* SouthernGothic: Season 1 is a gothic romance about two vampires, and the past events take place in New Orleans during the early 20th century. It's a city rife with racism (there's racial segregation) and murder (because vampires eat on average two humans a night, Lestat alone has killed more than ''21,000'' people from the early fall 1910 [[note]]the autumnal equinox was Sep. 23 in that year, so presumably he arrived in New Orleans around then[[/note]] to Feb. 6, 1940). The decay is represented by the de Pointe du Lac sugar plantation, which was once prosperous, but is no longer profitable by the time Louis inherits it. The voodoo practitioners who live near the vampire family try to curse them by placing {{Voodoo Doll}}s inside a circle of brick dust on the doorstep of their home.

* ZombifyTheLiving: The series features the vampirism variety where the transition from living to undead occurs while the person is on the threshold of death, and is therefore technically still alive (albeit barely). The show's Louis doesn't lose consciousness after he consumes Lestat's vampire blood, unlike in the [[Film/InterviewWithTheVampire 1994 movie]] where that incarnation of Louis actually dies and temporarily becomes an inert corpse before waking up as a vampire. Louis details in episode 2 how it felt for his human body to adapt to vampirism:
-->'''Louis''': ''(in 2022 narrating to Daniel)'' Bliss was merely a stage in my transformation. Pain followed, a seizing and unrelenting pain, through which I would pass before my apprenticeship began.\\
'''Louis''': ''(in 1910 while struggling to walk)'' What's happening?!\\
'''Lestat''': Your body is confused. Your lungs feel like water, your heart, fire. You feel as if you're dying, because you are.\\
''(Louis [[VomitDiscretionShot vomits]])''\\
'''Lestat''': And then there's the retching.
