but really DS isn't and never was a true "horror". it was first and formost a soap opera with some gothic and horror elements. but it was never, ever truly "scary".
Even DC had said that DS is not horror. He had gone on record several times as saying that it is a blending of romance and the supernatural, but at its core it's the darkly romantic elements of DS that are by far what truly make DS DS and are more important than the supernatural elements. Though as I've said, one certainly suspects he came to that realization after he'd done hoDS. And quite possibly many of the horror magazines that are lamenting the lack of "horror" in the new film were expecting Depp/Burton to hew more closely to hoDS. Though if so, I don't really know why they would think that given that the original series certainly didn't. If anything, it's hoDS that's the biggest aberration in the current DS universe.
