7/23/2023 0 Comments Bill compton cardboard cutoutHe doesn't shoot Varney, I think, but mostly because he gets drunk or runs away when important things happen. Manages to mangle the word Vampyre into Wamphighter on a frequent basis. He and Bell have this weird bromance going on, where they insult each other horribly but can't live without each other. Jack Pringle: Imagine Sam Weller from the Pickwick papers, and this is him. Jack Pringle telling him repeatedly to go to hell is the second. Varney insulting him and manipulating him is the highlight of the book. ![]() Starts out hilarious, gets annoying fast. He's this pompous caricature of an admiral who brings life to the book only because he takes no nonsense from anyone save Jack Pringle, his sort of butler/seaman past crewmate. Bell is too stupid for this plan to work.īell is.well. He's Charles's uncle, who gets drawn in when Marchdale tries to get him to drive Charles away by telling him Charles is going to marry a vampire's victim. Nothing of value is lost.Īdmiral Bell: Aka the A_l. Gets captured and locked in some ruins for much of the middle of the book. Has the personality of a block of wood, but this one is varnished. Thinks the best way to deal with a vampire is to meet him by himself at midnight in order to duel him, despite knowing that Varney can kick everyone's ass usually. Charles really has it coming.Ĭharles Holland: Flora's fiance. ![]() Winds up in league with Varney due to jealousy and meets a bad end. Crack shot, who shoots Varney multiple times, once being a hilarious snipe at range when Varney is recovering from being shot from the last evening. Mr Marchdale: Family friend of the Bannerworths. ![]() Also has the personality of a block of wood. In a hilarious scene, he calls Varney a vampire to his face, and is made to look like an idiot despite it being true. Wants to kick Varney's ass, generally fails in doing so. Henry Bannerworth: Head of Bannerworth estate, rather sickly. Is just there to be menaced and fought over. She has the personality of a block of wood. Is engaged to Charles Holland and her brother is Henry. Varney wants to suck her blood, then softens to her, and just wants her out of the way so he can get into Bannerworth Hall. I'm not even going to try to synopsize this, but just list the characters.įlora Bannerworth: The chick. If you read this in the right mood it can be hilarious, but this is one hell of a slog for something that bears little resemblance to modern vampires and doesn't have plot holes, it has plot subways. John in the television show Moonlight, Louis in Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, Kain in Legacy Of Kain, Morbius in Forever Knight, Angel and Spike from the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Bill Compton in Charlaine Harris' The Southern Vampire Mysteries, and Edward and his family in Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series (who solve the problem by going “vegetarian”- drinking only animal blood instead of human). This concept has remained a theme throughout much of vampire literature, including such characters as Countess Zaleska in the film Dracula's Daughter, Barnabas Collins in the television show Dark Shadows, Mick St. Varney also introduces the concept of the “sympathetic vampire.” He loathes his condition, but is a slave to it. In addition, he can eat and drink in human fashion when needed for disguise, but human food and drink do not generally agree with him. Unlike later fictional vampires, however, he is able to go out in daylight and has no particular fear or loathing of crosses or garlic. Varney the Vampire introduced many of the themes and devices used in vampire fiction even to this day: Varney has fangs, leaves two puncture wounds on the necks of his victims, has hypnotic powers, and has superhuman strength. It was finally published in book form in 1847. * If the allocated width is met before the height, then the Celebrity will become slightly shorter than their real life height, and for our Minis it may mean they are slightly shorter than 60cm.Varney the Vampire or, the Feast of Blood had a humble beginning as a serialized gothic horror story that ran in penny dreadfuls from 1845 to 1847.
