Just last week we got our first official look at the entire cast in full wardrobe for the big screen adaptation of Dark Shadows, the 1960's gothic daytime serial with vampires, ghosts, ghouls, zombies, werewolves, parallel universes and time-paradoxes. Tim Burton is at the helm of the film that seems to call back to "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family" and in a couple new official photos from the set (via Empire), we see the director hard at work with the cast, including a creepy, bloody-handed Johnny Depp. Also, in what may or may not be good news, this film will not be shot or converted into 3D. See the new photos below!

Here are the two new photos from the set of Tim Burton's Dark Shadows via Empire:

Based on the 1960's gothic daytime serial with vampires, ghosts, ghouls, zombies, werewolves, parallel universes and time-paradoxes, Tim Burton is directing this adaptation of Dark Shadows written by author turned screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter). The film marks yet another collaboration between Burton and actor Johnny Depp, playing vampire Barnabas Collins, and the filmmaker's wife Helena Bonham Carter. The rest of the cast includes Chloe Moretz (Let Me In), Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen), Eva Green (Casino Royale), Michelle Pfeiffer (Stardust) and more. Dark Shadows is slated to hit theaters on May 11th, 2012. Looking good so far?
