What We Do In The Shadows: Where Mockumentary and Horror Meet

This is a response to Why Does ‘The Office’ Work?


I consider myself to be both a very big horror fan, as well as a very big comedy fan. Finding the right horror comedy could be a challenge. That was the case until I found the 2014 film, 'What We Do In the Shadows'. I instantly fell in love with the movie because of the craziness and the horror elements. I was even happier to find out that there was a spin-off tv series of the same name.

'What We Do In The Shadows' is a mockumentary in the style of The Office and Parks and Rec. The one thing that sets 'What We Do In The Shadows' from the previously mentioned shows is the fact that it centers around vampires rather than humans. The 'What We Do In The Shadows' tv series follows a group of vampires and their human familiar. The show centers around various antics and situations such as trying to blend in with society, facing the vampire council, and accidentally being sent to animal due to being in bat form

What makes 'What We Do In The Shadows' so fun is that you can enjoy it whether you're a horror lover or a comedy fanatic. You also don't have to be super up-to-date on all the vampire media and lore to understand it or to even like it. Overall, 'What We Do In The Shadows' is a top-tier mockumentary that has to be seen to be believed

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
