What We Do in the Shadows Season 3: What is an Energy Vampire Anyway?

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains spoilers for What We Do in the Shadows season 3’s first two episodes. Boredom, tedious, tiresome, flat. These are not the first words which jump to mind when thinking of vampires or comedy, but What We Do in the Shadows wields them like secret weapons without sacrificing a single laugh or scare. The FX horror farce, which is a series adaptation of the 2014 feature film created by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, follows four vampires. They have been roommates since, well, forever, but one is different from the rest. Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak), Nadja of…

What We Do in the Shadows: Colin Robinson Steals Our Energy Through the TV

New DVD release, , , , ,
“Hopefully I am defining what an actual energy vampire is instead of someone on the outer edges of society,” says Mark Proksch, who plays the life force gourmand on FX’s What We Do in the Shadows. The actor who plays that Dilbert-looking guy who shares a house on Staten Island with a liquid-diet trio tells Den of Geek about the many challenges and bonuses to being an energy vampire.
