"How dare you defile my manor with your noxious...?" "ANGELIQUE:" "Mmm." "It's really you." "How dare you place your wicked lips upon me?" "I remember this place being less depressing."

"I shall have you tried for witchcraft and burnt at the stake." "[ANGELIQUE LAUGHS]" "Poor, sweet Barnabas." "Things have changed while you were taking your little nap." "My Angelbay is Collinsport now." "So you are the one who has sent the Collins family business into the abyss." "They love me here." "I'm the only big fish left in their little pond." "Is that so?" "And do the good people of Collinsport know that their beloved Angie is a whore of Beelzebub?" "Heh." "Do you really think anyone would believe a word you said?"

"I find it very useful, yes." "Yes, I agree." "You see sometimes we make up a fantasy world to help us erase horrible memories from our past." "I find hypnotism cuts through all that." "I employ it for other purposes." "May I hypnotize you, Barnabas?" "Madam I do not believe that remotely possi..." "Good." "Now I'd like you to tell me a few things." "A vampire?" "ELIZABETH:" "Keep your voice down." "What on earth are you talking about?" "Oh, spare me." "I had him under hypnosis for hours." "Barnabas?"

" I was protecting the children." "Oh, by letting a vampire use one of the guest bedrooms?" "He admitted killing those men at the construction site." " He's a murderer." " He's a Collins and a good man and these days, that's a desperately rare combination." "Oh, yes, I almost forgot, the family that can do no wrong." "You know, Julia, I'm surprised at you."

"Then be fascinated, Julia." "And if you have an ounce of love or respect for this family keep your mouth shut." "CAROLYN:" "I don't feel comfortable discussing this with you." "BARNABAS:" "Do not fear, my child." "I simply seek advice on the art of courting a woman of this time." "Land." "And who better to tutor me than a woman of your age?" "What is your age, if I may?"

"Give me one good reason why I should not kill you this instant." "Because I'd kill you if you tried." "Impossible." "That would require mercy." "Instead, you have made me a monster." "We're both monsters, Barnabas." "Just two big fish in an itty-bitty pond." "Now, we can either fight until one of us is dead or we can make little fish together." "I'll be honest." "I was really angry at you for the first century or so." "Sure, it was fun watching your family squirm and burn away like ants under a magnifying glass." "And yes, it was fun being adored as the Collins name crumbled growing wealthy on the backs of their despair." "But lately..." "Lately it's just been lonely." "We're different from these people, Barnabas." "We're better than they are." "That's why I've missed you." "You're the only ant I couldn't burn." "What is it you want, Angelique?" "Your love." "You do still love me, don't you?" "Somewhere deep down in that cold, un-beating heart." "My dear, even Aphrodite herself could not construct a more odious union." "What if I made you?" "With what, a spell?" "A little doll filled with pins?" "That is not love." " With this." " Oh." " The body you once begged me for." " Mmm." "I must admit, they have not aged a day." "I'm willing to start over, Barnabas." "I'm willing to call a truce if you'll just take me." "I am not as I once was." "I could change that." "And if I refuse?" "I'll take everything you love starting with that little creature you've been eyeing so fondly." "The one who looks like Josette." "Well, then I suppose strictly in the name of her honor I must now defile your most intimate and womanly segments." "[ANGELIQUE GROANING]" "[BARNABAS GROANING]" "BARNABAS:" "That was a regrettable turn of events." "You didn't seem to regret it." "Yes." "Seems that even in death, I have a weakness for the living flesh." "Especially yours." "What a cold way to describe something so hot." "Perhaps." "But I cannot succumb to your charms ever again." "Please, forgive me." "If I can't have you, my love I'll destroy you." "[INDISTINCT DIALOGUE ON TV]" "Five more minutes." "This is a very silly play." "A werewolf." "A werewolf?" "Yeah, well, it's the only station we get out here." "How are we doing?" "I do not feel as though I'm becoming more human as yet." "Give it some time." "Time, doctor, I have an unfortunate excess of." "[BREATHING HEAVILY]" "VICTORIA:" "This is my favorite doll, called Lucy." "And my favorite bit about Lucy is her crazy, crazy red hair." "I mean, look at her red hair." "And my second favorite bit about her is her nice, shiny, pink bow and..." "VICTORIA:" "No!" "Please!" "Please, no!" "Please!" "Please, I'm begging you!" "Please, don't!" "It's really true!" "Mommy, Daddy, please!" "Mommy!" "Daddy!" "Mommy!" "Please, Daddy!" "Daddy!" "[GASPS]" "Help me." "Help me." "Help you what?" "ELIZABETH:" "A what?" "BARNABAS:" "A ball." "And a most splendid one." "A ball for who?" "For the entire town, of course." "Don't you know the entire town kind of hates us?" "Balls are demonstrations of power." "Balls are how the ruling class remain the ruling class." "Exactly what I've been saying." "This family could use some balls." "Indeed." "And the Collins family have always held the biggest and the most wonderful balls." "Jesus, can somebody shut the drapes?" "ROGER:" "You know, Barnabas has a point." "It's about time we threw a little dough around." "Hm?" "Show the peasants that we're back in action." "People don't throw balls anymore, stupid." "BARNABAS:" "Do they not?" "They throw happenings." "And how, pray, does one throw a happening?" "Well first things first, you'll need a mirror ball." "Whatever that is, we shall have it." "And booze, lots of booze." "Carolyn." "We shall have spirits enough to fill a schooner's hull." "And Alice Cooper." "[ROGER SCOFFS]" "I seem to recall an Alice Cooper from my youth." "Does she reside in Collinsport?" "Not exactly." "Well, she shall be our guest nonetheless." "How do you do?" " Thank you for having us." " Evening." "Good evening." "Welcome to Collinwood." "I have to hand it to you." "This is a happening." "I guess the only thing missing is Alice Cooper." "Perhaps you should go and acquaint yourself with the evening's entertainment." "[CROWD CHEERING AND BAND PLAYING "NO MORE MR.

"No more Mr. Nice Guy" "No more Mr. Clean" "No more Mr. Nice Guy" "They say he's sick He's obscene" "I got no friends 'cause they read the papers" "BARNABAS:" "Master David." "Where is the female coat attendant?" "My dad's talking to her inside." "BARNABAS:" "Hm." "But he told me to keep everybody out." "I'm sure he did, David." "And you've done a marvelous job." "But now I would like you to go and watch Alice Cooper with the others." "But my dad said..." "Go and watch the Cooper woman." "[COUGHS]" "You were right about this stuff." "Nothing but the best for you, pussycat." "Who was the kid?" "I have no idea." "I never saw him before." "Now..." "Mommy, where's Daddy?" "He's been gone for so long." "Is he ever coming home?" "[BAND PLAYING "BALLAD OF DWIGHT FRY"]" "[SINGING] I was gone for 14 days" "I could've been gone for more" "Whatever are you doing outside, my dear?" "You'll catch your death of cold." "I've caught the only thing that matters, Barnabas." "Your eye." "I have withheld my tender affections fearful that they were unrequited." "I've not spoken of my feelings to another soul." "Right." "You've only spoken of my birthing hips." "Yes, well..." "I don't know why, but for some reason, I feel like I can tell you anything." "It's like I've known you forever." "Yes." "It's almost hypnotic." "Yes." "But, wait, no." "I have used no such trickery to summon your ardor, I assure you." "I don't know what it is." "I just know there's always been something pulling me here." "Pulling me to Collinsport." "To you." "Oh, my dear Victoria." " Hath my scent offended thee?" " No, no." "I'm sorry." "It's just..." "The people I love haven't always loved me back." "VICTORIA:" "My own family sent me away." "Swept me under the rug  because it was easier than having a daughter who was different." "Who was cursed." "Cursed because I saw things other little girls didn't." "They were the loneliest, most painful years a child could know." "Now, hold still, Maggie." "This will only hurt for a minute." "Aah!" "VICTORIA:" "But as hard as they were, I never lost my will." "The need to feel the sun on my face again." "So I set out in search of a new home." "A new life, far away from that pain." "But even in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd feel as happy as I do now." "To betray one's own kin, and because she possesses a gift." "No, Victoria." "It is unforgivable." "And your parents deserve to boil in hell's everlasting sulfur." "See my lonely life unfold" "Since I've gone away" "Uh-oh." "Hey." "Hey, you're not invited." "Um..." "Hey." "Uh..." "But..." "Sleeping don't come very easy" "In a straight, white vest" "Should like to see that little children" "She's only 4 years old" "For most of my life, I've wanted a place where I belonged." "A place where I could feel at home again." "Feel loved again." "And I've found that place here at Collinwood." "And here." "BARNABAS:" "We must intensify our efforts." "I have urgent need to be human again." "I can explain." "My God." "You're not using your blood to make me human." "You're using my blood to make yourself immortal." "Yes, but Barnabas, you have a gift." "It isn't fair to keep it all to yourself." "The Collins family took you in, bestowed their sacred trust upon you." "And you brazenly betray that trust." "I'm sorry." "I just don't want to grow old." "I want to be beautiful again." " I want to live forever, like you." " I'm afraid that is out of the question." "A stout man contains some five quarts of blood which, if you will forgive the boast I can consume in a mere seven and a half seconds." "But you, my dear little wisp I dare say I shall drink you to a withered husk in less than five." "Please don't kill me." "You're a good man." "You're a gentleman." " Please, forgive me." " Madam." "I am neither good nor gentle, and I do not forgive." "Aah!" "BARNABAS:" "I should tell you, Willie if you ever speak a word of this to anyone I shall have to kill you in a most unpleasant manner." "WILLIE:" "Don't worry, Mr. B." "I never liked the bitch anyway." "Come on." "I know you're here." "Hey." "Beautiful workmanship, isn't it?" "Hm." "I was just looking for the, uh..." "This?" "[DOOR OPENS]" "There's nothing worth stealing, I'm afraid." "Sadly, Elizabeth uses it for the badminton equipment." "That's what I was looking for." "[ROGER GRUNTING]" "What are you?" "I am about to do something so repellent that it sickens me to my very core." "I'm going to give you a choice." "What choice?" "Either you remain at Collinwood and devote your every waking moment to becoming an exemplary father the father David so desperately wants and deserves..." "Or?" "Or you leave with sufficient money to live your thieving, selfish life elsewhere." "Where on earth is Dr. Hoffman when we need her?" "Indeed." "[SOBBING]" "[GASPS]" "[BARNABAS SIZZLING]" "[SNIFFING]" "Barnabas, you're on fire." "[SINGING OVER RADIO] I'd like to teach the world to sing" "I demand that you release me from my curse." "You're late." "What is that?" "The only thing you drink these days." "From where does it come?" "No one you know." "I promise." "I knew it wouldn't be long before you barged in begging me to make you mortal again." "Now that Dr. Hoffman isn't around to give you your little transfusions." "Yes." "Yes, it was a shame she was called away on business so suddenly." "Interesting." "I don't know many people who take business meetings on the bottom of the ocean." "She was a liar." "She was stealing my blood." "Aren't we being a smidge hypocritical?" "Lying and stealing blood are things you're rather familiar with." "Yes, I killed Dr. Hoffman and the workmen and those very nice, unshaven young people." "But know this:" "With each life I take a piece of my wretched soul dies." "For I only kill because I'm compelled to." "Compelled by your witchcraft." "By your curse." "Why have you done this to me?" "It's a shame." "You know, if you'd just been smart enough to love me, I would've let her go." "Speak plainly, snake." "I sent your little girlfriend over the cliffs once before." "What makes you think I wouldn't do it again?" "I'm gonna offer you a business proposal, Barnabas." "My final offer." "Either you agree to rule this little pond of mine side by side partners and lovers or I put you back in the box." "I have already prepared my counterproposal." "It reads thusly:" "You may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!" "[SNORING]" "Sleeping flame, I summon thee" "To your form return" "Make the night as bright as day" "And burn, baby, burn" "[WILLIE GRUNTS]" "Wha...?" "I've come to realize shutting you in that box for all eternity might've been a tad harsh." "So here is the deal:" "I'm gonna destroy everything you love and you're gonna take some more time to think about us." "See you in a couple centuries, lover boy." "[MAKES KISSING NOISE]" "Do not dismay, Barnabas." "We shall yet again escape this nightmare." "Perhaps only a few brief decades this time." "[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]" "BARNABAS:" "Oh, hello!" "Hello!" "I hear you!" "Oh, sweet glories be." "Whoever you are, fear not." "I will not harm you." "What year is it?" "How many centuries have I...?" "How long has it been?" "It's been 20 minutes." "Young Master David." "How on earth did you know I was imprisoned?" "My mom told me." "You probably think I'm crazy." "Young man, I think nothing of the sort." "Uncle Barnabas why do you have ladies' underwear on your face?" "Never mind that." "Where is your family?" "Where is Victoria?" "I haven't seen Vicky but everybody else is in the town watching our cannery burn." "We must save them!" "Hurry!" "Master David!" "Perhaps you should unchain me first?" "Hank, we need another brigade out of Portland, quick as you can!" "Get these folks out of here!" "All right, everybody, stand back!" "Please, stand back!" "Oh, boy." "Miss Elizabeth's gonna shit a brick." "Sheriff, we need to talk." "Christ, Angie, I ain't got time for chitchat." "The damned town's burning!" "You don't have time for proof that the Collins family is harboring a murderer?" "BARNABAS [ON RECORDING]:" "Yes, I killed Dr. Hoffman  and the workmen and those very nice, unshaven young people." "Well, I'll be damned." "And to think the whole town's named after them." "I'd be willing to bet that Barnabas has already skipped town." "And I'd be willing to bet that you'll find the corpses of more of his innocent victims in there!" "The Collins family has rebuilt their business with murder!" "Well, I say, not in my town!" "[CROWD SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]" "There's one of them now!" "He's probably the one who started the fire to cover his boss' tracks." " Time to go." "MAN:" "Where you going?" "[WHIMPERING]" "[SCREAMING]" "[CROWD SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]" "Willie." "What on earth's happened?" "Fire." "Murder." "Angry mob." "Run!" "ELIZABETH:" "David, go inside." "[POLICE SIRENS WAILING]" "SHERIFF:" "Liz I'm sorry." "We're gonna have to take you in." "All of you." "Bill the Collins family built this town." "We built it with our boats and our nets." "With our sacrifices and our blood." "And this is how you repay us?" "You've been harboring a murderer." "Arrest them." "I shall go willingly to whatever punishment awaits provided no harm befalls my family." "Hold it right there." "BARNABAS:" "And provided Miss Bouchard goes along with me for she is no less a monster than I." "Perhaps it is best if we are both destroyed." "[ANGELIQUE GRUNTING]" "Mr. Collins, back off!" "I'm warning you!" "[GUNSHOTS]" "[CROWD GASPING]" "Go on, slaughter me." "Show them what you are." "No." "I shall show them what we are." "ANGELIQUE:" "Unh!" "WOMAN:" "What's that man done to Angie?"

"None of this would've happened if you'd just loved me." "I should have destroyed you." "You've brought me nothing but misery." "I gave you my heart!" "You have no heart." "You're the curse!" "Women are undone by loving you." "Josette, Dr. Hoffman." "And your beloved Vicky." "I command you to release her from your curse." ""Command"?" "You make me sick." "Missed me." "Vulgar, hideous serpent, I shall deliver you to hell's doorstep." "[GROWLING]" "[ROARS]" "Get out of my room!" "Angelique!" "Get out of my house." "Your house?" "[WOMAN LAUGHING]" "[ALL LAUGHING]" "[CRACKLING]" "[HISSING]" "Enough trickery." "I worshipped you." "Plagued me." "Adored you!" "BARNABAS:" "Despised you!" "Fine." "If Collins blood built this house then let us bathe in it." "[CRACKLING]" "[STATUE LAUGHING]" "[STATUE LAUGHING]" "[CAROLYN SNARLING]" "Leave us alone." "Carolyn?" "Carolyn, my God." "I'm a werewolf, okay?" "Let's not make a big deal out of it." "Woof." "[CAROLYN GROWLING]" "What have you done to my daughter?" "Well, Liz your perfect Collins pedigree lacked a bit of substance so I sent the werewolf who bit Carolyn in her crib." "Just like I made David no better than a bastard when I sent his mommy to the ocean floor to have tea with the tuna." "And as for you, my love I killed your mother and father." "I cursed your family, my Barnabas." "They kept us apart." "They never understood, we're the same." "We're meant to be." "DAVID:" "Leave him alone." "I think I'll kill you first, orphan." "David, get out!" "Your quarrel is with me." "My quarrel is with all of you." "I'm warning you." "This is your last chance." "Let us go." "And what will you do if I don't, you little bastard?" "Not me." "My mom." "[SHRIEKING]" "Go!" "David, come on." "Willie, come on." "So this is how it ends." "So quiet as if you were asleep." "You know, there was a time when I might have loved you." "We could have spent eternity together." "We still can." "You never wanted my love." "You wanted to possess me." "No." "I love you, Barnabas." "You cannot love, Angelique." "That is your curse." "[HEART BEATING]" "Take it." "BARNABAS:" "Victoria!" "Victoria!" "She said Widow's Hill." "What do we do now?" "What we've always done." "Endure." "BARNABAS:" "I thought I'd lost you." "You have lost me." "I live in the light, Barnabas." "You live in the shadows." "I'll grow old and die, and you'll live forever." "We will find a way, my love." "There's only one way." "No." "I will not see you suffer as I do." "Never." "No!" "Oh, Victoria." "My sweet Victoria." "Victoria." "Josette." "BARNABAS:" "It is said that blood is thicker than water." "It is what defines us." "Binds us." "Curses us." "My name is Barnabas Collins  and my curse has finally been broken." "[English" " US" " SDH]" "DAVID:" "You ruined it!" " You little..." " Carolyn, enough." " Enough, David." "The initial desire to take Dark Shadows and make it into a feature film is the idea of this highly, highly dysfunctional family." "The Collins family is odd." "That family in the neighborhood that everybody talks about." "The weird family." "BURTON:" "It's a real ensemble cast." "We kind of needed things to have that internal working amongst each other." "Children!" "BURTON:" "Especially with the family." "It's a non-average family, but we treat it like average." "BURTON:" "There are people I felt could be Dark Shadows people and others that aren't." "That was a strange sort of criteria of casting." "Angelique!" "Get out of my house." "BURTON:" "Johnny grew up watching the series and it was the same with Michelle." "You don't get more a die-hard fan of the Dark Shadows series than Michelle." "BURTON I worked with her on Batman Returns." "Catwoman, which was actually one of my favorite performances of anybody I've worked with." "PFEIFFER:" "Tim said when he went to cast the movie he thought about the weird factor which of course I love that he thought of me." "She understands that type of comedy." "How soon can the horses be ready?" "We don't have horses." "We have a Chevy." "We do these dinner and breakfast scenes around a table." "The whole family is there." "It's a family drama with highly comedic elements." "He's not staying with us forever, is he?" "Tim and I were going for the idea of this dining area where everyone sat down, but no one really likes each other." "Carolyn!" "Will you please turn that noise down?" "The silence in the scene meant so much more than anything that we could say." "MORETZ:" "I think it'd be really fun to be Carolyn." "She's this, like, Alice Cooper-loving Steve Miller Band-listening hippie." "The whole movie, everyone's like:" ""Oh, my gosh, it's just teenage angst."" "You know, "Why are you always so mad?"" "Chloë tapped into that troubled-teenager thing really, really well." "CARTER:" "Tim always has such a great eye for casting." "And he really has found a mini-Michelle." "You would believe they could be mother and daughter." "Yeah, they're the typical mother of a teenager." "She hates me, I hate her, heh." "Oh, jeez." "We're not getting along." "Carolyn, this is Ms. Winters." "Please, call me Vicky." "Victoria is the character that we kind of come into the Dark Shadows world through." "JULIA:" "You're a liar." "I can tell, you know." "Just from a person's face." "Yours says:" ""I have secrets."" "BURTON:" "Bella looks like a person who's been reincarnated." "That's why she was just the right person for Victoria." "It's really fun." "I've been fortunate enough I haven't shot Josette and Vicky on the same day." "But it's kind of great, because the look is so different." "It makes it a lot easier to play the two separate characters." "I was gonna scare you." "Were you scared?" "Terrified beyond belief." "BARNABAS:" "How long has it been?" "It's been 20 minutes." "Vicky relates to David because we're both haunted." "BURTON:" "The best way to describe it is Gully looks like a kid who looks like he sees ghosts." "MILLER:" "Tore us to pieces in one scene that he turned it on like that and I got really jealous." "[LAUGHS]" "This is the best first film I could've been in." "Everybody's really friendly and extremely witty and funny." "What have I told you about cutting holes in the sheets?" "Those are Egyptian cotton." "Exactly what I've been saying." "This family could use some balls." "BURTON:" "Jonny Lee Miller looked like the original Roger." "Not even knowing." "I don't think he knew the series at all or anything like that." "He's, like, one of my favorites in it." "MILLER:" "It's nice to play someone that is not very nice and a bit of an idiot, I would go as far as to say." "Because I'm not an idiot at all, so it's nice to get to play one." "[LAUGHS]" "Chop-chop, Willie, I'm starving." "And God help me if it's another bone-dry pot roast..." "[SNORING]" "Awaken." "HALEY:" "Willie's kind of somewhat of a disheveled, sloppy kind of guy." "In this version, he's the servant to the family." "He's quite different than the Willie Loomis from the soap opera." "BURTON:" "Many years ago, Jackie sent me an audition that he did on his own and I was sort of blown away by it." "[SINGING] I'll keep on drinking and trust my..." "HALEY:" "He's a different character for me." "I definitely looked at a lot of drunk people on the Internet." "That was very helpful." "He's a murderer." "McGRATH:" "Dr. Hoffman is David's psychiatrist." "She was only supposed to be there for two weeks when David was 5 or 6 and she's been there ever since." "She's overstayed her welcome." "You're the doctor." "Yeah." "And you're "the nanny," and she's "the bitch."" "DEPP:" "We've done about 15,000 films together, Helena and I." "Without even saying anything or trying anything we almost, like, try to out-weird each other." "BURTON:" "I don't know how flattered Helena was to be offered the role of an aging alcoholic psychiatrist but somebody's gotta do it, right?" "He saw me as the alcoholic psychiatrist as if it was really, really obvious." "[LAUGHING]" "DEPP:" "I don't know how many times I've killed Helena on films." "Tim constantly has me killing his wife in his movies." "I don't know what that means." "I know that Tim is so thrilled about the cast and everybody in it." "I think it's probably the most fun I've seen Tim have on a set." "Tim actually would sometimes laugh off camera in the middle of a take." "It won't happen again." "Because everybody was so funny and so weird." "BURTON:" "Luckily, at the end of it all, everybody that was in it for me, was like a Dark Shadows person whether they like it or not." "@NYDIC"
