*** Actually it makes much more sense for Jerry and his spawn to be [[Classical Movie Vampire|Black Court Vampires]], given that they're effected by many traditional vampire weaknesses, don't really look human in a good light, and are killed via stakes to the heart and sunlight (something their sire, Jerry resists far better than his spawn).
 
== The film takes place somewhere in the [[Thirty30 Days of Night|30 Days Of Night]] verse. ==
Jerry and his spawn fit the vampire model in 30 Days of Night almost perfectly. They're inhumanly strong and super-hard to kill, have fang-filled slasher smiles, and are clearly strong enough to break humans with their bare hands. Both Jerry and Evil Ed had ash-grey skin, and all the vampires have solid black pupils. 30 Days of Night vampires seem like they're a little too strong to get killed by a mere stake, but in fairness, no one in the comic has ever gotten close enough to try. They also share their insane vulnerability to sunlight, as newly created vampires in both works can be ashed by a stray sunbeam in less than a second.
 
== The film takes place in the [[The Dark Tower|Dark Tower universe]], possibly in the continuity of [[SalemsSalem's Lot|'Salem's Lot]]. ==
Jerry is a Type One Vampire, similar to Kurt Barlow from [[SalemsSalem's Lot|'Salem's Lot]]. He has the same powers and vulnerabilities as Kurt, and even reacts to the cross being presented to him faithlessly [[Cross -Melting Aura|in the same way]]. His spawn are Type Two Vampires, with Ed simply being one that retained more personality then usual. Charlie and his friends even have to form a Ka-Tet in order to destroy him permanently, and by his firm hand and calm in the face of danger, Charlie may even have the potential to be a Gunslinger.
** Just for fun, Jerry could also literally be the vampire pilot from The Night Flier and Popsy. He'd be genre savvy enough.
