Seth Grahame – Smith Talks About Dark Shadows with Fearnet and Collider

Posted by Jessica on

Cover of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter...Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter author Seth Grahame-Smith talks to Fearnet and Collider about writing the screenplay for Tim Burton‘s “Dark Shadows” film.

Switching gears to Dark Shadows, Grahame-Smith revealed that he attended a test screening recently and it went very well. He talked about how the film differs from Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and addressed fan reaction to the trailer:

“[Dark Shadows] is a completely different type of movie [from Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter]. It’s much more overtly funny, it’s PG-13 it’s not R, I would say it’s probably a little more family-oriented than Lincoln in its R-rating gore fest. I think the trailer has kind of confused a couple people because they’re like, ‘Wait, is this not dark? Is it not shadowy? Is it all humor?’ That’s not the case; we have a very funny movie which has some very dark, gothic elements in it.”

Grahame-Smith went on to say that though the film is lighter than Vampire Hunter, it’s still dark when compared to Burton’s recent output:

“To me it’s more of a harkening back to the Sleepy Hollow or Beetlejuice Tim [Burton] movies. It’s not as broadly family as Alice in Wonderland is, or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it’s a little darker than that. It’s very different, and it’s epic.”
