What We Do In The Shadows Vampire Council
Okay, picture this: a bunch of ancient vampires, some older than sliced bread, squabbling over… paperwork? That’s the Vampire Council from What We Do in the Shadows in a nutshell. It's not all blood and brooding, folks.
What Exactly IS the Vampire Council?
Basically, it's like the United Nations, but for the undead. Instead of world peace, they mostly deal with vampire law, which, surprisingly, exists. Think parking tickets for flying without a permit, or maybe noise complaints about too much coffin-slamming.
These meetings happen, usually in some creepy old building filled with cobwebs. Imagine walking in and seeing Armand, the oldest vampire on the planet, arguing about the proper way to dispose of a familiar!

The Council's Oddball Roster
The best part? The members. You've got vamps from every era, each with their own bizarre quirks. One might be obsessed with Victorian etiquette. Another might think disco is still cool.
They're all stuck together, trying to govern a community that mostly ignores them anyway. It's a recipe for hilarious disaster.
And then there are the celebrity cameos! The show loves to throw in famous faces as members of the council. Seeing actors playing vampires is always a treat.
When Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo and Colin Robinson Meet The Council
Our favorite Staten Island vampires usually get dragged into these council meetings. Let’s be honest, they aren't exactly the most law-abiding citizens of the vampire world.
Their interactions with the council are always gold. Think Nandor trying to impress everyone with his (often exaggerated) heroic tales. Or Nadja rolling her eyes at the council's outdated rules. It's comedic genius.
Laszlo, of course, usually tries to charm his way out of any trouble. Colin Robinson? He just feeds off the boredom of the meetings. He is an energy vampire after all.
Unexpectedly Heartwarming Moments
Believe it or not, sometimes the Vampire Council reveals a softer side. Occasionally they show glimmers of caring, even mentorship toward younger (or just more clueless) vampires.
Imagine a thousand-year-old vampire giving Nandor dating advice! The juxtaposition of ancient power and mundane problems is what makes the show so special.
At its core, What We Do in the Shadows is about community. Even amongst the undead. The Vampire Council, in all its absurdity, is a reminder that everyone needs rules, even if they're hilariously enforced.
Why The Vampire Council Matters (In a Funny Way)
The Council isn't just there for laughs (though it delivers plenty). It's a clever way to explore themes of tradition versus change. It also pokes fun at bureaucracy and the struggles of maintaining order.
So, next time you see the Vampire Council on screen, remember it's more than just a bunch of bloodsuckers in fancy outfits. It's a reflection of ourselves, with all our quirks and foibles, just a little bit… undead.
Ultimately,
the Vampire Council highlights the show's brilliance: taking the supernatural and making it ridiculously relatable.
