Chloe Moretz of Dark Shadows- now filming under the direction of Tim Burton - is here to give you a bit more about the production.

In an interview with Movies.com she talks about her character:






With Dark Shadows, what is your take on Carolyn Stoddard?

Oh, Carolyn, that’s a fun character. That’s a really fun character. She is crazy.

She is this teenager, like 15-year-old hippie who is into The Carpenters and Alice Cooper. She’s super music-y and raw, like free love, you know. She’s fun.

I can’t say much because he has a really dark secret I can’t tell you.





Something that people obsessed with the old soap opera would know or a new secret?

No, it’s new. It’s new to everything so go see it. May of next year, Dark Shadows!





Is it totally serious or with a wink?

Oh no, no. It’s Tim Burton so it’s like Beetlejuice.

I have to say it’s a mixture of Beetlejuice, a teeny bit of Sweeney and the scariness of Sweeney but the fun of Sleepy Hollow with the scariness of Sleepy Hollow.



I’d definitely say it’s a lot like Sleepy Hollow because you go from the Ichabod Crane character to the Headless Horseman who’s comedic and yet terrifying.

It straddles that fine line of camp and drama so it’s like a drama horromedy thriller.
