What is What We Do in the Shadows?

The Baron orders them to open a vampire nightclub in Manhattan to lure victims. They buy a failing club, but modern EDM scares off prey. Laszlo insists on harpsichord music. Nadja’s folk dancing repels humans. Guillermo suggests a blood-themed bar, which becomes a hit among goths. The Baron is impressed but demands more human sacrifices.
