Over the course of Season Three lots of humans, vampires, werewolves and other supernatural beings are killed in Mystic Falls and other places when applicable. This article contains information and sometimes pictures of everyone killed in Mystic Falls and other places; whether staked, bitten, neck snapped, or otherwise.

Throughout this season people-humans, vampires, werewolves etc.-have been killed. Most in the present, but there are a few that took place in the past including as far back as 1864 and other flashbacks and they are included in the total but will be distinguished from present day. The death of a vampire could be counted twice if his human death also appears on screen in the present or past. How many times Elena and other people are saved whether it was by their own ingenuity or by another intervening will also be noted. Also noted will be the villain of the episode if any. A villain will be a killer who has killed unjustifiably endangers people or causes needles bodily harm.

At the Lockwood Mansion, Stefan stabs Daniel but his life is saved by Damon, who doesn't want to incur the wrath of Klaus or the Founder's Council who had already warned Damon to keep his brother in check. Klaus told Tyler to bite Caroline to retaliate for what Stefan did to Mindy and to test his sire bond. Tyler firmly refused but Tyler did go and meet up with Caroline in the crypt that she had been having a weird birthday/funeral in.

Alaric is found in Elena's house by Matt and Elena he had been stabbed and near death and as no one was sure whether he had been attacked by a human or a supernatural creature, Elena took it upon herself to finish him off to secure his eventual revival by the Gilbert Ring as she is a Petrova Doppelgänger and therefore supernatural. An unnamed girl was drained of her blood to the point of death by Klaus, he had first offered Stefan to join him but he declined his offer, she was seen afterwards to fall down to the floor dead after he had drained her. Bill decides not to complete the transition to become a vampire and dies while still in transition.

The Originals (excluding Finn)
Klaus was lured outside by a flirtatious Caroline so Alaric could dagger Kol, which neutralized him and when he did it, it also neutralized Rebekah, Elijah and Finn because of the spell that Esther cast that joined them together as one but this did not neutralize Klaus - he only felt a strange sensation in his chest. This motivated him to go back to look for Kol, it didn't take him long to find him, he pushed Alaric against the wall knocking him out and he pulled the dagger from Kol's chest which revived Kol, Elijah, Rebekah and Finn. Elijah had previously taken Elena and trapped her in the caverns beneath Mystic Falls with Rebekah and told her too keep Elena there and to kill her if Damon and Stefan fail to sever the link between Esther and the Bennett line, he told Stefan and Damon to kill both witches but they devised a way to sever the line in a way that both of them would survive - this spared Bonnie's life but meant that one of them had to turn Abby into a vampire so Esther couldn't draw energy from them. Damon and Stefan did a coin toss to decide who would do the turning. Stefan lost the toss but Damon did the deed as he didn't want the gang to hate Stefan so he fed Abby his blood and snapped her neck which severed the connection that Esther had to them and this also saved the lives of all five Originals and Esther was unable to cast the spell to take away their immortality. Elena's life was also saved and Rebekah let her go as promised by Elijah since the Salvatore's fulfilled his wishes.
7y7y7y 1912 4 - Zachariah Salvatore (flashback), Unnamed Girl (flashback), Marianna Lockwood (flashback), Samantha Gilbert (mentioned) (flashback) 3 - Alaric (off-screen), Girl in Alley, Samantha Gilbert (mentioned) (flashback). Samantha Gilbert
In the previous episode it shows Alaric being shot by Meredith, which renders him unconscious. Off-screen she heals him with vampire blood to save his life and he wakes up in a jail cell. In a flashback to 1912 it shows that Damon and Stefan's nephew Zachariah Salvatore is stabbed in the back by the 1912 Serial Killer. In another flashback to 1912 Damon is seen feeding off an unnamed girl whom he kills, he is approached by Sage who criticises his hunting and feeding techniques. Back in the present day Damon tries to persuade Stefan to drink human blood as he hasn't drunk blood since he threatened to drive Elena off of Wickery Bridge, so Damon, accompanied by Rebekah, compels a girl in an alleyway. He proceeds to feed from her and the smell of the blood tempts Stefan. Damon threatens to give the girl to Rebekah whom he says will certainly kill her or Stefan can take a drink to save the girl's life. Rebekah goes in for the kill but Stefan stops her and drinks from the girl. Damon pulls Stefan off of the girl and feeds her his blood to save her life. A flashback happens to the last time that Damon persuaded Stefan to drink Human blood. He is shown to be feeding off of Marianna Lockwood and he bites her so hard and fiercely that he decapitates her with just his fangs and snaps her head clean off. He then freaks out and becomes overwhelmed with guilt and disgust, repeatedly apologizing to Marianna's corpse and manically trying to put her head back on her body. Back to the present day and it is discovered through the Gilbert Journal found in Meredith's closet that Samantha Gilbert had gone crazy and that she was responsible for the 1912 murders. Damon recalls killing her so he comes to the conclusion that she must have been in possession of a Gilbert Ring as it was responsible for her becoming the 1912 Serial Killer as a consequence of her being resurrected through it. Damon surmised that it must had revived her after he had killed her, as the journal also said that she lived out the rest of her days in a mental asylum after Damon had killed her, this confirmed that the modern day serial killer was indeed Alaric as he had repeatedly been killed and revived. A final flashback showed that is was indeed Samantha Gilbert who had killed Zachariah Salvatore and it showed her wearing the Gilbert Ring.

Caroline later healed him by giving him her blood (off-screen). Later back in her house Elena is met by Alaric who is coming down the stairs, he is nursing a wound on his hand, he made up the excuse that he cut it on a broken coffee cup, Alaric then noticed a bloody knife or the floor. Elena looked down and saw the knife and Alaric lunged for her, Stefan appeared and restrained him and then placed the sleeper hold on him which rendered him unconscious. He saved Elena from Alaric as he would have surely killed her. Stefan smelled Meredith's blood and him and Elena went upstairs and found Meredith in the bathroom. The bathroom was covered in blood and Meredith was crumpled in a bloody heap on the floor, Alaric had stabbed her and she was near death.

Damon who had been tortured by Rebekah as revenge for sleeping with her to gain information was saved by Stefan who took most of the White Oak Stakes to Klaus' Mansion to bargain for his brother's life. Klaus and Rebekah figured out that there was indeed more stakes out there. Rebekah then proceeded to release Stefan on a sign of good faith that the stakes would indeed be returned to them, she trusted the Salvatores.
