Hello group,
Well, now that the new movie has come and gone, I still do not
forget the original series.
It's like the new movie was just a dream.

Around here the new movie is not gone, many
theaters are still showing it.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=darkshadows.htm

The film is in 3404 theaters, and it has now broken even.

They are still showing it in Muncie, Indiana, and I plan on finally
breaking down and see it today.

If I hate it, you will be sure to hear my reaction here. Or even if I
like it.

Either way, it will not diminish or change my love for the original series.

After 3 weeks in theatres, it's still in the top 5. That's pretty good
considering some of the huge stuff it's up against. In fact, i'm still
seeing tv spots for it.. something which usually stops after opening
weekend.

I just saw the movie yesterday. The total audience including me was 10
people. I have no idea whether this is good or bad (especially for a
weekday).

The trailer definitely lied. And there were also several things in the
movie that people unfamiliar with the original wouldn't get or would be
confused by (including Victoria's final remark about Josette).

The much-derided Barnabas makeup wasn't so bad because half the cast was
heavily made up anyway. And I wonder if it was supposed to exist in the
context of the movie or just be a visual cue, since nobody noticed it.

Yes, it was definitely a good mix of comedy and drama/horror, far more
than the trailers showed. The dramatic scenes were extremely heartfelt
and believable. There was one scene in particular, which I will mention
below with spoiler space for those who haven't seen it yet, that really
segued beautifully, and quite shockingly, from lighthearted to horrific.

It seemed quite appropriate to me - pale and typical Burtonesque goth,
but not clownish. It only seemed somewhat excessive in the scene during
the day outside the cannery with the rest of the family, which could be
reasonably explained as zinc oxide, especially since he was also wearing
a hat and sunglasses for protection.

The scene was when Barnabas was sitting around the campfire with the
hippies who had given Vicki a ride to Collinwood earlier. It started
off as a comedic scene, as they all talked about peace and love and
passed around a joint (which thankfully Barnabas refused) while Barnabas
talked with them and tried to fit in. And then, his mood darkened and he
politely thanked them for their company, saying it was a shame that he
was now going to have to kill them. He glared at the one girl who, in
her stoned stupor, figured he was joking, until she saw just how serious
he was, then it cut to a distant shot of the campfire and the sounds of
their screaming. An absolutely brilliantly-done scene.

Umm...because he's a vampire and needs to drink blood? In the movie, he
can take on huge amounts of blood. Perhaps, too (despite Magenta's
admiration for his passing on the joint), he was after a nice buzz.

Hi everyone,

Diva makes a good point, that was a good scene. It shocks because,
like the hippies, you think he's joking, and from everything we've
seen so far, he is "of" the wry humor.

I would like to mention two scenes that had immense impact on me,
though they were, to me, extremely sad.

The scene near the end where Roger does leave, and little David is so
very sad, stunned me with the overwhelming feeling of his abandonment.

The scenes where "Maggie" is taken to, and shown in Windclift also
struck me as quite sad.

Bear in mind some vampire stories like Forver Knight allow their
vampires to be sasified with blood in the refrig, some vampire
stories require the vampire to go further.

In the original show, Barnabas would feed off of the "Ladies of the
Night" strolling the docks. How is this much different?
The hippies being a more modern day equivalent. If he'd killed hookers
in the film i don't think that would go over as well.

I agree that it was the bloodlust that came over him. He seemed
genuinely friendly with the hippies, and enjoyed their company. I think
it just happened suddenly and not having been out of the coffin for
long, he didn't have the self-control to resist. I definitely didn't
feel like he was playing them - he could have easily surprised and
overpowered them instead.

Also, he may have figured that a group of hippie drifter-types wouldn't
be missed as quickly as more estabished residents of town if they
disappeared.

This scene does make B look very unsympathethic, but lets face it,
Frid, too was often quite cruel at times. It is the nature of the
beast, as one would say. Vampires 'can' fit into society, but they are
never really part of it.

As to the hippies, in real life, hippies were quite the rage in the
late '60s and early '70s. The newer set of DS novels, has had scenes
showing hippies encamping in or near the Old House, or otherwise being
parts of the background. Not sure what the metaphor to today would be.
Just something from that time that isn't quite around anymore...

There were a larger serries, 30 to 40, back in the late '60s and early
'70s, check ebay. All written by Marilyn Ross (actually a pen name for

I used to love reading those. Rather different, in some respects, from
the series, at that time, yet, loosely tied in.

I think it was a combo of the make-up and outdoor lighting which was
all sort of less in the actual movie as compared to the still shot
that had us all going "Oh noes!" lol . After post production clean-up,
it was much less pronounced.

Hello group,
Well, now that the new movie has come and gone, I still do not
forget the original series.
It's like the new movie was just a dream.

Around here the new movie is not gone, many
theaters are still showing it.
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=darkshadows.htm
The film is in 3404 theaters, and it has now broken even.

Yes, it is probably going to make a profit. It is a welcome change

Just saw it a third time yesterday - still here in our small town
six-plex, so that's a good sign, considering all the big summer movies
vying for screen space.

Loving it more and more every time, with so much to see there's always
something new to catch. I loved that Carolyn was on the couch reading a
teen fan magazine with a picture of Bobby Sherman on the back cover!
When I was a tween, my bedroom wall was covered with pictures of
Barnabas, David Cassidy and Bobby Sherman <g>

Hi Diva,
YES! In addition to the hippie scenes,, they really captured the
era with that scene with Carolyn. Anyone else remember Bobby? In a
way Bobby, Donny, etc. were the Justin Biebers of that day.
Ironically, (and perhaps intended that way, by Burton) that magazine
or similar (Tiger Beat!) had articles of the actors from DS, notably
Frid, but also David Hennesy, being a teen himself at that time, also
got some teen fan attention.

I thought going with Bobby Sherman was a cool choice, rather than a more
obvious pick like David Cassidy (even though I totally adored David!).
I remember seeing the DS stars in the fan mags too, like 16, Tiger Beat,
etc. In fact, I think I may still have some of the clippings. They
used to have giveaways where fans would write in asking for some memento
from their favorite star, and each month they'd feature a few of them,
with a photo of the star autographing the item or holding it up, and a
little blurb about the fan and what special treasures they were getting
I remember Jonathan Frid and David Henessey for sure, and I'm certain
there were others too.

As for the Dan/Marilyn Ross books, I have all of them, including the 4
special editions (Barnabas Collins In A Funny Vein, Barnabas and
Quentin's Book of Vampires and Werewolves, Barnabas Collins' Personal
Picture Album, and the HODS novelization). I got them one at a time
over many years from used book stores, etc. and finally, at my first DS
fest, I was only missing 6 of them, so I went ahead and purchased the
few I didn't have in the dealers' room, to complete my collection.

love to us through His Son, because He knows that our arms are not long
enough..."
