The Lebanon Daily News traces the origins of the series Dark Shadows now that Tim Burton's version has been released:

Carrie decides that she and Doug are getting dumber everyday, so she signs them up for a classic literature class. Doug is not very happy about the decision, and tends to goof off in the class. They are given an assignment to read the novel "Jane Eyre", and then answer questions on what they read. Doug never reads the the book, and is desperate for the answers.
