No , they all mentioned it and talked about the fact that they know there is a separation of fans who like and dislike the movie. The area where the chair and big poster board was in a corner. It may look ominous but wasn't and many enjoyed getting their photo. Everyone agreed that the movie does not take the place of the original . Once all the fans were in the same room, seeing the people they have grown to love over the years and listening to what the cast was up to, I think we all just had a good time. I think it was KLS that said Johnny Depp was very gracious to them and made sure he said in front of the movie crew and other stars that if it wasn't for Jonathan Frid they wouldn't be there. One of the ladies mentioned liking the 1970's clothing in the movie. While it was a smaller crowd and venue it still had some of the aspects of the bigger fest as people came up to a microphone to ask questions, there was merchandise to buy, plenty of time to get autographs, see the house and chat with friends. So nothing really strange or unusual. The new movie is such a small part of Dark Shadows regardless if you love it or hate it so I didn't think it would take up too much discussion time. I did meet many first timers who said they got into the original series once the marketing came out for the new movie. That is awesome!
As far as Jim Pierson, I did notice that he wasn't running around as much and I actually saw him sit down and eat something. He was sitting at the registration table at one point just chatting with people and complimented my friend on her outfit.
