While I was looking to see if I could locate the Blu-ray trailer on YouTube, I was actually surprised to come across all sorts of videos dedicated to the Barnabas/Angelique relationship in the film. Not that I didn't think the film would generate a fandom all its own - we all pretty much predicted that - but, I don't know, I guess it was just the sheer amount of different videos dedicated to Barn/Angie that I found surprising because without even specifically looking for something like that, more than a dozen came up. And when I checked out a few, another thing that surprised me is that several included pirated scenes from the film that were no doubt shot with cell phones. Though maybe that shouldn't have surprised me, afterall. But anyway, here are links to some of the more interesting ones:
If ever there was a song that was perfect for the Barn/Angie relationship, it has to be Lady Gaga's Bad Romance:
Angelique and Barnabas- Bad Romance (Dark Shadows)Though her song Teeth works really well as well (plus this one has tons of pirated footage (not that I advocate that - but it's still nice to see clips that we won't be able to see legally until after October 2nd)):
Dark Shadows - Dark Teeth (Feat. Lady Gaga)And this one has some pirated footage not seen in the others (plus it uses an Alice Cooper song):
Barnabas & Angelique - PoisonAnd I particularly like these two because they're well done:
Barnabas And Angelique - my heart is brokenDark Shadows Barnabas & Angelique Every Time We TouchAnd lest anyone think the Barnabas and Josette/Vicki angle has been ignored, I also came across this rather well done video (again with pirated footage) that focuses on that relationship:
Oh I swear to you - Barnabas and Victoria/JosetteSo, considering I came across over a dozen without even actually looking, it's probably anyone's guess just how many fan videos dedicated to the film there really are on YouTube.
But getting back to what I was actually looking for, here's the Blu-ray trailer:
Dark Shadows TrailerConsidering it didn't show up on the official Web site until this week, I was honestly surprised to see that Warner Brothers posted it on YouTube back on July 31st.
And lest anyone get the wrong impression that any of this is what I was referring to the other day when I said I'd learned something thanks in part to the new opening page on the official site, it isn't. That discovery still awaits being posted because I need a DVD that I made for myself back in 2008. But I let someone borrow it back then and they never gave it back, so I need to wait until later today when they plan to finally give it back and I've been able to get at least one screen cap from it. After that I'll be able to post about my discovery.
