Director Tim Burton reteams for the eighth time with Johnny Depp in the reimagining of "Dark Shadows," a television show cult favorite from 1966 - '71. Depp plays Barnabas Collins, a vampire who likes to vamp, as in make quips. The story begins In 1752 when Barnabas Collins was turned into a vampire by a curse from Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), the chambermaid whose love he spurned. Two centuries later, it's 1972 and Barnabas is unearthed and returns to Collinwood Manor, Collinsport, Me., where his dysfunctional descendants are trying to maintain the ancestral home.
