Now this is DS not that fucking POS remake about a retarded emo man whore.

Try this: google Retro-Cafe, They seem to have a lot of stuff, including Dark Shadows!

I respect KLS totally not only as an actress but for her publishing and promotional work over decades keeping DS in the public view and attention. I respectfully disagree with her

Let's take one item at a time if you want: first of all, the movie destroys a major concept of the series-the struggle for Barnabas Collins to keep his terrible secret a secret; like Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, a woman of dignity and honor, would allow a vampire to remain at large because of what is basically a bribe

The film wasn't a comedy.

Tim Burton didn't get the idea from a spoof book. The trailer doesn't do the film justice.

[ladysman21751]

The film was true to the series. Don't judge the film by the trailer ever again. Kathryn Leigh Scott enjoyed Burton's version and she said fans would like the film.

[ladysman21751]

The Tim Burton version was respectful to the soap opera. It wasn't silly and they didn't turn Dark Shadows into a comedy.

[ladysman21751]

The film is a fantastic retelling of the soap opera. Tim Burton didn't rape peoples childhoods and didn't destroy the soap opera. His version is respectful to the soap opera and it wasn't a cheesy comedy about a vampire adjusting to the 70's. The film has a dark, atmospheric edge throughout the whole thing. Never judge a film by the trailer again.

[ladysman21751]

The film is not about a retarded emo man whore, it is respectful to the soap opera, don't judge the film by the trailer. The film took itself seriously.

[ladysman21751]

The film wasn't dopey, it was serious, it took itself seriously and wasn't a comedy. It had the same gothic vibe the soap opera had.

[ladysman21751]

Jonathan Frid would've liked the film if he was still alive. Kathryn Leigh Scott enjoyed the film and the film wasn't a stupid cheesy comedy. The film is very respectful to the soap opera. The film wasn't a mockary of the soap opera, it was a fantastic retelling, it's not silly.

[ladysman21751]

The film is not a comedy. Don't judge it by the freaking trailer. The film is a fantastic retelling of the soap opera, it has a dark atmospheric edge to it and it has full-bodied horror elements. Kathryn Leigh Scott enjoyed the film & Jonathan Frid would've liked it if he was still alive.
