Vodka and cigarettes might have made you friends in 1941 Romania, but we have something far more valuable. Before we can peek behind the velvet curtain of the Theatre des Vampires, we must first join Louis and Claudia as they cruise the Mediterranean War Theatre. #IWTV.

Real Rashid, as he is now referred to, is played by the incredible @BallyGill_. Bally is an amazingly talented stage actor (Rolin is “partial” to theater people if that’s not already apparent), who has worked extensively with @TheRSC. He even won the Ian Charleson Award, which

We asked Crispin the Crimedawg for any little-known facts about the last episode of the season, but he kept talking about some guy named Sebastian Melmoth? Anyway, it’s time for, as Crispin put it, our “local creole hustler” to enact some sweet revenge before reuniting with his.
