16. "The Reluctant Vampire" • "Easel Kill Ya" with Lauren McAllister

Ghouls and boils, welcome back to the mausoleum! This week, we're sinking our teeth into two delightfully dark Tales From The Crypt instalments that explore the terrifying lengths people will go to for the things they love—whether that's securing a steady supply of fresh blood without the mess of murder, or turning macabre, real-life art into a blood-soaked fortune.

And our guest is the co-host of the ⁠1⁠⁠0/10 Would Watch Again⁠ podcast, Lauren McAllister...

When Donald Longtooth (Malcolm McDowell), an unusually compassionate vampire working night shifts at a local blood bank, finds his peaceful supply chain threatened by a blood shortage and a suspicious boss (George Wendt), he must resort to drastic measures to keep his secret—and his appetite—under control.

Struggling artist Jack Lynch (Tim Roth) hits a morbid jackpot when he discovers that paintings depicting gruesome, real-life deaths fetch a massive price tag from a wealthy, eccentric collector (William Atherton), pushing him down a desperate path to find his next shocking subject.
