Dark Shadows Title Sequence by The Morrison Studio

This is the final title sequence designed by Richard Morrison and Dean Wares. Tim Burton's Dark Shadows tells the story of an imprisoned vampire, Barnabas Collins played by Johnny Depp, who is set free and returns to his ancestral home, where his dysfunctional descendants are in need of his protection.

One of the best title openings.

I loved this opening! I wasn't even sure I wanted to see the movie, but this opening hooked me. Thanks for posting it.

If the whole film was as good as the first couple of minutes, it might have been one of Burton's best films. Had such potential.

[@alucard624]

Agreed. Why he thought turning Dark Shadows into a stupid comedy was a good idea is beyond me. What a waste of the cast too.

[@JP5466]

Exactly! The humor brought it down. Could've been an epic horror film

[@simaomonteiro2260]

Regardless of what you think of this movie, you can't deny it's one of Burton's most beautiful looking movies, Delbonnel's cinematography is gorgeous.

Name of the song - Nights in White Satin from Moody Blues

[@이재혁-h8z]

I love this opening This looks very beautiful and fantastic at the same time One of the most beautiful opening scene in movie history ♡♡♡

[@dennyluvsdilfs]

tim burton totally should've made this a TV series like the original. I really wanted to see more of Victoria's character. I feel like this movie would've done better as a TV show because of all of it's many plot points. I also just kinda get TV show vibe from this intro

[@johngrassl7116]

If Tim Burton and Johnny Depp had had a little more faith in the original source material they claimed to love and had played the rest of the film as straight, moody and (neo)gothic as this absolutely beautiful title sequence, the movie might have been a success and certainly would've been a lot more interesting than what we got.

[@greenbrown7776]

They have no restraint or control. Sadly.

[@nalkarj2840]

This, absolutely!

[@alucard624]

Agreed. Why they turned it into so much of a comedy is beyond me. The original series was never about going for laughs.

[@heliopolis]

Simply magnificent. Best part of film. Kudos.

Vicky is my favorite character in this film

[@sivaarunasiva9703]

Beautiful edit.. Wonderful music... Ameziing lighting.. Lovely direction... My heart is melting... What a seen.!

[@JP5466]

When I first saw these opening credits I thought this movie was going to be EPIC... the entire feel and look of this scene with that song gave me goosebumps! The humor brought the entire movie down.

[@greenbrown7776]

A brilliant opening and a nice nod to the first scene of the TV series. Perfect music and scene setter. It went downhill real fast after that.

[@tragedytrousers1769]

They really got the period right

[@tombuchanan7302]

Nights in white satin by the Moody Blues

[@scottpandich3972]

Beautiful opening. Shame the rest of the movie couldn't make up its mind to follow its tone.

[@metropod]

I mean... The only thing that ruins it is the exterior shots of the train. That's a modern Amtrak "Downeaster" train with a GE P42 "Genesis"-class locomotive... which wasn't built until the mid 1990s... Also there was no Amtrak route to Maine until 2001.

[@Brycejo18]

I really wish their was a series like this 🙌

[@TheRugby23]

It was a series in the 1960s, and there were 2 movies made for TV.

[@sivaarunasiva9703]

Most beautiful song... I don't know how many times i heard this song.... ELFMAN is one of a greatest musician.... I love him so much.. Thank you sir... For this EXCELLENT SONG..

[@TheRugby23]

The song is by the Moody Blues. Justin Hayward is singing.

[@NewYorkCityGuy]

Too bad the rest of the movie wasn't as good as the opening credits.

[@dragan_tufegdzhich]

... The Movie Is Not a Copy. It`s Original Movie. Wonderful Johnny Depp , Beautiful Actresses , Respect to All Crew ... Music is " from the time what never be The Past Time " ... So , whatever , ... I like the Movie ... Everyone have their rights for opinion about this movie ... ... From 1 to 10 , I give 10 !

[@darkprose]

The film did not fulfill the promise of this title sequence-but what a promise it was!

[@AshrafAnam]

Absolutely love this.

[@eddieondo4047]

Whatever Tim Burton decides to film, he puts his fingerprints on it. And Danny Elfman goes with him. And then we all gather together.

[@hell5309]

Tim, what happened to you? You used to set all your opening credits to tracking shots scored by Danny Elfman, even if you had to CGI them. What changed, man? What changed??

[@sweetheart436]

Wow it looks like Mr Mosley moved into Downton Abbey

[@tylersmith9465]

Awesome 😎

[@nicolasahumada2293]

does anione know the filming location of this sequence?

[@greenviewproductions133]

Nicolas Ahumada It was all CGI dude. All the interior shots was a set with green screen background. All exterior shots of the train was CGI. I think one or two shots was filmed in the Bayou of New Orleans. But I'm not sure on that it was a while back I learned (when the movie first released) As for the car scene. Probably some rural road like usual.

[@tylersmith9465]
