Ideas & Observations -- Reference Lists
Reference Lists in Progress:
Note: Episodes 19 and 20 both involve unreal sequences; items which emerge
from them, as they can't be trusted or are actually untrue, are marked with
an asterisk.

Now dead: fell on stake during fight with kids. Note: Or is she a vampire? She has fangs (do zombies have fangs?) and seems to be the leader of the two male zombies. However,
I put her on the zombie list because vampires on the series look sophisticated and intelligent, while she is a mess.)

Vampire Characteristics:
The episode references refer to when the characteristic is first shown if it is common; if it unusual, they refer to all the episodes in which it appears. Note: It is unknown whether less powerful vampires are able to do all of the things Lucard can, so a few of the characteristics may not be universal.
- Fangs when vamped out (Ep.1)
- Pointy, long fingernails when vamped out (Ep. 1)
- No eyebrows when vamped out, sometimes (Ep. 1?)
- Cannot resist poppy seeds; absolutely mad about them (Ep. 1)
- Able to turn into a bat and fly away (Ep. 1)
- Cringe at the sight of a cross (Ep. 1)
- Steam and feel pain at contact with holy water (Ep. 1)
- When staked, glow, disintegrate into skeleton, and disappear (Ep. 1)
- Like to lift people by the collar/neck with one hand (Ep. 1, Female Zombie #1; eps. 4 & 5 , Lucard)
- Male vampires have yellow eyes when vamped out (Ep. 2; note: not true in ep. 1!)
- Female vampires do not change eye color when vamped out (Ep. 1)
- Able to laugh while in bat form (Lucard, ep. 1; Sophie, ep. 14; Klaus, eps. 6 & 18)
- Able to judge the time until sunset, to the second, merely by looking at the sun! (Ep. 2)
- Have control over the environment (I'll bet vampires less powerful than Lucard can't do all this!)
Produce lightning and thunder (Ep. 2)
Cause electric lights to flicker (Ep. 2)
Cause weird vampire movie to appear on TV (Ep. 2)
Make the telephone ring (Ep. 2)

Make a closed door fly open by itself (Ep. 2)
- Leviate and float (Ep.2; Lucard floats through Max's upstairs bedroom window. Note that we don't usually actually see Lucard fly, so this is unusual. Ordinarily, he turns into a bat first or disappears).
- Great hand strength (Ep. 2: Lucard crushes a baseball to powder, saying, "It's all in the wrist.")
- Able to sense the presence of the Cross of the Magyars even before seeing it (Ep. 2; it was covered by a cloth)
- Cause the Cross of the Magyars to emit a bolt of electricity (Ep. 2; obviously, did not destroy Lucard), or a blast of fire (Ep. 3, Arthur Bauer: destroyed instantly in the usual vampire fashion) and zap them.
- Vulnerable to the vampire-repellent properties of the quinidrine solution: can be returned to human status by drinking solution (Gustav, although he had not fully become a vampire yet: Ep. 3), or be hurt by blue energy bolts produced by human drinker of the solution (Lucard & Klaus, ep. 3) in response to their presence. Note that humans are not hurt by said energy bolts (witness Chris). Effects from being zapped by energy bolts appear to be short-term.
- Able to appear and disappear wherever they desire (is there a limit?) in a flash of golden light and golden particles (Ep.3)
- Affected negatively (not specified in what manner) by wolfsbane (Ep. 4)
- Cringe at contact with garlic (Ep. 4 mentioned; ep. 5 evidenced)

- Do not reflect in mirrors (except for "synthetic reflective surfaces"??) (Ep. 4)
- Have incredibly thick skulls... (Able to knock people out by clonking heads with them: Ep. 4)
- When hit by vampire gun (ray of concentrated sunlight), choke, shake like crazy, glow, disintegrate into skeleton, and disappear... eventually. (Ep. 4)
- Able to transform into the form of other people (e.g., Gustav, Max) in a cloud of grey smoke. Note: Nosferatu is the only vampire we ever see do this, and it is unknown whether Lucard has this ability. (Ep. 5)

- Able to disappear along with objects (Dr. Cross with a hearse, Ep. 5)
- Cannot leave grave if wild rose branches are placed there (this may only be true of a newly dead vampire victim who has not become undead yet; it is not specified) (Ep. 6)
- Able to slowly feed on a victim over a number of weeks (months?) before actually killing him or her (Klaus, ep. 6)
- Their buried treasure gives off a blue flame when there is a full moon on St. George's Eve (Ep. 6)

curse will eventually wear off (Lucard, ep. 7, ep. 10, in which the curse
is broken with holy water)

temporarily resisted (Ep. 7)
- Can "sleep" more than fifty years without drinking blood, experiencing no
apparent adverse effects (Jonas Carey, ep. 7)

vulnerable to its destruction (Jonas Carey, ep. 7, Lucard, ep. 18)
- Are not vulnerable to protective talismans if invited into home by
resident (Eps. 7 and 9)
- If they enter a house protected by a talisman while still human, are
driven out (without being destroyed) as they change into vampires (Eileen
Townsend, ep. 8)
- Can sense the presence of mortals nearby (Lucard, ep. 8; note that this
is the only time he ever demonstrates this power, and it would make
mincemeat of several other episodes' plots)

Lucard's Ties:
"Nice tie." All Lucard's ties, and other wardrobe elements (my specialty is collar styles). As Sarah T. points out, "I think it's, um, critical to keep track of Lucard's ties. After all, he is the power-dresser par excellence...but he has a relatively restricted wardrobe, as he dresses formally almost all the time. All that black and white! Not that it isn't gorgeous on him, but it is predictable. The tie (and on occasion--the vampire movie star episode, for example--the hat) is his one chance to express himself."

Lucard's (And Klaus's) Shakespeare Quotes:
All the Shakespeare lines Lucard and Klaus have quoted, and their correct references. Link to the original quotes in context and see for yourself--Klaus is better than Lucard at siting Shakespeare, oddly enough.
- "Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night!" (Henry VI, Part One, Act: I, Scene: i, Line: 1). Lucard and Gustav say it is Henry V, and Klaus corrects them. (Lucard, ep. 3)
- "When he shall die / Take him and cut him out into little stars / And he will make the face of heaven so fine / That all the world will be in love with night / And pay no worship to the garish sun." (Romeo and Juliet, Act III, Scene ii,
Lines: 18-25). Lucard says it's Act II, Scene iii, and Klaus corrects him. (Lucard and Klaus, ep. 3)
- "I shall do such things...what they are yet I know not, but they shall be
the terrors of the earth!" (King Lear, Act 2, Scene iv). (Klaus, ep. 18)
- "Ay, every inch a king!" (King Lear, Act: 4, Scene vi). Lucard misidentifies it as Act 4, Scene v, and Klaus corrects him. (Klaus, ep. 18)
- "When I do stare, see how the subject quakes!" (King Lear, Act 4, Scene vi). (Lucard, ep. 18)
- "If one good deed in all my life I did, I do repent it from my very soul!"
(Titus Andronicus, Act 5, Scene iii). (Lucard, ep. 18)
