Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJohnny Depp was a huge fan of Dark Shadows (1966) when he was a child. When Warner Brothers acquired the rights to it from the estate of show creator Dan Curtis, they brought the property to Depp, who then persuaded Tim Burton that this would be an ideal project for them.
- GoofsWhen the police and townspeople rush to the Collins mansion, the crowd arrives seconds behind the police cars, even though they were all on foot.
- Quotes
Angelique Bouchard: I'm going to make an offer to you, Barnabas. My last. You can join me by my side and we can run Collinsport together as partners, and lovers... or I'll put you back in the box.
Barnabas Collins: I have already prepared my counter-proposal. It reads thusly: You may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits feature Victoria Winters en route to Collinwood, repeating her name to herself ("My name is Victoria Winters..."), while the prologue featured a shot of waves breaking onto a cliffshore. This is a reverse of the Dark Shadows (1966) opening, where the prologue featured Victoria Winters traveling and the title sequence was of the waves breaking upon seashore scree.
