Well, it isn't nearly as bad as those other pics. I guess he DOES have
Barnabas bangs. Hmm.

I was thinking Michele Pfeifer might be a tad young for Liz- but from
the look of it.. i see i am wrong. I love how she's very drawn and
worn down looking. That's Liz's state of mind at the start of the
series. Who's the older lady in the back on the couch i wonder? Mrs.
Johnson as a senior citizen? Hmm.. curious.

Well, they screwed that up. Willie was never the groundskeeper, nor was he
a drunk. Matthew was the groundkeeper (he's apparantly been dropped for the
movie). Willie was a petty crook who showed up with the blackmailer who
tried to blackmail Liz when she thought she had killed her husband. He
tried to rob Barnabas grave, and got a big surprise. After that, he worked
for Barnabas, but he was never the groundskeeper.

Of course, they've also completely changed Mrs. Johnson, who was the
housekeeper, not a maid, was not much older than Elizabeth, and was neither
mostly blind nor mostly deaf. Hell, she originally took the job to spy on
the family, which would be rather difficult for someone who was mostly blind
and deaf!

I also note that they have Roger managing the family finances, which is also
not true to the original. Elizabeth managed the family finances. Roger
worked at the business, but Elizabeth had control because Roger had
squandered his share of the inheritence.

Julia never was hired by the family to care for David or anyone else. She
came into the original after Barnabas bit the waitress whose name I can't
remember offhand, to care for her after she went a little nuts (gee, I
wonder why). She figured out Barnabas was a vampire, that it was a disease,
and tried to cure him. But yeah, she was interested in him in more than one
way.

Not sure how Angelique fits. It sounds like she's supposed to be actually
present here, as opposed to being a ghost as she was in the present on the
original show.

Still, if they don't get too carried away with the comedy stuff, this might
turn out to be better than I expected after seeing that first horrible
picture that was posted.

If memory serves, she worked with the doctor Baranbus killed and wanted
to do research on him. She told the Collins' she was doing research
on their family history and was allowed to mooch off them while she
did research.

Yeah, that's what I remember too. Dave (the local doctor) brought her in
the treat Maggie Evans after she was bitten by Barnabas. Barnabas killed
him because he figured out what Julia was up to, and what Barnabas was, even
though he was having trouble believing it.

There hs a shot little video clip of Joan Bennet clearing up that
matter once and for all. She says that Yes, Vicki is indeed Liz's
daughter. Not sure where i saw it. Surely it's on You Tube tho.
I have a feeling the movie may explore that a bit. Look at how the
girl playing Vicki has her hands in the same pose as Liz, suggesting
some familial similarity.

I thought the early episodes hinted that Vicki was the illegitimate
daughter of Paul Stoddard and a mistress. Remember when Vicki finds a
20 or so year old portrait of a woman who looks just like her? The
implication was that the woman was Vicki's mother.

It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if
Moltke had stayed with the show.

That's true, but it always seemed odd to me that Liz would have hired her if
she had been Paul's illegitimate daughter. I always wondered if she was
maybe a half-sister or neice. Maybe David's sister, born before Roger got
married or his half-sister, and the mother came to Liz for help, never
telling Roger.

I'm not disputing that Bennet said that. My only point was that, in
the early days of the series, I think the writers were implying that
she was the daughter of another woman (the woman in that portrait).
The producers or writers may have changed their minds as the series
progressed. On the other hand, we don't know if Bennet is stating the
actual intent of the producers, or just her own preference.

I think they may have always intended to go there but didn't get a
chance to before Moltke left the show. I'm pretty sure i read
somewhere that was the way it was meant to be.
But i see your point about that possibly having been JB's thoughts on
the matter. To me it always just semed a given- due to their
resemblance and Liz's fondness for Vicki.

D***@webtv.net

2011-09-28 02:07:14 UTC

My longtime pet theory is that Vicki is the secret child of Liz and
Jason McGuire. When Jason was preparing to leave town (before his exit
was made permanent by Barnabas), he teased Vicki about having some
knowledge about her parentage.

That secret could easily have been one more point of contention between
Liz and Jason over the years, Plus, perhaps Paul found out the truth
and threatened to make sure Liz lost all contact with her other child,
which was an even more compelling reason to supposedly off him...

Moltke left because she was pregnant. She was a tad worried that Dan
Curtis may want to write that into the storyline and she was NOT
comfortable with that. That's in one of the tiny interviews on the end
of one of the dvd volumes i think. She didn't want him to do a
"Rosemary's Baby" type thing if i recall...

The new Entertainment Weekly has a two-page spread on the DS movie.
It's mostly a large version of the photo that was just posted here, with
a fairly brief writeup.

In the article, Burton says he cast the film with a simple "weirdness"
test. "I asked myself the very abstract question "Is this person Dark
Shadows'? In each case, the answer was yes."

It mentions Depp and Burton's mutual love of DS, and how Depp was the
one to pursue Burton this time. Depp's performance is called
'reminiscent" of Frid's, and the screenwriter says "We've made Barnabas
an anachronism."

(Is it wrong to picture Vicki saying "Barnabas is a spider??? I don't
understand...") <G>

Loved seeing the photo in full-size format. Great pic! My one concern
is that Chloe Grace Moretz looks too young as Carolyn. Well, that and
the schoolgirl-ish dresses they have Vicki and Carolyn wearing. HBC
looks freakishly like Grayson Hall - bring out the salt shaker, methinks
she's gonna be doing some serious scenery-chewing in Collinwood! :)

In light of recent experience with the CW/WB/UPN I thank the
powers that be that it wasn't picked up. After watching a number
of shows on WB/CW i've come to the painful conclusion that
the CW/WB/UPN was too small an operation to really run a tv
show properly. It became painfully evident when ASP bailed
on Gilmore Girls.

After ASP left GG I swore off all shows on the CW.
Too many shows like Charmed suffered big time from the
lack of a budget to run a show the right way.

I LOVE how Bonham Carter looks as Hoffman! There is hope....

I hate it! She looks like a clown!

Nah, Her face isn't that white. I think it's the light, they're
trying to make her look crazy.

Bat-crazy?

Absolutly flapping mad!

Bats in the belfry, she has.
