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

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
