Tim Burton’s Greatest Mistake?
Dark Shadows was a supernatural soap opera. Burton’s remake is a campy comedy. Why, Burton? WHY?!
Johnny is trying to figure out how to get his soul back from Burton.
I was excited when I heard Dark Shadows was going to get a movie adaptation. First of all, it was being directed by Tim Burton. Second of all, it starred Johnny Depp, though that’s kind of a given at this point. Burton and Depp did a great job adapting Sleepy Hollow, one of the great horror comedies of all time as far as I’m concerned. Burton has a good track record (even considering Alice in Wonderland) and he has a style that would lend itself to the campy soap opera.
And then I saw the trailer. If you missed it in the last article, here it is. Keep a tissue handy. You may cry like I did.
