Three Makes it a Trend: Someone's Pumped for the Dark Shadows Movie!

At The MET Ball, there was a lot of Dark Shadows fans coming out of the woodwork

(Amy Adams and Giambattista Valli) 

Mr Valli is just missing a cane and a cape to win Barnabas Collins look-a-like of the year. Take note Johnny Depp: this is how you should have looked. Not like drag queen Liza. 

(Lana Del Ray in Joseph Altuzarra) 

All she's missing is a turban for the evil gypsy look. Or a poison apple. 

(Brooke Shields)

Oh there's the cane! 

Oh No! Barnabas Collins Bites the Dust!

A personal hero of mine (and one of the best lookin' men in a double breasted suit, might I add) Jonathan Frid, aka Barnabas Collins has died!


The 87 year old actor passed away on Friday the 13th, natch, yet his family just released the news

On the eve of the Tim Burton big movie adaption, Mr Frid's work as the daytime vampire with a conscious was bound to get new fans and recognition. It's a shame he won't be able to witness the new found fandom but we at It Can't All Be Dior tip our baying dog head canes to you fine sir!

That the much hyped film version/remake of "Dark Shadows" is even a fraction as deliciously campy as the original series

Please don't "Planet of the Apes" this ish, Tim Burton!

Everbody Loves Dark Shadows, Darlin'!

A famous actress from True Blood came into my work this weekend. I didn't realize who she was at first, just that she was asking my co-worker for any pieces from Dark Shadow, the Rick Owens line

I thought she said "Dark Shadows" the 60's soap and the object of my current devotion. You know I had to jump in!



Me: "Did you say Dark Shadows? I was just watching that on my lunch break. Barnabas is totally gunning for Vicky Winters now that his plan to seduce Maggie Evans into thinking she's his deceased former love, Josette failed."

She: Oh my God, I love Dark Shadows. All these new supernatural shows rip it off so much.



Little did I know, until I Googles her after, what a cheeky little wink this was. Clever clover, I knew I knew her from somewhere!

Collins it a Day!

Late nites have been spent on Netflix watching the Collins clan on the old 1966 Dark Shadows
