Thanks for posting this, Luciaphil! I have several DS-related articles from the New York Times, but I foolishly didn't keep the dates for some of them. Maybe now I can find those dates.
Anyone who has the time and/or the inclination might want to check out the Times' reviews of the DS movies. If you're like me and you often enjoy a few laughs from less than favorable reviews (even if it's a movie you've personally liked) then reading them could be well worth the few dollars you might have to pay.
(And, yes, just in case you wonder, the review of hoDS is indeed worse than that of NoDS (and rightly so, IMO). In fact, they even manage to diss hoDS all over again before saying a word about NoDS in its review. )
Here's just the first sentence from the first paragraph of the hoDS review (which is available for free on the site, so I'm not stealing their thunder):
"The vampire movie is such an agreeable type, with so many good and even great examples remember 'Vampyr' and 'Nosferatu' that it would seem to have taken an act of unusual perversity to have made anything as dreadful as 'House of Dark Shadows,' which opened yesterday at neighborhood theaters."
I LOVE it!!
