As I'd mentioned, Barnabas was originally intended to be pure evil, not the poignant character he became. Dan Curtis chose to portray Barnabas as originally intended in the movie "House of Dark Shadows" -- lord, he was nasty in that.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230915556455020371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-26773963166392156132012-04-19T15:10:43.297-07:002012-04-19T15:10:43.297-07:00Kevin put that well, as you did, Erica-- one of th...Kevin put that well, as you did, Erica-- one of the reasons Johnathan's death hits us like this is that he was, in fact, part of our family, with so many life memories connected.<br /><br />I'm glad you actually got to see him at the convention.<br /><br />I didn't know Ms Scott was following our Ms Scott, and what a kind and gracious gesture you both made to each other.<br /><br />As you said, you and I will lovingly agree to disagree about Burton's movie-- unless I'm disappointed in it! -- but I do note that, even in his forties, Depp makes a rather baby-faced Barnabas, compared to Mr. Frid, and in most photos I've seen the make up is just a tad too Trick-or-Treat. ("Just a TAD??!" she hollers.) <br /><br />Thank you for the link to Barnabas's arrival, I always enjoy seeing that. <br /><br />Here's a Geek Note: The original Barnabas plot was obviously inspired by "Dracula," but the vampire finding his lost, reincarnated love was not from Bram Stoker nor the Bela Lugosi movie. It was used in the Karloff movie "The Mummy." But everyone liked Dan Curtis's blend so much that every "Dracula" movie made after "Dark Shadows" had the vampire trying to regain his lost love, including F.F. Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula!" <br /><br />I also love Mr. Frid's timing-- Friday the 13h, just before the movie's release date.Dave Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11417833347179495042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-82241912417350591052012-04-19T15:10:25.505-07:002012-04-19T15:10:25.505-07:00Craig -- thanks.

DS became a regular part of my schedule any time I needed to escape the reality of Iraq I would watch a few episodes. It seemed as though Mr. Frid was always there for me, giving me an hour where I did not have to worry about the real world or the war. There was something strangely reassuring about Mr. Frid's portrayal of Barnabas Collins, in the midst of chaos I could always count on Barnabas Collins to be consistent.<br /><br />KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
