If you could say anything you wanted to Barnabas Collins....

[skooooo]

...What would you say??

I'd say, Barnabas, you scared the crap out of me as a kid and that's why I made you one of my imaginary "friends!"

[mokawanis]

1. He scared the crap out of me too

I used to only watch the show if another family member was at home because that dude really frightened me when I was a kid.

[skooooo]

2. The Dark Shadows movie was on last night...

That's what got me thinking about him. I forgot about how he'd use his cane to clobber and kill inconvenient people.

Barnabas was great!

3. whose blood tasted better, Angelique or Victoria Winters?

:-) I loved that show as a kid...raced right home after school every day to watch it!! I still have some of the paperbacks based on the series - wonder if they're collector items now?

[skooooo]

8. I'm sure those books are worth a little money!

But would you really sell them? I'd keep them.

[MonkeyFunk]

4. He didnt' scare me

I loved that show.

But goddamn, Jeremiah the ghost gave me fucking nightmares for two weeks. Mom wouldn't let me watch it after that ordeal.

[skooooo]

6. I'd love to watch the whole series...

It's available on DVD. Probably would be better to rent it, though because they make every episode available !!

5. Barnabas, what do you think about having Johnny Depp portray you?

(And, as a follow-up, if Depp screws it up, will you use vampire kung-fu to kick his ass?)

[skooooo]

9. They're making a movie?

When's it supposed to be out?

12. Thanks so much for posting!

I'm sure we can all count on JDepp. He has a remarkable way of making everything turn into gold. The magic touch! Plus, since Burton is the director-well-nuff said-they work very well together! It will be quite interesting, I can't wait! ALthough when I first heard about it, I was having trouble picturing Johnny as the not so attractive Barnabus, but Depp's da man! He excels at playing odd characters!

7. I was watching a documentary about vampires last night

And it mentioned Barnabas. It compared him to Louis de Pointe (Interview With The Vampire). Those vampires who struggled and felt guilty about killing people to satisfy their blood thirst

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. Where's Quentin...that is what I want to know.

[mitchum]

13. How do you get your bangs to do that cool sawtooth pattern thing?

I tried for hours as a kid

[skooooo]

15. Wasn't that the coolest hair?

Between Barnabas and Spock, the black bangs were going on in the late 60s.

14. i remember watching the first episode

that was really a strange soap....
