Josette's music box was a small, ornately crafted French music box given to Josette DuPres by her lover, Barnabas Collins. Josette had little time to enjoy it however, as she committed suicide soon after receiving the gift (425). The music box has a strange effect on both Maggie Evans and Victoria Winters, entrancing both women. Just how this happens is unknown, but either Josette's spirit still lingers in the box or Barnabas' own vampiric powers enhance the effect for his 'intended' (Barnabas tries to transform first Maggie, then Victoria, into Josette and make her his bride).
