Thanks to the awesomeness that is Netflix I finally caught the vampire episode of Animal Planet’s Lost Tapes.

…it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. Death Valley is a new mockumentary brought to us via MTV. This show is like Cops, or rather, like Reno 911 since it’s a fake cop show. However, this comedy is a little different than Reno 911 for the cops of Death Valley deal with vampires, werewolves …
