THURSDAY, MAY 10! - Movie Madness

THURSDAY, MAY 10! - EVENT SOLD OUT 2012 is the year we see "Dark Shadows," the new movie being brought to us by 2 famous, longtime DS fans. Johnny Depp stars as "Barnabas" in a major film directed by his frequent collaborator Tim Burton, along with an all-star cast. "Dark Shadows" opens internationally on Friday, May 11 (a week or two later in Japan and a few other territories). On the evening of THURSDAY, MAY 10, the DS Festival presents a very special "Dark Shadows Movie Party." This event for DS fans runs from 6:00 pm to Midnight. This actually is the evening before the official opening (theatres usually cannot show a film before midnight on its opening date). Attendees will be in a classic theatre for this screening, joined in the audience by original DS stars and hundreds of DS fans together, all watching the eagerly-anticipated new DS movie for the first time - and before many others get to see it. ---LOCATION: The historic Vista Theatre, 4473 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90027. These original DS stars will attend and will be signing autographs that evening: There is no fee for autographs. --- OUR DS GUESTS: LARA PARKER, NANCY BARRETT, JERRY LACY, KATHRYN LEIGH SCOTT, CHRISTOPHER PENNOCK, ROGER DAVIS, JAMES STORM and LISA RICHARDS - plus "other special guests"! Lara and Kathryn - along with DS' Jonathan Frid and David Selby - made cameo appearances in the movie. These were filmed in England last summer. A variety of DS memorabilia will be available for purchase and there will be a charity auction. In a "Special Double Feature on the Big Screen," the 1970 theatrical release "House of Dark Shadows" will be shown first. It was the first feature movie based on a daytime soap opera. Original TV cast members re-created their TV characters in a stand-alone story about Barnabas' release from the coffin after almost 200 years. His obsessive search for his lost love Josette drives the vampire into Collinwood itself. --- SCHEDULE: Thursday, May 10, 2012 - 6:00 pm to Midnight 6:00 - HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS (1970 movie starring Jonathan Frid) - Screening 7:45 - Cast Greetings / Celebrity Autographs and Charity Auction 9:30 - DARK SHADOWS (2012 movie starring Johnny Depp) - First Screening --- PLEASE NOTE: TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE AND MUST BE PURCHASED BY ADVANCE REGISTRATION ONLY.
