Richard Throckett Straker Timeline & Summary

  • Straker meets up with Barlow at some point, probably in England. They hit it off because vampires like bald dudes.
  • Straker makes a deal with Lawrence Crockett in 1974 to buy the Marsten House and a storefront.
  • In 1975, Straker comes to 'Salem's Lot and kills Win Purinton's dog, Doc, because vampires are scared of dogs with white markings on their eyes. Bald guys are good; white-eyed dogs are bad. Memorize that, and you can be a vampire, too.
  • Straker sacrifices Ralphie Glick in a Satanic ritual to open the town for Barlow.
  • Straker arranges for Barlow's coffin and 100 giraffes to be moved to the Marsten House basement.
  • Okay, no giraffes.
  • Straker shows up at his antique store and charms the populace.
  • Straker catches Susan and Mark sneaking around the Marsten House; he puts Susan in the basement and ties Mark up.
  • Mark escapes and bashes Straker in the head with a cot leg just before nightfall.
  • Barlow finds the bloody Straker, and all the blood is so good he can't restrain himself, so he kills him Straker. Barlow is hard on the help.
  • Straker's dead body, bled white, is left hanging upside down in the Marsten House for the vampire hunters to find.
