For one, despite the presence of backup singers, the lead singer narrates her father's words.Many have speculated the narrator is Julie after the fact.Some have her smirking at Sara's arrest, implying she always hated her and relished her downfall, while others have her sobbing in horror, heartbroken at what has transpired, some even showing her genuinely pitying Sara by the end. Of course, it could all be in Sara's mind. Julie Jenkins is usually portrayed as an Wheelchair Woobie in animatics, but a couple portray her as more villainous, milking her amputated leg for sympathy.Did he take Julie Jenkins to the prom just to spite his ex, because he wanted to latch on to whoever was the most popular at the time, or because he - like the rest of the school - saw her as an In-Universe Wheelchair Woobie and decided to take her out of pity? Hell, did he actually take Julie to the prom, or was it a last ditch effort to bring Sara back to reality? One animatic has him and Julie bonding while Sara was busy being Prom Queen, suggesting that they had gradually grown to like one another. "The Ballad of Sara Berry" gets this a lot.Is the Mister as attached to the Night Walker as she is to him, or is he merely using her, leading to a Mad Love / Love Martyr scenario?.Did the Mister intend only to use the Night Walker as food, only to accidentally turn her into a vampire and take her into his coven and fall for her in the process? Did he callously make her a vampire on purpose so he'd have a partner (both for hunting and general companionship), her feelings on the matter be damned? Or is he a Jerkass Woobie, being a desperately lonely individual unable to form normal connections due to his monstrous nature, and eventually giving into temptation and turning the first person to show him kindness so they could be together? It doesn't excuse his turning her into a bloodsucking creature of the night without her consent, but it could be at least a little understandable.One other possibility is that the female singer was enthralled by the male vampire after being turned, and her brief moments of melancholy are in fact brief moments of lucidity where she recognizes the horror of what she's done before subsuming back into her blissful bloodthirstiness.Is she really in love, or has she simply convinced herself she is to try and make the best of her situation, since there's no viable escape? Are the couple actually in genuine love with one another, or do they just work together because it's more effective for them to hunt as a pair? The female singer even notes that while her being turned by the male vampire "was right as rape," she also goes on to happily sing that she'd die for him regardless.Did Luanne drown herself so she wouldn't be forced to go back to her abusive home, or she figured he'd kill her anyway? Or did the bastard outright murder her, and claim it was suicide to cover his tracks?.If true, this adds a new level of karmic justice to the ending and makes Luanne's ultimate victory even better. ![]() ![]() While the story definitely ends with Luanne returning after death to drag her husband down to Hell, the lines "the bastards will never sleep again" and "a caution to the cruelest of men" has led some to speculate that Luanne isn't just an angry ghost, but an avenging angel who now protects victimized women everywhere, giving their abusers the same treatment she gave her own. ![]() Some animatics interpret the "grating, growling" line as not referring to Luanne's husband, but instead the dog trying to protect her from him. ![]()
