Phew! Barnabas Collins looks like a Vampire!

A heavy sigh of relief was exhaled by the collective fandom of the classic TV series Dark Shadows today.  Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are collaborating on a movie version of this daytime gem and recently photos were leaked of Depp on set.  To put it bluntly he looked like Michael Jackson.  Love him or hate him,  Barnabas Collins (played by Depp) is not supposed to be channeling Michael Jackson.

Below is the group shot released by Entertainment Weekly.

We fans of Dark Shadows can breath a sigh of relief.  Or if you are a Vampire no breathing is required (or possible) just be happy!
