What We Do In The Shadows Music Season 3
Okay, folks, let's talk What We Do in the Shadows. Season 3, specifically. Prepare yourselves, because I have some thoughts. Maybe even some slightly controversial ones.
The Music: Underrated Gem?
We all love the show for the vampires, right? Nadja's sass, Laszlo's… everything, Nandor's eternal search for love (and Guillermo!), and Colin Robinson's energy-sucking abilities. But what about the music?
Seriously, the soundtrack to Season 3 deserves more love. It's quirky, it's weird, and it totally sets the mood.
Must Read
Not Just Creepy Organ Music
Sure, there's the classic spooky stuff. The organ music when they enter the Vampiric Council is spot on. It gives you those chills!
But that's not all! The show throws in some real musical curveballs. Remember the wellness retreat episode?
The breezy, almost-too-chill music juxtaposed with the vampires struggling in the sunlight? Comedy gold!
The Forgotten Bangers
Let's be real. Nobody is making "What We Do in the Shadows Season 3 Soundtrack" playlists. And maybe they should!
I'm not saying every song is a chart-topper. But there are some serious bangers hidden in those episodes. Listen closely, and you'll hear them.
Think about the background music during the fight scenes. Is it operatic? Is it 80's glam rock? Sometimes both! It's wonderfully absurd.
My Hot Take: Music Adds to the Comedy
Here's where I might lose some of you. I think the music enhances the comedy in Season 3.
It's not just background noise. It's another layer of the joke. It amplifies the awkwardness, the ridiculousness, the sheer vampire-ness of it all.
That's because the music knows how to be irreverent. It doesn't take itself too seriously, just like the vampires.
Guillermo's Theme Song (In My Head)
Okay, this isn't actually in the show. But Guillermo deserves a theme song. A heroic, but slightly clumsy theme song.
Maybe something with a little bit of a flamenco flair? A nod to his heritage? I'm just spitballing here!
Seriously, someone get on that! Guillermo's journey is important.
Beyond the Obvious: Sound Design!
Let's not forget about the sound effects! The flapping of Nandor's cape. The hiss of a vampire burning in the sun. The thud of Colin Robinson draining someone's energy.
These sounds are so important. They bring the world of What We Do in the Shadows to life.
Sound designers are unsung heroes, and I'm here to sing their praises (slightly off-key, probably).
So, Give It a Listen!
Next time you're rewatching Season 3 (and you are rewatching it, right?), pay attention to the music. Really listen.
You might be surprised by what you hear. You might even find yourself humming along to some of those weird little tunes.
And who knows? Maybe, just maybe, you'll agree with my "unpopular" opinion: that the music in What We Do in the Shadows Season 3 is a hidden gem.
Now go forth and listen...carefully!
