PREPARE FOR SCARES—<br />
DARK SHADOWS RETURNS<br />
by Amy Nicholson<br />
Vampires. Werewolves. Witches. Zombies.<br />
Grave robbers. Ghosts. The spooky<br />
soap opera Dark Shadows crammed<br />
everything into its five-year run, and now<br />
this whimsically macabre reboot must do in two<br />
hours what the original did in 1,225 episodes. But if<br />
any director is up for the challenge, it’s Tim Burton.<br />
A fan of the series since he was 8 years old, it’s<br />
been his passion to bring Dark Shadows to the big<br />
screen. The result is the weirdest, wildest flick of the<br />
summer. In the words of ingenue Victoria Winters,<br />
prepare to meet these unusual people “who tonight<br />
are still only shadows in my mind, but who will soon<br />
fill the days and nights of my tomorrows.”<br />
