Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS Is In Release!!

[Josette]

Freeform is what used to be called ABC Family. 

I'm almost certain that they have commercials.  I've been trying to get a full (non-commercial) version of it again, but any channel that has it seems to be one with commercials.  I don't actually object to having the commercials, as long as I could be sure there would be no cuts, but I always assume there must be.

Thanks, Josette!  I'll have so see if my cable-carrier has it (and if it's free or part of a higher-cost plan).

I won't say in all because who knows about some cable companies, but in most Freeform is part of Basic Cable and should be included without any extra charge.

This is Halloween! 44 frights and delights coming to TV this October - Dark Shadows — 2012 film

[Mysterious Benefactor]

I didn't check my e-mail yesterday so I missed this - but I'm going to share it anyway:

Tune in Tonight for Thursday, Oct. 18, 2018
highlights
Johnny Depp stars in the 2012 adaptation of the campy soap “Dark Shadows” (5:30 p.m., Freeform).

Why they picked that particular showing when there have already been two others on Freeform this year (and there was one this afternoon and there will be one more on the 27th), who knows? But who are we to complain...

On the cover
Halloween is fast approaching, and Freeform's "31 Nights of Halloween" event continues with programming that includes witches, dinosaurs, monsters and other creepy creatures.

I love how they mention DS twice. And it's not because it still has two showings because it only has the one on the 27th left.

The Wizard of Odd: A Spotlight On Tim Burton

Of course it mentions the Depp/DS film...

[Mysterious Benefactor]

A day late - but still worth sharing:

Here are the 5 best movies on TV tonight

"Dark Shadows - SyFy - 8.00pm

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton reteam for the millionth time on this monster comedy about a family of vampires and werewolves and stuff who must adjust to the modern world. An all-star cast help make it a lot better than it could have been, especially the living legend that is Michelle Pfeiffer."

[Mysterious Benefactor]

I'm pretty sure most of us have seen these on set photos - but perhaps not:

Tim Burton working with Helena Bonham Carter on the set of “Dark Shadows.”

Actually though, when it comes to the second one, I don't think I've seen a print wide enough to show Chloe Moretz...

Johnny Depp net worth 2019

Refers to DS twice, including Depp as "the Dark Shadows actor." One might think that would be the Pirates actor, but apparently not...
