Stan Against Evil: Should Denise Go To The Vampire Junior Prom With McLovin?

Published

on

It has been said that every generation gets the vampires they deserve. Do you want Ingrid Pitt in a Hammer film, Tom Cruise in a velvet cape, or Robert Pattison in high school? For Denise, it’s the latter.

Episode 6 of season 3 takes us to the titular “Vampire Creek,” a teen soap with fangs that both Denise and Evie are binging. In it, vampire Zack (special guest Christopher Mintz-Plasse) plays a romantic bloodsucker pining for his love. Stan interrupts their viewing party, only to himself be interrupted by the delivery of a package for Denise. She’s won a slashfic contest, and her prize-winning story title as well the ensuing explanation of slashfic to Evie are highlights of the episode. Her trophy is a large antique mirror, Nothing suspicious there.

From here, the episode picks up speed as the cursed mirror transports Denise into the world of Vampire Creek, where Zack wants her to choose immortality as a vampire by his side. She asks for a trial period and agrees to attend Vampire Junior Prom with Zack. Stan, Evie, and Kevin follow her into the mirror, and we’re treated to vampire versions our heroes. We also get a real gem of a vomit/hangover scene as Vampire Evie gets drunk on blood punch at Vampire Junior Prom.

I’m just going to try and type Vampire Junior Prom as often as I can, because the entire idea of it is funny to me. Watching drunk Vampire Evie mock the other undead (“Bart? Your name sounds like Fart”) was priceless, but even better was Zack in his attempts to navigate the wilds of Denise’s heart. She’s clearly weirder than he banked on, and it’s great seeing her from an outsider’s perspective.

The interplay between the main cast was quick, and the jokes went to the back corners of the scenes, quite literally – the “I’m Homeless – Change My Mind” sign a character holds in the background of a transition scene cracked me up. The episode is full of little gags. I especially loved Vampire Evie’s jealousy toward Denise in the mirror world, as Zack courts Denise.

While I’m not a Twilight fan, I did appreciate the sparkling deaths of the vamps this episode.

Generally, I’m most excited to see “season arc” episodes, and am glad to see us further the Haurus, Duquette, or Eccles plotlines each week. These standalone episodes, however, take great advantage of the show’s “magic-evil” framework to drop straight into absurdly fun stories. Vampire Creek is a perfect example, using the Stan Against Evil set up to deliver a great riff on vampires and teen drama all at once. Somebody better tell Fart!

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
