is a comedy horror franchise that explores the mundane, awkward daily lives of vampire roommates through a "mockumentary" lens. Created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, the series satirizes traditional vampire tropes by placing ancient, supernatural beings in the middle of modern society, where they struggle with basic tasks like paying rent, using the internet, or maintaining household chore wheels. The franchise consists of two primary versions:
Set in Wellington, New Zealand, the movie follows four vampire flatmates (Viago, Vladislav, Deacon, and Petyr) as they navigate the local nightlife and deal with a new, clumsy fledgling vampire.
Both versions use a "vérité" camera crew that follows the vampires, often catching them in embarrassing or highly un-intimidating moments.
Set in Staten Island, New York, the show follows a new coven consisting of Nandor the Relentless, Laszlo Cravensworth, Nadja of Antipaxos, and Colin Robinson—an "energy vampire" who feeds by boring people to death. They are accompanied by their loyal human familiar, Guillermo de la Cruz. Key Themes and Style
Despite their age and powers, the roommates operate like a bickering, codependent family that rarely experiences actual personal growth.
