Jonathan Frid, a Canadian actor best known for playing Barnabas Collins in the 1960s original vampire soap opera "Dark Shadows", has died. He was 87.

...okay now that's just weird timing. Were it not for the fact that the reactions I've seen to the film trailer are almost universally somewhere along the skeptical spectrum from "...um, well, we'll see, maybe it'll be okay" to "OH TIM, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE", I would almost read this as torch-passing.

Given that the trailer looks like they've turned Dark Shadows into Austin Powers with Vampires, I can't really see this as torch-passing. I think the 91 remake was a better candidate for that.
