Home many people did Barnabas murder?
Joe
In the beginning he was a bad guy. Then a good guy. He murdered Jason
Maguire. How about his cousin Karl that was trapped in the crypt with
him that came running out saying "we are going to kill cousin barnabas
tonight". That was murder as Karl didnt do anything to deserve that.
One could argue that Angelique was not murder in the 1795 timeline.
Who else did he outright murder? Some may be called self defense like
getting rid of a ghost or something. Trask was murder. Or was it
Barnabas that did that. Havent seen the show in a long time.

Barnabas spends the issue running from place to place (fangs always
out), trying to kill people, but fails. Through one trick or another,
everybody ends up alive again at the end (I'm thinking maybe there was a
comic code thing that kept him from *successfully* murdering anyone).
Except for Trask; they showed him walling up Trask in a flashback.

He wasn't murdering them; he was giving them eternal life. Okay, maybe
not. Barnabas was pretty selfish. :)
Joe
So what is the body count? A lot I bet.

Didnt he also kill some prostitutes in 1795? They were calling him
the Collinsport strangler.

Yes, Barnabas can also lay claim to being a serial ho'-killer. When Trask
invoked the ghosts of Barnabas' victims to pass sentence on Barnabas there
was already quite a large jury pool to choose from.
Also in Barnabas' death tally are his him-or-me fight to the death battles
with John Yeager and vampire Tom Jennings.
And credit Barnabas, too, with the vicious murder of Dave Woodard.

How did he kill Dave Woodard and why did he kill Dave? Oh was that
the guy that tried to trick him by saying he saw Sarah Collins?
Forgot the reason he was trying to do whatever. Would he have killed
Dave if he didnt mention Sarah?

The Dr woodard murder really got me mad, just as it did Sarah.

I thought Julia Hoffman killed Dr Woodard. Didn't she inject him with
something?
Joe
Been a long time but I think it was barnabas. Julia was supposed to
kill somebody with an injection but didnt go through with it.
Barn did actually kill him.

Or Drac the Sipper. Equally as bad.

That would be Baby Barnabas.

Or equally as good! I was gonna use that one.
Speaking of vampires, though, has any "body" seen a recent Swedish vampire
flick called "Let the Right One In"? It is one twisted, kooky-spooky
romance! Any DS fan who isn't subtitles-impaired should check it out.

some online articles about it, and it looks like a really intriguing
film, lots of great buzz about it.
Apparently, it will be relesed on DVD this spring, and they're already
doing an English-language remake.
Will definitely check it out when it comes to DVD (our small town only
has one 6-plex theatre and it's unlikely we'll get it here)

Can we now return to the question of how many people Barnabas
murdered? That does not include those that were killed in self
defense. Was he evil Barnabas or good Barnabas when he killed Dave
Woodard?

There's a nice one minute clip from the movie over at the Internet Movie
Database:

Blurg! I think that's terrible. For example, why bother watching "Point of
No Return" when "La Femme Nikita" is such a better movie.

He was definitely being evil, vicious, SOB Barnabas when he murdered Dave
Woodard.
Have we already counted that he killed Angelique at least twice?
His murder of Lamar Trask because Lamar killed Angelique seems especially
hypocritical on that basis.
Didn't Barnabas also kill Dirk Wilkins? And use his hypno-powers to get
Istvan to jump off Widows Hill?

If she gets better, does it count as killing her?
FredHerring
>>If she gets better, does it count as killing her
I believe there is already a Dark Shadows line of dialogue to that effect:
"I didn't say she was dead... I said I killed her."

Gold Key comics never submitted to the actual Comics Code but they
pretty much put out the most kid-friendly comix of the 1960s & 70s.
The Code did have a special section forbidding the appearances of
"vampires, werewolves and zombies" from their approved comics.
Just ran across a great blog reproducing an entire issue of the Dark
Shadows comic book, #6, where Barnabas encounters a mummy, of all
things:
http://monstermemories.blogspot.com/2008/12/dark-shadows-issue-6.html
"...In the story, a downright hefty and obviously well-fed mummy ends
up in Collinsport. Barnabas, turning into a detective, only needed to
don a deerstalker cap and smoke a pipe, while wielding a magnifying
glass to be Sherlock Holmes. There's a lot of running, and finger-
pointing, and Barnabas is suspected; while he blames poor lycanthropic
Quentin for the mummy's misdeeds. Ol' Barney, being the good guy that
he is, prepares to poison his pal to help him out. After all, what are
friends for, if not to show tough love? Quentin has a killer hangover
and just wants to be left alone. As for the mummy's murderous ways,
there's never any reason for the bandaged one to attack those random
people, but I guess it's just what he does, being a mummy and all..."
