TALE OF THE DISCO-MBOBULATED VAMPIRE

Based on the soap opera from the late 60’s and early 70’s, Dark Shadows is about Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp), a 200-year-old vampire who is imprisoned in a coffin and unearthed in the 70’s.  He makes his way back to his mansion and discovers that it is now inhabited by his descendants and that the Collins name and business is in ruins.  His jealous, ex-girlfriend and witch, Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), runs the rival company that has taken over the town.
