Here at\u00a0Pop Culture Spin<\/i>\u00a0we refuse to accept that Halloween is only one day. We\u2019re going to be celebrating Halloween all month, by highlighting one of our favorite Halloween episodes every day. Today\u2019s we\u2019re looking at the Key & Peele<\/em> episode “Sexy Vampires.”<\/p>\n

Basic Info<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where to Watch It: Hulu<\/p>\n

Why It’s Great<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Key & Peele<\/em> Halloween special plays with different types of horror tropes. There’s a sketch about bros who are completely oblivious to their roommate being a poltergeist, a normal vampire who’s not into sexy goth vampire culture (“I got bit on purpose so I could live forever and see future cars”), tension between extras on a Walking Dead<\/em> type of show, a Saw<\/em> parody about relentlessly positive victims (“That’s a great saw. I’m a home improvement guy, I know my saws, and if you’re gonna saw off legs, that’s the one”) and \u00a0a truly, wonderfully bizarre sketch that doesn’t reveal itself to be a horror movie parody until the final beat.<\/p>\n

It also has great guest stars like Milana Vayntrub (Other Space<\/em>), Marc Evan Jackson (Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/em>) and David Giuntoli (Grimm<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Why It’s Full of Halloween Spirit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Key and Peele clearly love horror movies while also keeping it real. It’s great how the show looks at horror from every angle, always keeping it light. (“Frankenstein could just throw his dick at a bitch”).<\/p>\n

Although everything is built around the horror genre, it doesn’t stick to straight parody and there’s something for everyone. If you don’t smile during the “continental breakfast” sketch, you might be dead inside.<\/p>\n

Costume Count<\/strong><\/p>\n

My one grievance with this show is that they refuse to wear costumes in the segments in between sketches during the Halloween episodes. What are you afraid of, guys?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
