What is it with Johnny Depp being able to pull off some of the freakiest looks ever, and yet, we still love him?!

Although he may not sparkle like some other vampires we all know and love, Depp still looks like quite the striking bloodsucker, if we do say so ourselves.

So, what's the deal with the undead makeover?

A movie, duh!

Warner Bros. has released this new shot of Depp as Barnabas Collins in Tim Burton's (of course) upcoming adaptation of Dark Shadows, a gothic TV soap that aired from 1966-1971.

Depp's nightwalker character was buried alive in the 1700s and freed in the 20th century—you can imagine the changes that happened in that time—and so the film follows his run-ins with various monsters, werewolves, witches and ghosts.

We're getting a Beatles meets Edward Scissorhands vibe in this look, and we dig it.
