I read a review on it from Slate, that the original is really just a "plan" they're following with the characters but Burton's definitely not held true to the original "dramatic" soap operatic quality of the series. He did make it into a campy, comedic film, rather than a serious take on the tragedy that is Barnabus's unrequited love. *shrug* My mom was into the series when she was younger, and though I'm interested in the original, I never got the chance to watch it. Hopefully the Chiller channel will bring it back. They had it for a while. That's where I started watching "American Gothic" reruns...those were mighty delicious and could stand a shaking out and redoing, too. Sadly it looks like Chiller is only going to be showing the one from the 90s. Would be nice if they showed the original, or Syfy would again. I sadly do not have 500 dollars to be buying it right now

In college, I remember people planning their class schedule around Dark Shadows.
It was never my thing.
