In this minisode, Chael tells Tori about the Let the Right One In television show, which is definitely about vampires… but not so much about the book its based on.

Tori had a few audio issues and had to re-record a few bits, which is why there’s some audio weirdness in a few places.

"Sufficiently creepy" is a thing Anderson says that we totally failed to mention in the episode. I guess this is our version of an easter egg. ;)
