Interesting. Or should I say, curious?
Have these people never seen the numerous vampire films where the vamp is always pale? Have they never read the numerous vamp novels/short stories in which the vamp is always described as "pale"?
And as for Frid, have they never seen the DS eps in which it would be an understatement to describe Barn's look/Frid's makeup as "pale"? For one, and as Taeylor mentioned, they should just check out the Leviathan eps after Barn is turned into a vampire again. To say the least, Barn's vamp look is pale and entirely to the extreme!
And I wonder what Ann Magnusan's views are on vamps with Pepe Le Pu white streaks in their hair? The look for Depp's Barn is nowhere near that extreme, and yet some people tend to completely forget about how Frid's Barn had that look for months in 1970.
