He was really trying to make a good impression.

Just think he gets to come back as his own brother.

I guess it's just the suddenly dawning panic when he realizes he's probably not going to get out of this situation alive that strikes a chord in me.  Who among us doesn't dread suddenly realizing that we are up against a psychopath with no way out?  Imagine going into some guy's house to do some handiwork, then inadvertently signing your own death warrant by a single foolish action.  I also have to disagree about Tom's quality as a vampire.  I think he is the creepiest vampire in the history of the show. 

 [spoiler]The way he suddenly appears in the old house basement while Julia is alone there working on the experiment is one of the scariest moments in all of DS.  Reminds me a lot of that first scene in Night of the Living Dead.[/spoiler]

It does make a very interesting sub plot. Makes so many people think differently.

I just pulled out a 1968 tape and Tom seemed to be attempting a sort of Nosferatu image.  He seemed wraith-like and almost mindless, and the arm gesture seemed like Nosferatu.   Maybe the moments I disliked before were when he spoke.   I remember it seeming like a comedy Dracula impression.  What I see on this tape isn't bad.   He's not remotely like Barnabas was.   Maybe that was intentional, so that we wouldn't want to see him saved.   Did anyone think of him as the life force?
