“Vampire Mob” – He’s a hitman and a vampire, and he just found out his mother-in-law is moving in for eternity.
Don became a vampire because “it was a good fit” for is nocturnal life of crime. He never planned on biting his wife, Annie, and making her immortal, “but then I got hungry.” Annie felt bad that her mom would die one day and bit her, never discussing it with Don, and now mom needs a place to stay and blood to drink. With Don’s hit business slowing down, the last thing he needs is more “grocery shopping.”
Marcia Wallace (The Simpsons, The Bob Newhart Show) is Don’s newly minted vampire mother-in-law, Virginia, and one of her daughters Laura is are played by Kirsten Vangsness (Criminal Minds). Chris Mulkey (Twin Peaks. Friday Night Lights) who will be seen in HBO’s upcoming “Boardwalk Empire” appears in ‘Vampire Mob” as the owner of Marty Five’s Castle & New Life Organic Dispensary.
