Dark Shadows

Poor Barnabas Collins never stood a chance. Tim Burton’s ‘Dark Shadows‘ found itself clobbered to death over the weekend courtesy of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, who rode a perfect cocktail of hype and stellar word-of-mouth to an unprecedented second weekend.

Jonathan Frid...the man who originated the vampire role Johnny Depp is playing in the 'Dark Shadows' movie...died last Friday of natural causes. He was 87.

'Dark Shadows', the latest collaboration between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, hits theaters on May 11th. And it looks pretty good UNLESS you're a fan of the original gothic soap opera it's based on.
