It’s the last Wednesday before Halloween and our last chance for a chilling episode to set the mood. This week, it’s all about those charming bloodsuckers, Vampires. Their myths, their movies, and more are covered this week.

10, 4, 2, for a total of 24.
Yeah, not a huge vampire fan. Had no idea Jim Carrey was in that one, but I could only think of one movie that fit the rest of the description, and it was knowledge of Star Trek and… well, a roundabout way to know Lugosi’s last appearance that got me the nerdy points.
I’m tempted to claim half a point for the “it wasn’t Tarantino, it was that other guy who directed ________” answer where I couldn’t come up with his name.
Vampires!! Let’s see if my love of Buffy helps me today.
Dorky – 7 right, 7 points – I didn’t know that King story was about Vampires.
Geeky – 4 right, 8 points – It’s a bit embarrassing that I got the Sesame Street question right and saw Milla’s movie. (It’s pretty to look at, but it works better when you appreciate more as a colorful screensaver than a story.)
Nerdy – 3 right, 9 points – “Oh, that one where McCoy’s old flame is…” is not the name of the episode. (Also, Blaine’s comment helped me get that answer.)
Total – 14 right, 24 points – No Buffy questions?!
TBF, I did have an ENTIRE episode about Buffy, so I couldn’t just retread the same ground with this one.
You did, that’s fair, but she showed up last week, so I was on guard for her this time.
I’m such a tease.
8= 8 That King story is his first novel, though it was the second published, and the first one of his that I read.
6=12
5=15
35
And of course, the most iconic character from that 60s/70s soap did not appear until episode 211 (or 210, if you want to get picky).
I did learn that about BC during my research, but figured he was the most famous character and the episode is all about vampires…so…
Try being the kid who heard all about the show with the vampire, the kid who has read a few of the Gold Key Dark Shadows comics, who finally gets to watch the early reruns… And has to endure a hundred hours of gothic soap opera before Barnabas ever appears.
