OH @#$% THE WHITE WALKERS ARE REAL Oh Wait That’s Just Johnny Depp in the Dark Shadows Movie
 |
?Set pics from Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows movie starring Johnny Depp as vampire Barnabas Collins have leaked out, as you can see. I’ve never watched a moment of the original Dark Shadows soap, but I have seen pictures of Barnabas, like on VHS covers, so I feel pretty confident in thinking Burton and Depp’s version is slightly… off. Call me crazy, but I feel strongly that whenever I look at a picture of a vampire, I should not, at any point, wonder “Wait, is that just a mime?” For fuck’s sake, Edward is less garish in the Twilight movies, and he fucking sparkles.
