Created by Harley Peyton, Syfy’s ‘Reginald the Vampire’ is a horror comedy series set in a world full of beautiful yet dangerous vampires, where Reginald Andres is at the center of it all. One night, when Reginald meets Maurice, the latter decides to help him get all that he desires. However, when Reginald turns into a vampire himself, he must keep his new identity a secret from everyone around him. In the meanwhile, he goes through a number of obstacles in his life by tapping into his new abilities.
What makes things even more complicated is that a powerful group of vampires are after Reginald’s life. The vampire-themed show is filled with various comedic elements through each episode, making it a fun and light watch but also intense at some points.
