- How in the world does such a large undead community go unnoticed in a relatively small city in New Zealand? It's pretty obvious that all the creatures who feed on humans (blood or flesh) kill their prey, so that's a very high body count in a fairly small area.
- It seems to be a case of Humans Are Morons.
- Plus Rule of Funny.
- The vampires' hypnosis powers, in particular Vladislav's, seem to go a long way. Provided there's not too much attention in a short space of time, it probably gets them by with little hassle.
- Deacon was right on the money—when the vampires bring people over to the house, they kill them. They bite their necks and drink their blood. So why, if they're drinking straight from the vein, do they have so many dirty dishes? Are they seriously draining their victims into glasses and mugs to drink that way, or …?
- it's from the Spaghetti-O's/worm-dinner parties.
- At the masquerade, there's blood drained into cups, so presumably they do that from time to time.
- So how are we even having this mockumentary filmed in the first place? If they have no reflection, they certainly cannot give light back to the lens of a camera to film their person. Just taxes the suspension of disbelief to believe they show them unable to have a reflection and yet still be filmed.
- If they did not reflect light, they would be invisible. You see what you see by the light reflected of the object and caught by your eye.
- One explanation I've seen for vampires not being reflected in mirrors is that it's some sort of effect of mirrors being made of silvered glass. The fact that silver has an adverse effect on vampires somehow stops them from being reflected. You wouldn't get that problem with a video camera. On the other hand, you can get mirrors and other reflective surfaces that don't contain silver. So you'd think vampires would have realized that just looking out a window at night from a brightly-lit room would let them check whether they look like a total fashion victim. Maybe it's just magic and isn't internally consistent.
- They've been shown to be out of touch, perhaps the only mirrors they own are old-fashioned ones made with silver, and they never found out about other mirrors.
- If the vampires don't want their existence known, why did they agree to do the documentary?
- This gets lamp shaded a few times, especially by Nick when they're yelling at him about exposing them. Perhaps they thought that it would never be released to the world.
- After the credit, Deacon tries to hypnotise the viewers into forgetting the movie. Presumably he a) assumed everyone would stay and b) doesn't actually know how his powers work. Which is entirely plausible, given these vampires.
- Adding on to this, it would make sense if they used this as an opportunity to gain more human thralls. Unfortunately for them, Rule of Funny is in effect, here.
- Maybe they found out about documentaries, and thought having one made purely as a "home movie" would be a great way to see themselves in action, now that they know technology is capable of showing them what mirrors can't?
- Or maybe they hoped that featuring in a film that'd be circulated among other monsters would make them more popular among their fellow vampires.
- The werewolves don't transform until quite late at night, and only when the moon comes out from behind the clouds. If it's the moonlight that matters, couldn't they have just stayed inside?
- They're a pack, they likely told each other to transform anyway.
- “We’re werewolves, not swearwolves.” Why can’t werewolves swear? Is this group of werewolves just funny like that?
- It's kind of like "Fish are friends, not food"—the gang doesn't swear as a matter of principle, rather than a physical or magical limitation. Also noteworthy is that these particular wolves were trying to keep their tempers down to stop from "wolfing out" in public, and swearing is usually a sign of high tempers.
