From June 27, 1966 to April 2, 1971…a
gothic soap opera series called Dark Shadows aired. Directors Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino, and pop singer Madonna have publicly
stated they are fans of the series. As a child, Johnny Depp admitted that he was so obsessed
with Barnabas Collins that he wanted to be him. Well now Depp has his opportunity---he and Tim
Burton has collaborated together on a theatrical film
adaptation which is scheduled to open in sometime this year.
The 2012 film also stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Boham
Carter, with a cameo appearance by Alice Cooper portraying himself.
Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and in turn affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating or indoctrinating citizens.
