Love this ! It shows the many aspects of the actors and their characters with such expression. I cant wait til Johnny Depp makes his version of Dark Shadows in his new movie. I hope he does a good job of it!
Does the band have to pay royalties to Nirvana?
I found the Easter Egg. ^^ Nice video.
I loved it. Thanks for the upload.
Hi..

I want to know the name of the song please! Thanks!!
burton is a genious and depp as barnabas will be awesome!
This was great. i watch Dark Shadows from the very beginning until the end. i’ve acquired each & every episode along the movies on dvd. i will treasure them for a lifetime.
wow really great!!!
This is GREAT. I like how it shows the texture and feel of the show. Jonathon is a legend ! The rest of the cast is also excellent. Dan Curtis was way ahead of his time. GREAT, GREAT SHOW.
Baron does a FIRST CLASS performance putting this together. RIP all the great performers from Dark Shadows that are no longer with us but live on forever thanks to M.P.I. DVDs of the show.
Great Video ,the thing about Depp being too young to play Barnabas well Depp is about Exactly Frids age when he was cast as the original Barnabas so yes He would do justice to the Immortal Barnabas Collins
Frid began the role at the age of 42 years in April, 1967. There are times, such as in 1795, and in the later PT episodes when Frid appeared younger: less makeup, eyeliner, and feathered bangs. When in full vampire mode, the makeup tended to be layered on, giving him the careworn, aged appearance you’d expect from the living dead. He also looks younger in many candid shots. His appearance on “What’s My Line” is evidence of this, although he was dressed as Barnabas.
Hi…glad you liked the video. Yeah I know what you mean…I have no doubts whatsoever about Depp playing this beloved character..I am sure he will do this role the justice it deserves. It is Burton’s direction that worries me….I only hope that he will stay true to the gothic themes that made this show so great…
I love this video and the music. Johnny Depp is such a talented actor, if anyone can do justice to J. Frid’s portrayal of Barnabas, I think Depp can provided that Depp retains the aspects of the character that so many of us love, such as the goodness still in Barnabas’ soul (that is, not a portrayal of just another evil vampire). What worries me most is Tim Burton’s influence, I can’t say I’ve liked any of his movies.
I’m sure Depp will look the part once they do the make up and wardrobe…he is a very good actor and can adapt to fit any part he plays. Plus it helps that he was a huge Frid fan when he was growing up…so I am sure he has the image and essense of Barnabas down pat…
Yes, but Johnny Depp looks much younger than forty-six. And no offense meant to Jonathan Frid (whose work I adore), but he did look older than forty-four. By today’s standards, he looks like he’s in his fifties.
you met him u r soooo lucky
Actually, Depp is two years older than the age that Frid was when he started playing the role of Barnabas : Frid was 44 yrs old and Depp is 46…
There were so many great actors on that show. I think Johathan Frid was a good age to play Barabas. I think Johnny Depp as good as he is, is just too young to play Barnabus. Barnabas needs gravitus. I love to see videos of Johnathan Frid out of character, he is not like Barnabas at all, he is funny and cudley-I think they call it acting and Johathan Frid is soooo good!
I saw him in Sweeny Todd too, I counted the days from the trailer to opening day. The whole production was eye candy. I just LOVE DS and hope to see it done well. I am currently watching it for the 3rd time through from the beginning – I’m in the 1795 storyline right now. It was my all time favorite show, and affected all of my movie and reading choices over the years. My absolute favorite~~
Did you know that Depp grew up idolizing Jonathan Frid? As a kid he used to swipe his mom’s onyx ring and wear it to school. He IS taking this role very seriously. He has bought the rights to Dark Shadows & has gotten friend Tim Burton on board for the project. With out Depp this movie would not be in the works at all.. He’s said in interviews that it’s his way of paying back his childhood hero by bringing this tragic vampire character to a whole new generation. He can play dark..watch S Todd.
You know I love Johnny Depp and everything, but isn’t there anybody else out there who could play a dark role? How about Jude Law? or Tim Roth? or Daniel Craig? They are all very strong actors that could carry it off with enough of a polished civilized sophisticated appeal to be accepted in a character that MANY people love. I don’t think Depp has that! I would love to see a remake but only if they take it seriously.
u r so right
just got my copy and watching for the millionth time cant get enough of barnabus it seems what was it about him that attracted so many people to him do you think i just loved him i cant bear the end of the movie where he gets killed so i dont watch that part of it i sure wish for once he’d get what he wanted i know it was just a serial but sure loved him my mom too loved him after a very short time that was the only reason i watched that show
