Syfy’s ‘Reginald the Vampire’ Created by Harley Peyton, is a horror-comedy set in a world full of beautiful but dangerous vampires, with Reginald Andres at the center of it all. One night, when Reginald meets Maurice, he decides to help him get everything he wants.
However, when Reginald turns into a vampire himself, he must keep his new identity a secret from everyone around him. Meanwhile, he overcomes a series of obstacles in his life by using his new powers.
Making matters even more complicated is that a powerful group of vampires are after Reginald’s life. The vampire-themed show is filled with different comedic elements in each episode, making it fun and light to watch, but also intense at some points.
The dark vampire theme is further complemented by the use of some spooky locations in the background. So it’s natural to wonder where lead actor Jacob Batalon was shooting.
