Current Talk '24 I / Re: (**NEW Photos/Michelle Pfeiffer Interview In The April W!!** Reply #3083 ) Depp/Burton DARK SHAD
« on: April 25, 2012, 05:50:14 AM »Seeing the amount of anxiety that exists for some DS fans about this movie, I'm curious how some of the tweaks were perceived among longtime fans when the 1991 series first aired. For example, were there debates about the changes to Maggie's character (the affair with Roger, her being a psychic) at festivals? I realize the internet and message boards didn't exist to whip emotions into a frenzy, but I don't remember this amount of trepidation for anything Dark Shadows in the past.
Oh yes - reaction to the '91 DS was quite similar to what we're seeing today with the Depp DS film. It's just that it was played out in the various fanzines of the time rather than on the Internet. And it was often just as intense.
Nothing that's going on with this film is new for fandom...
