    Season 3 also has plenty of highlights. If you only watch one episode, make it the series standout "Carrion Death", but here are my other faves: Abra Cadaver Top Billing The Reluctant Vampire Undertaking Palor Mournin' Mess Split Second* Yellow *One of my favorite endings #TalesFromTheCrypt

    Thank you @papawoof.bsky.social for picking this movie to feature. This movie deserves to be seen and be loved. I love the middle segment, such a clever take on vampires. This segment reminds me of The Reluctant Vampire from Tales from the Crypt (tv series) #FFBMovieNight #FrightClub

    Just finished watching The Reluctant Vampire - what an absolute delight of a comedy, enough daft moments balanced out by some moments that are brilliant pay offs throughout the series. Blinding cast, brilliant writing & superb final episode pay off. 10/10 #sitcomsky #reluctantvampire #bbc

    I think it might have been a bot reply. He seems to be writing something about a current BBC show called the Reluctant Vampire. I looked at his activity and it was all replying to people mentioning the show and asking if they could quote them or something.

    Some Season 3 fun facts: the season finale "Yellow" was part of a backdoor pilot for another EC imprint show, TWO-FISTED TALES, hosted by TFTC icon William Sadler! Also, the character name Donald Longtooth from "The Reluctant Vampire" became a pseudonym for writers on the show. #TalesFromTheCrypt

    sadly facing huge cuts despite history showing comedy can bring audiences to C4 and now streamers eg Friday Night Dinner, Peep Show. Perkins, along with SNL and Boffola & BBC Studios (Ann Droid, The Reluctant Vampire) creating new British comedy boom & they all deserve support

    While Scooby Doo isnt nessecarily scary, watching it a young age was kind of my intro to horror and some of the specials did get a fright out of me, such as Legend Of The Vampire, but I didn't like the Reluctant Vampire/13 Ghosts series cause of the werewolf stuff, forced transformations scared me
