Assuming the film does contain mostly comedic elements like those we have seen in the trailer, I have a question about sequels. Does anyone agree with me that the elements of the story we have seen, make the possibility of sequels less likely? Perhaps I am wrong, but with all that comedy, AND the speculation that [spoiler]the family is aware that Barnabas is a vampire,[/spoiler] AND that he becomes their protector, makes possible storylines for sequels seem fairly trivial. For example, how could the family ever be terrorized by a ghost (ala Quentin or Gerard), when they have a vampire living with them? Or, how could a werewolf storyline be taken seriously in a future film, when it is surrounded by all that comedy (as established in the original)?
Of course I am not as creative as a screen-writer, but it does seem to me they have written sort of a dead-end storyline here. And, I do realize I haven't seen the film yet, so I may be speaking a bit prematurly. Does anyone else have thoughts about this?
