Yes. I grew up with two obsessions, Doctor Who and Dark Shadows. Doctor Who being the most brilliant tv program ever written and to come out of the UK and Dark Shadows being the most brilliant tv program to come out of the US. For those in the UK not familiar with Dark Shadows it was a gothic soap opera that ran in the US for about 5 years, from 1966 to 1971. The reason it didn't run longer was that it was, like Doctor Who, a very expensive show with period costumes and special effects. It was a story about this family, the Collins family of Collinsport, Maine. The lead character was Barnabas Collins, who was a guilt-ridden vampire. Apparently I was not the only child who ran home from school and to throw down her school books and sit glued to the tv to find out what happened to Angelique the Witch, Barnabas the vampire and Quentin Collins the Werewolf. A young Johnny Depp did the same thing.
Next summer, 2009, Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are setting about to bring a childhood dream come true for Mr. Depp and for the millions of American children who sat glued to their tv sets watching Dark Shadows. Mr. Depp is going to remake Dark Shadows. I would assume he plans to play Barnabas Collins. Right now I feel like I did when they announced that Doctor Who would return the small screen in 2005. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! The child in me is sooooo excited again.

There was a short-lived remake of the Dark Shadows television series several years ago (1991 or so). I rather liked it.
