This recently posted Dark Shadows photo of Johnny Depp-as-Barnabas Collins argues with the jaunty, tongue-in-cheek tone in the recent trailer. To re-quote that guy who’s seen most of Tim Burton‘s film, “[It’s] funny, but also has full-bodied horror elements. Barnabas does kill people in this [and] there’s more of the Burton Sweeney Todd than the trailer implies. This is not Burton’s Addams Family, but a successful amalgamation of his comedic and gothic horror styles.”
