No kidding! And apparently they figured out it wasn't really working because just as suddenly, after Barnabas emerges from his coffin confinement in 1970PT, all trace of Pepe is gone.

In the early 1967 episodes, Vinnie would doll him up with special vampire makeup for certain scenes, but then he'd be back to normal once he was in his "dear Cousin Barnabas" mode visiting the family at Collinwood.
It wasn't until years later while watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer that I explained away all that to myself as Barnabas showing his true self but then figuring out how to control it. Though don't ask me why that theory doesn't apply to him first being a vampire in 1796. Though just maybe back then Barnabas wasn't as crazed as he was in 1967 after being released from a coffin after being chained in it for 172 years, so that form of his true self never really emerged. Though back in 1796 there were certainly eps when Barnabas was extremely pale.
