Current Talk '14 II / Re: Silver and (not) Gold, Silver and (not) Gold

« on: January 02, 2015, 02:05:18 AM »

Patti, assuming you meant "relatively newish" in movies, I came up with examples from Hammer in the 60s and 70s... in The Brides of Dracula, the Baroness held her son captive by having his leg placed in silver chains. Of course all he had to do was convince a pretty girl to unlock them. And in The Satanic Rites of Dracula, Van Helsing made a silver bullet to use on Dracula.

True Blood also used silver chains to confine vampires.

Watching '12 DS....Barn mentions the Family silver replaced.

The 2012 Barnabas couldn't come in contact with silver without bursting into flames. The handle of his cane was ivory and he was able to touch the family's set of utensils because it was a knockoff.

I hate when that happens.

Can anyone give more than 2 examples of vampires being repelled by silver?

The mythology of pure silver being toxic to vampires is old (it burns, injures, paralyzes, or slows them down; but silver piercing their heart is another matter), yet I can only think of newer examples:

the Blade movies
Dracula 2000 (wasn't he imprisoned in a silver coffin?)
Dracula Untold
the Moonlight TV series

Angel isn't (I don't think),

I don't think it ever came up in Angel. And I managed to avoid the Twilight movies too, Patti.

I don't believe it! I knew I had done something on that subject, but can't believe it was the exact same words (and twice)!!

The posted link was to another site's image from one of their image galleries (isolating the jpeg and blocking the ads). It was changed to a webpage on that site that displays the same image.

Lydia set the rules when she created the game:

2) Naturally, everything must be related to Dark Shadows, and the relationship must be real. If you have JA, you could add a C for:

JAC Julia's Awful Clothes

because I believe it is generally agreed that Julia had some truly awful clothes, but you could not add a C for:

JAC Julia's Awful Car

because we do not have conclusive evidence (or any evidence at all, as far as I know) that Julia's car was awful.

Sorry.
