Dark Mansions is a 1986 television film starring Joan Fontaine, Michael York, Linda Purl, Paul Shenar, Melissa Sue Anderson, Steve Inwood, Lois Chiles, Nicollette Sheridan, Raymond St. Jacques, Grant Aleksander, Yves André Martin, and Dan O'Herilhy.

Produced by Aaron Spelling and Douglas S. Cramer, Dark Mansions was shot as a pilot for a potential TV series cross between Dynasty and Dark Shadows. The project was not ordered to series, and aired as a television movie. It was directed by Jerry London and written by Anthony Lawrence, Nancy Lawrence and Robert McCullough.

Hired to interview and write a book about Margaret Drake, biographer Shellane Victor comes to the Drake estate, where family members notice her resemblance to their deceased relative, Yvette. The Drakes believe that Yvette, who died after falling off of a cliff, is haunting the mansion.
