Thanks, I will do that. -------------- Original message -------------- From: Bosco Bosco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dark Shadows was just so unlike anything else happening at the time. It was equal parts cheesy, and compelling. Sure it's a soap opera but it's a very adventurous Vampire/Gothic Soap Opera. Monsters, time travel, parallel universes, it's got it all. It's a campy classic and I would simply suggest that you revisit it with fresh adult eyes and discover it's unusual charms

I was probably around eight or nine when I tried to watch it, and found it to be drab and a bit morose and depressing in its atmosphere. I abandoned it in favour of more excting fare: Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Godzilla and King Kong movies, etc. ------------ -- Original message ------------ -- From: "Martin Baxter" <truthseeker013@ lycos.com> Keith, yes, yes and yes. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [scifinoir2] Depp, Burton in Dark Shadows Date : Sat, 06 Dec 2008 15:47:45 +0000 >From : KeithBJohnson@ comcast.net To : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com i guess Depp would play Barnabas Collins?

Zanuck has told collider.com that Johnny Depp and Tim Burton's movie update of the cult gothic U.S. soap opera Dark Shadows (first announced last year) will be their next collaboration. He said the pair will get cracking on the project next summer in London, after they've finished working on Alice in Wonderland. The original Dark Shadows ran in the late '60s and revolved around a governess who arrived to work at a big mansion, only to find it inhabited by vampires, witches, monsters and all manner of other supernatural goings-on. Johnny Depp was apparently obsessed with the show from a young age and has always been keen to play vampire Barnabus Collins. http://movies. ign.com/articles /935/935596p1. html http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=JQdwk8Yntds
