Okay, people, gather 'round! Let's dish about the latest episode of What We Do In The Shadows, because, let's be honest, it was a total scream (pun absolutely intended!). Episode 9, you guys, was like a perfectly brewed potion of chaotic hilarity and heartwarming moments – with a sprinkle of vampire shenanigans, naturally.
The Curse of the Antique Shop
This episode centered around the gang stumbling upon, get this, an antique shop! I know, right? What could possibly go wrong? Turns out, everything. Apparently, they picked up a cursed clerical collar.
Nadja, bless her dark little soul, gets possessed by the spirit of a particularly clingy and annoying Victorian priest. Imagine your most irritating great-aunt… now imagine her possessing a centuries-old vampire. It's like Thanksgiving dinner gone horribly, hilariously wrong!
Nandor's Eternal Struggle
Meanwhile, our favorite ancient warrior, Nandor the Relentless, is still pining for his million and one deceased wives. He is on a quest for love that would make even the most dedicated dating app user throw in the towel. Seriously, Nandor, maybe try pottery classes?
This episode saw him delve further into his attempt to resurrect one of his wives. It's a doomed idea, obviously, but the commitment is admirable, right? Or maybe just sad. But mostly hilarious.
Laszlo's Unexpected Hobby
Lazslo, our resident dirty old man, is doing something completely unexpected. He decided to help the child, Colin Robinson reborn. This is probably the most surprising, yet heartwarming event in the episode.
Laszlo is like a gruff teddy bear, and you can tell that he cares deeply about little Colin Robinson. It's so sweet. This episode provides the best proof.
Colin Robinson's Growing Pains
Speaking of Colin Robinson, well, he's a kid again! Growing up is never easy, especially when you used to be an energy vampire. I mean, imagine going from draining people with boring conversations to, like, just wanting cookies and watching cartoons?
He's testing boundaries, getting into mischief, and generally being a tiny, adorable ball of chaotic energy. It's like watching a toddler learn about the world, except that toddler used to be a soul-sucking creature of the night. The learning process is a great source of comedy.
The Hilarious Highlights
Honestly, the entire episode was gold, but a few moments really stood out. Nadja speaking with a ridiculous Victorian accent while possessed? Priceless. Laszlo trying to teach young Colin Robinson how to be a proper gentleman? Comedy genius. And Guillermo just trying to keep everyone from accidentally setting the house on fire? A relatable mood, honestly.
The writing is so sharp, the performances are spot-on, and the whole show just oozes a kind of goofy charm that's impossible to resist.
What We Do In The Shadows continues to be a highlight of television. It's the perfect mix of silly, spooky, and surprisingly sweet. If you need a good laugh, this is your show. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go re-watch the episode again. For research purposes, of course!
