnotic powers to "change" the minds of the fleet captains and his hidden wealth to restore the business. However, the well-respected and well-liked owner of the Angel Bay company is none other than Angelique, who in different guises over the past centuries has been responsible for the decline of the Collins family and its fortunes. When she learns of Barnabas' escape from his prison, she confronts him and mocks him as being too out-of-date to do anything to stop her.
Barnabas tells Elizabeth the truth about Angelique and she encourages him to keep fighting. Barnabas's eccentric ways are noticed by Dr.
Hoffman, who hypnotizes him using a watch, and learns the truth about him. She confronts Elizabeth, but is told to keep her mouth shut. Becoming fascinated with and by Barnabas, she begins a series of blood transfusions to try and cure him of his condition.
In the meantime, Barnabas is becoming attracted to Victoria and turns to Carolyn for advice on modern-day courtship. Barnabas and Elizabeth's plans proceed well and the Collins cannery re-opens and is successful, much to Angelique's anger. She attempts to buy Barnabas off first with money and then with herself, which results in a torrid act of supernatural passion between them.
Barnabas, however, will not be deterred, and his next step is to have the Collins family host a magnificent party to which all of Collinsport excepting Angelique will be invited. The party, with special guest performer Alice Cooper, is a smashing success, but four things are revealed: 1 Barnabas learns that Roger Collins has been stealing from the guests during the party and using his son as an unknowing accomplice; 2 he and Victoria discover that they have strong feelings for each other; 3 Victoria reveals to Barnabas her true identity and tragic past as "Maggie Evans"; and 4 Angelique who has crashed the party learns of Barnabas' feelings for Victoria.
To make matters worse, Barnabas discovers that Dr. Hoffman, instead of trying to cure him, has been transfusing his blood into herself in order to achieve immortality and eternal youth. Enraged at her betrayal, he drains her body dry of blood and life, and with Willie's help dumps her body out at sea chained to a cinder block.
Roger attempts to locate the hidden treasure that Barnabas and Elizabeth have been using, planning to steal it for himself. Barnabas catches him in the act and, instead of killing him, forces Roger to make a choice: either stay at Collinwood and be the best possible father that David deserves, or leave Collinwood forever with enough money to sustain him for the rest of his life. Roger chooses to leave and abandon David, who is heart-broken.
Seconds later, Barnabas saves David from being crushed by a falling mirror ball from last night's party, but in doing so his supernatural nature is revealed and both David and Victoria back away from him in horror.
Barnabas confronts Angelique and demands that she end his curse. She in turn demands that Barnabas become hers for all eternity. When Barnabas refuses, she uses her powers to chain him inside the same casket she had previously locked him in and has the casket transported to the Collins family crypt, intending to leave him trapped there while she completes her destruction of the Collins family.
Her first act is to magically burn down the Collins cannery and then publicly accuse Barnabas not only of the arson of the cannery but also of several murders, including Dr. Willie, who has been in the crowd listening, flees to warn the Collinses. Meanwhile, Barnabas is freed from his casket by David.
