Watched the first 6 original episodes recently. I was completely hooked on that show as a kid. Amazing how cheesy a show gets after 50 yrs and thru a 10yo's eye. It was the most popular soap from 1966-1971....amazing.I will probably still watch the first 3 seasons....lol....it's on Amazon.

I fricking LOVED the remake in the early 90s.

Ben Cross was a great Barnabas, and the chick that played Josette was smokin.

Also young JGL’s first big break.

Still haven’t gotten over them canceling it after 12 eps

I watched it a few times as a kid too. Was scared of Barnabus. My mom didn't watch it, or want us to watch it. Most of what I saw was when it was syndicated during the early 80. Had a gf that watched it, and The Guiding Light.

The Tim Burton movie was far better than it had any right to be IMO.

Eva Green

That show, especially the opening sequence, used to be pretty scary to me when I was a kid.

Eva Green was smokin hot, but the movie itself was hot garbage. If they had played it straight instead of for laughs, and cast someone other than Johnny Depp as Barnabas, it could’ve been really good. Also, making Carolyn a stoner who turned into a werewolf was not a good idea.
