This is one of those universes i feel like being a vampire wouldn't be so bad , of course you'll have the standard vampire powers but also most vampires in this universe are pretty cool to be around and they funny too ( except Colin) and besides the obvious having to kill people for their blood and all 😂

Is it possible that *The Sire* was never human to begin with? The oldest vampire myth comes from Mesopotamia. However, their vampires weren't humans transformed by a curse or virus. Their vampires were inhuman demons, called Rabisu or Rabasa.

I love the part where Nandor throws the dog toy over the edge of the building and the werewolf jumps after it, to his death. Brilliant bit of comedy.

4:24 it’s probably safe to assume that this is a myth. In the film Peter was burnt to a crispy skeleton, but both Deacon and Nick, who were both turned by him, have yet to kick the bucket forever.

werewolves and vampires have mythologically the same origin (at least slavic ones) so thats probably why theyre both weak to silver. in fact im pretty sure mythologically the reason why vampires cant see their reflection is because old timey mirrors were made with polished silver

I feel that as they age, since they have transfiguration they just give less of a care about looking human and go further into their more “default” monster form. Like they care less about hiding since they are board and haven’t be caught yet. Perhaps if Peter really wanted to he probably could look more human with his powers. It’s like the freshman dressing up to got to a party vs the senior that shows up in a hoodie and sweat pants.

I never got the impression that Petyr couldn't speak. Only that he chose not to. Deacon specifically mentions that Petyr screeched, "NOW, YOU ARE VAMPIRE" after turning him.

My theory about energy vampires is that they're like batteries. As long as they have energy, they're basically immune to everything but when they run out, they'd probably have the same weaknesses as normal vampires. As for the phoenix like resurrections, that sounds pretty cool. I think Colin though is unique in that he can recover his original personality though, through his journals or maybe the original personality is always there and his journals are able to make it resurface.

Tilda Swintons vampire role was as Eve in Only Lovers Left Alive. In Constantine she was the angel Gabriel. Loved the videos! 👍

Also, if you didn't know, this is based off their 2005 short film under the same name but with the tag line 'Interview with some vampires' same cast but they're in their late 20s it's really worth a watch 😂

Sooner than later, you’ll be the top channel that covers vampires, werwolf, and other supernatural topics. This type of channel is not oversaturated and the way you present every detail is spot-on and intriguing. Kudos Cogan

My theory on Collin is that after he was reborn and read his diaries, he DOES remember being an annoying child but pretends like he doesn’t just to annoy and feed off everyone who had to take care of him

"Everyone focuses on the day part of daywalker, but they always forget about the walking part" -Collin Robinson

The time it takes to transform into a vampire seems to vary widely and I think it depends on if you are dead or dying when turned, or not. Nick and Jenna both took days or weeks. Nandor's werewolf girlfriend turned in an instant. Laszlo died under Nadja's attack before he could... finish... and presumably turned before he awoke. Derek says he turned in 6-8 hours. So apparently it depends!

Speaking of chinese vampires (Jiangshi) you should check out the Mr. Vampire series. Its a classic to any asian kid that grew up intreseted in vampire. Its also a very niche group of vampires in America. Id love to see you cover them.

I think we've all met an energy vampire or two. Some of us have even been an energy vampire once in a while~!

It's like vampire the masquerade the sitcom 😂 You should do a video of the vampires and creatures of the Sanctuary TV show. Or the supernaturals of the lost girl series.

Great video, mate. As far as vampire sense of smell, I do recall them acting like the scent of werewolves was very annoying, so I imagine that it too is increased. Also Peter from the original film was my fav. But Colin from the series is also.

There's another show set in the WWDITS universe called "Wellington Paranormal" where the two police officers from the movie investigate, well... Paranormal happenings around Wellington. It actually introduces a few more types of paranormal creatures such as fungal aliens, poltergeists, ghost cars, taniwha and Satan himself.

Collin did remember the past year. He just used Laszlo's sorrow as an energy draining tactic.

The other thing that I've wondered with WWDitS is I genuinely think it's not just a comedy, I think the vampire curse is sending them mad. It errodes their grasp of reality. Maybe it's being dead or having no soul but it's like they can't quite see the world as it is in front of them. Like the side effects of hypnosis but on themselves.

If you haven't seen it yet, Shadow of the Vampire is an amazing movie. The lead is played by Willem Dafoe, and he is excellent in the part. It's basically a making of the first vampire movie Nosferatu. And I really like What We Do in the Shadows, I think that I saw the movie, but it's been a while, and I would love to see the series, it looks funny.

Love to hear your take on some of the different entities (including vampires) that show up in Wellington Paranormal. It's based in the same universe as What We Do In The Shadows and include characters from it.

I feel somehow reminded of 'Vampire: the Masquerade'. But the differences intrique me :D

I think the vampires from Evil West would be cool to myself.

I made the mistake of watching the series with a couple friends of mine...when they got to the Vampiric Council episode they became confused by most of the members because some of the movies they were in weren't as well-known, and I had the dubious "honor" of having to explain them (e.g. Tilda Swinton from Only Lovers Left Alive, Danny Trejo from From Dusk 'til Dawn, etc.).

Have you ever read any of the Necroscope books? Those vampires would be interesting to look into.

13:46 Not a vampire named Tilda, that's actually Tilda Swinton. This is a documentary after all lol

I love they consider Wesley Snipes to be the daywalker and actively exclude him on their plans.

They disprove the bloodline theory in the movie: Peter is killed but Deacon and Nick both survive to carry on. I mean, the Staten Island vamps may not know that as the New Zealand vampires may have kept that much a secret.

Tilda was great in "Only lovers left alive" I can't recomend enough this film❤

Awesome, glad you finally checked this out. I recently just watched a video where you mentioned not having seen this yet and since I found your channel and got the whole vibe I figured you'd probably love it. The movie and series are just one huge reference and love letter to vampires in fiction performed by some seriously talented writers and comedians. With surprisingly deep lore for a comedy property.

It's a rather fatal misconception to assume that snake "charming" makes you immune to snake venom. Surprise! It does not.

Its probably been said, but in the movie deacon probably snuck into the backpack when he was transformed into a bat, and simply turned back a bit later.

I like to think energy vampires aren't vampires at all, at least not the same kind of species or creature as each other despite their similarities. Like how apparentally Jellyfish and Comb Jellies look the same but aren't as related as we think.

I'd love to see more videos about this universe. And while I'd prefer to be a vampire in this universe I do love the werewolves (not swear wolves). And another note, they absolutely rocked the cameos

What confused me is that when petyr died, deacon was fine but in the show they said if the sire (the first vampire) dies all vampires die cause if the one who turned you dies you die. So which is true? IDK love this show and the content btw dude

5:40 The reason vampires appear in (digital) photos and videos but not mirrors is because mirrors use a thin layer of silver behind glass to reflect. Of course, this raises the question of why old photos and film of vampires exist and are shown in the credits, but presumably this is because old photo/film development methods used silver *salts*, not elemental silver. 6:15 oh, and maybe the fact that feeding on blood reverts the vampire to their normal age was why Countess Bathory bathed in blood. Feeding in blood can only make you as young as you were when you were turned, but maybe that wasn't enough for her, so she tried everything she could think of.

metals like silver and gold are sometimes considered holy metals which is why vampires and Lycan are weak to them, and where the lack of reflections originates from ( old mirrors were made with silver so if vampires existed now a day they would actually have reflections as mirrors are no longer made with silver)

Narrator is an energy vampire. Well played.

Tilda's vampire character is from the movie 'Only Lovers Left Alive' which is also a great vampire movie. Don't expect much in the sense of action though, it's very much a slice of 'un'life.

this was a great video, I hadn’t noticed the detail about Colin in the mirror. You missed the bit about how vampires can super slumber when things get difficult, and sleep for 200 or 300 years

New lore detail according to last night's episode: if the sire of a vampire is killed, that vampire will turn human again and the time they lost while undead will catch up to them. For a young vampire like Guillermo, this doesn't have many consequences, but for vampires that have been alive for centuries, this presumably will kill them due to rapid aging

I haven't watched the show yet, but from the movie, I basically got the impression that this universe is "what if VLARPers were actually vampires".

The character Tilda is playing is not her role as the Angel Gabriel in Constantine. She played a vampire in amazing movie called Only Lovers Left Alive…Her and Tom Hiddleson place two vampires she plays Eve he plays Adam and they are ancient lovers..It’s a fantastic vampire movie, both are amazing in it, Tilda was meant to play vampire and is so good in it. That’s why she is head of the council they even have her hair styled just like Eve was in the movie…

Latest Ep as of posting introduced the Supreme Council of Energy Vampires. The episode before that showed Guillermo as a half-vampire(?) growing bat wings out of his back and showed that his sweat can be turned into sunscreen that will let vampires walk in the sun and only receive a horrible sunburn instead of dying. Also, some vampires can fly into outer space

You should do (Lost Girl) it’s a great show

I love the episode of the vampire council and its so many actors who have played vampires it's brilliantly done and hilarious I didn't know that was tilda's idea love it. Love the bit, we are werewolves, not swearwolves 😂. It's a great show and film both are very clever with the lore and mix of humour.

I've been waiting for this one to come out. I love this show and I love this channel. Great vid man

There's also Wellington Paranormal, which is a mockumentary that follows the two New Zealand police officers from the 2014 movie as they follow a monster-a-week episode format. That got 4 seasons before it got put on hiatus, and showcases several more of the supernatural creatures in the shared universe, including demons; aliens; sea monsters; and other creatures not touched upon or only lightly visited in WWDitS.

youre my new vampire yt expert and i love what you do

Another great book series that had a TV show, is The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher which is full of Vampires, Werewolves of many types, etc. There is the Hammer Horror films, with the great Christopher Lee, & Peter Cushing. Also Shadow Hunters, available on both streaming services, DVD & Blu-ray discs.

I was waiting for this video. Thank You Cogan

Another excellent video my 😎 I watched every video on your channel over the last few weeks 😊

LOVE THIS SHOW AND YOUR COVERAGE OF THEM!

Great video! Regarding the various vampire's unique abilities; I do recall in the TV show, when Nadia was explaining being a vampire to Jenna, that all vampires have a special gift, like Nadia is a very good 'crawler' and crawls up the wall.

Your channel is my absolute favourite when it comes to vampires.

ACTUALLY it started in 2005 with the short film that originated the name. The 2014 movie was an extension and remake of the 2005 short film. You don't miss much if you don't see the short film (other than scenes of homophobia expressed towards the main cast which was filmed live in downtown Wellington). But the one thing the short film has that all other versions lack, is the subtitle "An Interview With Some Vampires", the obvious inspiration for the whole franchise, and the funniest joke ever.

The reason why silver hurts monster in supernatural folklore (including fairies, spirits, etc) is the same reason garlic hurts them, it has curative properties ancient alchemist often employed silver powders as a healing agent. In modern times we understand that silver contains antimicrobial properties that promote healing

I loved both the film and televison series. Love this video!

the tv vamps weren’t sentenced to death by sunlight because its the punishment for the worst crimes. if a vampire is found guilty of killing another vampire they are sentenced to death in whatever way it was they carried out their murder. in the show they were found guilty of burning the baron in the sun, so that was their method of death

Love how he referees to Guillermo as Nandors familiar 😭

It cracks me up how the two cops from the movie got their own spin off show lmao

Nice video! Could you do a vampire analysis from Only Lovers Left Alive next ?

What if "old" Vlad is actually his true appearance and most of the time Vlad is using his power to maintain a youthful appearance? Older vampires like Afenas and Peter don't bother anymore or it takes more power as they get older.

I’m so glad What We Do In The Shadows exists. Twilight has officially been dethroned as pop culture’s general consensus of what a vampire is in favour of something fun and modern yet still very traditional and diverse.

Been waiting for this

Ive been waiting for this one

Cogan Lollins, please do the video on the Vampire Henry from the tv series Blood Ties.

Excellent video, loved it! However, Tilda is portraying her character from Jim Jarmusch"s Only Lovers Left Alive not Gabriel from Constantine fyi

Hey Cogan Lollins I really love your dog soldiers werewolves explained video my Request vampire in vampirella comics vampire explained video

Cogan lollins please do the video on the vampires from DC comics

Very well done!

This became my favorite movie from the moment I saw it years ago and it still is my favorite movie.

You should check out the vampires from the 1985 movie Lifeforce. It's a pretty out of this world vampire movie.

First off amazing and wonderful videos and thank you for all your hard work and time ,also it may be just be but you sound like or he sounds like just the ER doctor anywho amazing video

Vampires can’t see there reflection because mirrors used to be backed with silver, they are now backed with aluminum

self-identified vampire biologist here! I've been paying close attention to energy vampires throughout the WWDITS series and have come to a possible conclusion of energy vampires being undead, but not in a sense where they are turned. It is shown that when placed in front of a mirror, an energy vampire will appear like a rotting corpse, much like a traditional vampire in the process of being turned, where their reflection fades slowly though they appear slightly decomposed. Not too many people have noticed this, even though it was shown up front in a Colin episode. It wasn't a one-off gag, but a canonical feature of the psychic vampire species. And a theoretical explanation for why The Sire looks the way he does, as you said vampires appear to change into a more demonic look as they age, this being the case for the sire and Baron, having more demonic features. I believe vampires are evolved offspring of the incubus/succubus demons and humans, as the Staten Island vampires have mentioned that sex is a part of their culture, and with the way these demons are portrayed in mythos and media, it seems to connect well with the vampires from WWDITS. Vampires being evolved forms of demons also plays into the fact that they sizzle and are injured by crucifixes and religious names and imagery (though the vampire Deacon is named after a religious status but I guess that's different). Don't take my word as factual though, these are just theories made by observation and studying the characters and species within the series and movie. I'm just a nerdy teenager with an autistic fixation on the series and vampire mythos

I want so bad to watch this series. The trailers alone get me laughing hard.

Enjoyed your video and subscribed 👍

Damn man, I love this show and you did a great job covering it. You should check out the vampire survival guide, it looks into how to survive if there is a vampire uprising. It looks at vampires much more scientifically.

I was gonna say you should cover vampire the masquerade and all the clans cain and the antidiluvions as they are very ancient and powerful vampires

You should do the vampire diaries

Excellent video and having TW in it makes it awesome 😎

You should've waited for season 5 to wrap up. Now we know that the vampires are aware of what happens when you kill a sire.

I always loved that Tilda is just herself lmao

I love this movie and series, Thanks for covering it! Have you thought about covering Kindred The Embraced or Forever Knight? Both are vampire shows from the 90s. Kindred is based on Vampire The Masquerade.

in this univers there is also trolls, devils, feeries,"sirène", ghost, peupol who can reincarnet, babadook, genies, dogs who breth filer, demonic goat and the Jersey devil existe

we do know that vampires dont die when the one who turned them does, Petyr is said to have turned Deacon in the movie and when he dies Deacon doesn't as well as Petyr turning Nick in the movie 4:20

In the episode where the tv gang throw a party, we see a jiangshi (aka Chinese vampires) and apparently the Babadook are also around in this world, so it seems like there may be a lot of subspecies of vampires.

😍love this show...now I have to watch it all over, AGAIN!!!

Petyr died and he had made two of the characters into vampires and neither of them died so no, killing a vampire does not kill off its entire bloodline.

The film What we do in the shadows is genius, I loved every second of it.

Awesome vid

I remember few months ago recommending you to make a video on this universe. I'm glad you took my recommendations. Because if you're into vampire lore and silly comedy, What We Do In The Shadows is without any doubt the best at that. It's stupidly funny yet the lore is too good. Breaking 4th walls and basically free of any serious vampire laws but they do it in really good funny way. The lore is really awesome, my favourite vampiric lore by far. The movie and series compliment each other. Personally I love the series more. Viaggo, Deacon, Vladislav and Petyr are awesome. But the complete madness of Nandor the banana wins. And Baron Afanas...He's amazing. The mannerisms, body language and all else is perfection. He has that Royal elegant supremacy vibe while being a complete savage. They nailed his looks especially during his entrance. A scarier version of the Unseen Elder (from The Witcher). Energy vampire is a genius creation. We all know or at least have met one of those. Lol.

I love your vids, dude. If u ever decide to start doing aliens, Id recommend a video on The Watch. It’s not too lore heavy but itd be a quick, fun and interesting video. Id recommend Shaun of the Dead as well. I love the serious vids but ones like this series were it’s just a bunch of guys being dudes gets me hype

I love all them so much....especially Nandor and Nadia. Though, I am not loving the blonde chick so much. I thought I hated Colin but then he became the baby and I actually missed his interacting with the others. Also, the older you get, the more energy vampires you meet and the schitck becomes funnier.

This movie & series is on my list since it's right up my alley.

The thing with them not having a reflection in mirrors but being able to be captured in footage is because old mirrors were made with silver, which is commonly associated to be the bane of the unholy and undead.
