@robfwtx There was so much to work with for a truly AMAZING Dark Shadows movie/series.

Avoid the "camp" and just make a suspense thriller. Don't even start with Barnabas. Start more how the show did with a murder mystery and end THAT movie with Barnabas... Build up a desire for a second movie and go from there.

None of this goofy Tim Burton nonsense. That wasn't what the show was at ALL. The only real "camp" was due to low budget and live recordings. The story was intense...
