London after midnight/tim burton


I'm surprised Tim Burton has never attempted to remake this. I think he would have done a great job

After the botch job Burton did on Dark Shadows, I hope he never goes near another horror title.

My problem with Dark Shadows was that it seemed to make fun of the source material like the Starsky and Hutch film did. Now I was never a fan of that show, but from what I have seen I don't think you could have done anything other then a comedy. But Here, Burton could have made a great, gothic and macabre vampire film that could have set a new bar in the genra, like Interview with the Vampire did. But instead we get camp, and not in a good way.

Sadly, I don't think anyone will touch the property with a ten foot pole for a very long time because of what He did with it.

How true. Forgot about that one.
