61Barnabas Collins - Dark Shadows
I grew up watching Barnabas Collins on Dark Shadows television show. This daytime television series was creepy yet addictive. If you've never seen Dark Shadows before it was sort of like a freaky soap opera that was on everyday during the week. The mysterious Barnabas was a 175 year old vampire. Barnabas was a vampire with a soul.
Although Dark Shadows premiered in 1966, Barnabas Collins did not enter the show until after it's first year. It seems this show was very close to being shut down. But with the Popularity of this Vampire Sex Symbol, Barnabas the show ended up going on until 1971.
Now it seems this generation has the same fascination with vampires. Let's see, it started with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and now we have Twilight and True Blood plus many more. My Son is really looking forward to Cirque Du Freak hitting theaters in October.
But this got me to thinking that I really need to get the original series for my kids to watch. I mean the original is such a classic I feel like I want to share it with them. I know, it is a little cheesy and low budget, but it is way addictive. Lucky for me, the entire Barnabas series, Dark Shadows is available on DVD.
Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins?
We love the Vampire TV shows as well as the movies in our house. So Can you imagine my surprise and excitement when I discovered that Johnny Depp is actually considering playing Barnabas Collins in a remake of Dark Shadows. I don't know about you, but I think Johnny Depp would would be perfect in the roll. He always plays those creepy dark rolls so well.
