Cool people that like Dark Shadows

According to his good friend Joan Bennett, Fritz never missed a single episode and thought it was fascinating. Dude who made Metroplois thought DS was awesome. Deal with it.

Appeared on the cover of Film Review in 2004 with his Barnabas cane. QT also had it with him during his now legendary drunken appearance on Jay Leno, during which he mentioned his love for the series.

Chastain watched the series in its entirety (which is quite a feat) and loved it. She was devastated when her own DS pilot wasn't picked up.

Refused to attend his first day of Kindergarden until his mother combed his hair like Barnabas Collins.

Depp has been talking about idolizing Barnabas as a kid for years. Judging by his recent movie version, he has probably not watched a single episode since he was a wee lad.

Called Tim Burton and begged for a role in his crappy "re-imagining" movie version. Became re-addicted to the series while watching it in her trailer during the shoot.

She also seemed to be the only actor in the movie playing their role with any kind of earnestness or respect to the past portrayl, despite some of the dumb things she required to perform like wielding a shotgun.

I don't really know who this guy is, but he wrote some Superman and Predator comics so he must be kinda cool. Anyway he's the writer behind the 2004 pilot and called Barnabas "One of the great inventions of gothic horror."

Verheiden was also involved with the creation of Hemlock Grove, which is clearly influenced by Dark Shadows.

Wikipedia says she likes DS.
