Even Vampires Fear This Monster
17 February 2024
Driving the way of X-Files, Buffy and her crew encounter a rather gruesome predator... the substitute teacher! Besides teaching, she also has a terrible beguiling power held in secrecy. Throw into the mix a tale of desire and temptation, the suspense action goes into mad slashing by the end.

At first, the far-fetched tale seemed to leave an obvious concern about the villain unaddressed, but in a twist, the baddie's subterfuge was actually reasonably planned out. A credit to the writing there, certainly the full cast sell this weird idea while viewing. Granted our monster looks like the creature walked off of a 1950's B-movie set, but with adequate directing and low lighting, reasonably compensated for the budget costume. I actually found the human substitute teacher more terrifying with deception.
