The zombies were great, except that one threw a towel onto the other's head, and the 2nd had to try to take a towel off his head in a zombie-like fashion. Then the visible tarp came down and dumped debris. One had his eye dangling... they made an attempt at that, anyway. No coffins?
Wasn't it silent through a lot of this, partly at least? No music helped. It seemed more real.
I wonder what the zombies tried to do to Barnabas after they pulled him away? Interesting that it's taken for granted that they couldn't really harm him, with his being a vampire, and that this didn't need to be discussed. Julia wonders when or how he'll follow her to 1840, not whether he's alright.
