SERIES PREMIERE
10/9c
Vampires are all the rage, with the steamy bloodsuckers of AMC’s Anne Rice’s
Interview with the Vampire about to be joined on Sundays by the ageless teenage vampire in Showtime’s adaptation of
Let the Right One In (Oct. 9). For a change of pace and more comical tone, meet Reginald Andres (Jacob Batalon from the ]i]Spider Man[/i] franchise), a born loser in a dead-end job at a Slushy Shack in Akron, Ohio who gets taken under the wing of dashing vampire Maurice (Mandela Van Peebles). A moment of spellbinding confidence-boosting goes awry when Reginald is turned immortal with a new appetite for blood. “I’m like this forever?” he gripes, only to be wryly informed by his maker, “Being a fat vampire, that’s gonna cause some problems within the vampire community.” Based on Johnny B. Truant’s Fat Vampire book series.
