did you say Dark Shadows or Dork Shadows?

When I heard Timothy Burton was making a Dark Shadows movie I was like, "OH, WHATEVER!" but this picture is making me a little excited! I'm so glad they kept the classic Jonathan Frid bangs on Barnabas Collins.

The cast looks pretty great, although I'm not sure how I feel about this Helena Bonham Carter concept of Dr. Julia Hoffman as a scientific Vivienne Westwood. I'm also a little disappointed they're going with the 90s Dark Shadows concept of creepy Willie Loomis. I prefer my Loomis on the boyishly handsome side a la John Karlen.

I just hope the credits include a reference to Ohrbach's Fashions. That's the real soul of DARK SHADOWS, in my opinion.
