Even if it turns out to be completely different from the photo - and based on what SGS has said, I wouldn't be surprised - it still was a scene I wanted to see in the film, not beforehand.
Well, I can relate because that's exactly how I felt about all the photos that ruined major hoDS plot points way beforehand.
As an aside, I'm going to say that I love the new image they printed of Vicki meeting Barnabas. It is so beautiful, and very reminiscent of my favorite scene from House of Dark Shadows, with Julia watching in the background.
OK - now you're killing me because I haven't even touched my copy of Fangoria since I read your warning last night, so I have no idea what you're talking about with regard to that photo - and your description has me dying to see it!
