Current Talk '06 II / Re: Worst DS Memorabilia?
« on: August 04, 2006, 04:48:19 PM »But I never understood how Barnabas the Vampire could stand to TOUCH the silver when silver (as in bullets) should have been akin to Cryptonite for him in that condition. Vampire-lore entusiasts, correct? Or no?
For some vampires, a silver weapon makes a wound that doesn't heal. A common repellent is garlic, but not silver. And of course using a wooden stake is the more traditional method for killing a vampire.
I always believed that Barnabas' silver wolf's head cane was a homage to (or ripoff of) Larry Talbot, who, btw, can be seen holding the cane when he was between transformations.
What I wonder is why a vampire would want to keep such a highly reflective surface close by, but that's me.
