From 1966 to 1971, the US daytime drama Dark Shadows thrilled viewers with its unique blend of gothic romance and supernatural horror, and became a huge phenomenon with the introduction of vulnerable vampire Barnabas Collins, a role made famous by the Canadian actor Jonathan Frid, who sadly died earlier this month.
With Johnny Depp pulling on Barnabas’ cape in Tim Burton’s comic re-imagining in May, a three-disc collection featuring the iconic vampire is being released on Monday 30 April.

i would love to be a vampire i love angel from buffy i i would def give him pure happiness and failing that spike too was getting rather hot
Got to be a ghost i wouldn’t be a nasty one just one that keeps moving your things around when you need them, then put them back in a month or two, i’m sure we have one in our house!
i would be a vampire
WEREWOLF – REMEMBER DON’T CROSS THE MOORS STAY ON THE ROAD
I would be a vampire. Just imagine living forever and sucking on people’s necks to eat yum yum.
I would like to be a werewolf, super human speed and strength and all of my hair back!!
A werewolf – then I wouldn’t need to shave.
Id be a ghost because nobody could see me and i can spook everyone lol
I would be a werewolf – I could be normal most of the time, but go wild occasionally (and have lovely sillky hair – all over) Hooooooooow cool would that be?
I would have to be a vampire because you have the ability to turn someone else into a vampire or kill them by sucking all their blood,you get all the girls,sleeping in a coffin sounds pretty cool,you’re immortal as long as you avoid all those wooden stakes through the heart,etc.Plus you get dress in black all the time which is never a bad thing.
A Vampire. Not the sparkly Twilight kind tho, more like Pam from True Blood. That’d mix things up!
A ghost so I could listen without people knowing I was there & see the true person they are. If they needed help & was just putting on an act to others, I could try and help them in a ghostly kind of way.
I would like to be a Ghost and Spy on all the Hotties Bums an all and play Naughtie Mischiefious pranks on them
I would like to be vampire,because you can mess with everybody and only comes out at night. I am a night person anyway.
I would be a ghost as every mansion needs a ghost!! All those floorboard to creep up and down!
I would want to be a werewolf because you can be yourself for almost a whole month and then be someone else during the full moon. The only bad things about being a werewolf would be destroying your clothes once a month and of course the fleas. If you fed up real good before the change of the moon you wouldn’t have to bite anyone unless you really wanted to.
I would want to be a werewolf!
