00:02Hi, I'm Sarah, I'm Emily, and for the next two days we have to transform into vampires.
00:09I'm very excited to dress like a vampire, dressing capes and fangs and who knows what else.
00:14I hope to rise to the challenge.
00:17I think it's going to be challenging for me because I love color, so no pink.
00:23All black, all the time.
00:26Italian grandparents and no garlic for a couple days is going to be really sad.
00:31My grandma's going to be very bad.
00:32So what if I said you can't use garlic?
00:33We're going to have double garlic then.
00:35We cannot look at ourselves in the mirror or any reflections of any kind, so we have to help each
00:41other.
00:42Time to hit the street.
00:45Vampires aren't allowed to be in direct sunlight, so we have to wear lots of sunscreen.
00:49Ah, it's so bright!
00:55Vampires only drink blood.
00:57I'm probably going to just drink all weekend.
00:59Like red things.
01:00Lots of Gatorade.
01:01Cheers!
01:04Vampires can only enter buildings when they're invited in.
01:09Oh, yeah.
01:09Hi.
01:09There's the mall.
01:10Oh, well, you have to invite me in.
01:11Can I come in?
01:13Wait!
01:14Vampires sleep in coffins.
01:16I have a friend of mine who happened to have a croc coffin.
01:23Goodnight.
01:23Follow us along for the next two days as we transform into our vampiest selves.
01:30The challenge is commenced.
01:32Yes!
01:35Good evening.
01:36I'm here in my turtleneck, just to eliminate any biting temptation.
01:44I tried to bite Paul.
01:45A couple times, yeah.
01:47I am nervous to get ready for work.
01:51Normally, I just wear leggings and a sweatshirt, so they're going to be confused.
01:57Yeah, I'm pretty exhausted today.
01:59Turns out coffins really are not an ideal resting place.
02:03I've bought water drops, so I have my red water.
02:07I have my dead shirt.
02:09I'm slab and SPF.
02:11And I think I'm ready to go see what my people at work think.
02:17Doors are open.
02:17I guess that's an invitation.
02:29My one coworker, Sonia, just came in, so I have my teeth.
02:35I'm going to put them in and we're going to see what she thinks about my look for work today.
02:39Why the hell are you wearing that?
02:41Do you like my outfit?
02:44You look pretty.
02:45Oh, do I?
02:46You look pretty weird.
02:49I frequently will coach other improv teams.
02:53I'm hoping that they're cool with me being a vampire.
02:57May I come in?
02:59I'm so sorry.
03:00That is a mirror.
03:03I can't work in these conditions.
03:06Are you all right?
03:07Are you okay?
03:07No, I'm really not.
03:10Practice is canceled.
03:15So my grandma just got home from the market and she's starting to make dinner.
03:19And I think she's making Italian sausage, peppers, and onions with pasta.
03:23So I'm about to go tell her that she can't use garlic.
03:26She's not going to be happy about it.
03:28I know vampires are known to be just irresistibly sexy.
03:34And I have to be really, you know, cautious about that.
03:39So what if I said you can't use garlic?
03:41Oh no, lots of garlic.
03:42I always cook with garlic.
03:43But I can't have garlic.
03:44I don't...
03:46We're going to have double garlic then.
03:48I guess I'm having dinner somewhere else.
03:57Today was a lot more draining than I thought it would be.
04:02People were definitely giving me looks throughout the day.
04:04I was expecting it to be really embarrassing to be running around New York City dressed as a vampire.
04:10But I'm finding that most New Yorkers are surprisingly accepting.
04:13Overall, dealing with that and then coming to my grandparents and having to kind of explain things to them.
04:20It was just a long day, I think.
04:22I'm just tired.
04:23Last day, I'm seeing my best friend today.
04:26And I obviously have put no effort into how I look.
04:29So she's going to help me get ready for the day.
04:31I'm leaning into it.
04:33I'm wearing leather.
04:35You see?
04:37I really feel like I'm, you know, one of the undead.
04:44And some of that is because my blood sugar level is dangerously low.
04:48I am very hungry.
04:50Really trying to keep calm.
04:55But I would like some food.
04:58So it's a very sunny day in my hometown.
05:01I walk down to my friend's house.
05:03I have my handy dandy umbrella to block this sun.
05:06I've never realized how many people's houses I just walk into until you can't just walk into them anymore.
05:11This is the vessel.
05:14It's an architectural triumph in New York City.
05:18That I am visiting today.
05:20As every vampire should.
05:27Can you let me in?
05:29Hi.
05:29Hi.
05:30There's the mall.
05:31Oh, well, you have to invite me in.
05:32Can I come in?
05:34I don't really think I want a vampire in my house.
05:37But...
05:37Can...
05:38I...
05:39Wait!
05:40Can I have your health blood?
05:43Your...
05:43The...
05:46The...
05:47The Howard blood?
05:48So, um, Hannah's going for like an Edward Cullen Twilight vampire look with this like very shimmery in your face.
05:55Maybe just tone it down a little.
05:56It's like a little Tin Man versus Edward Cullen.
06:00I like this sparkly vampire look.
06:02Hey!
06:03Hey!
06:03I'm home!
06:05Cool, welcome home.
06:06Thanks.
06:06Wait, don't you have to be invited inside?
06:08Is that the rule?
06:09I'ma bite you.
06:10No!
06:11Yeah!
06:12So we're going to McDonald's and I'm parched.
06:17So I'm gonna ask the drive-through if they have blood.
06:21They were very confused, but sticking with the red theme, I got a fruit punch.
06:25So, cheers.
06:27It's not easy being a vampire.
06:30I'm living a blood life.
06:32Time for me to have my final...
06:34My final rest!
06:39This whole challenge was way more out of my comfort zone than I expected it to be.
06:46And I didn't realize that I was so apprehensive of seeing people like stare at me on the street being
06:51a total weirdo.
06:52So, not eating garlic, hard.
06:55It was absolutely a ridiculous challenge, but it was also really fun.
07:03I feel like it allowed me to have a lot of conversations with strangers that I wouldn't have otherwise.
07:10For me, that was worth its weight in gold.
07:13Wouldn't do it again.
07:14I like garlic and sleep too much.
07:16And the sun.
07:17But, definitely a fun experience.
07:19The coffin sleeping and the blood, not so great.
07:23But, everything else is a fun challenge.
