In episode two, “Ghosts,” Nadja leads the roommates in a séance to contact the restless spirit that’s been causing chaos in their home. What We Do in the Shadows has a lot of fun with the idea that certain vampires are skeptical about the existence of ghosts (“Huh. Vampires are real, but ghosts are not?” Guillermo asks. “After years of working for you, a known vampire, I have seen werewolves, necromancers, a zombie, and several Babadooks…but a ghost, that’s where we draw the line?”), but the séance—a mix of dad jokes, poop jokes (Nandor, Colin, Laszlo), and operatic chanting (Nadja)—does indeed prove that there’s always room for yet another supernatural creature on this show.
