Warning: This article contains spoilers for Day Shift.Netflix's vampires and vampire hunters. Day Shift keeps the classic vampire characteristics it displays consistent with traditional vampiric lore while introducing some specifications of its own.
Day Shift's plot follows Bud Jablonski (Jamie Foxx), a vampire hunter who moonlights as a pool cleaner unbeknownst to his estranged wife and daughter. The movie takes place in Southern California, where vampires overrun the nightly landscape. Alongside Jamie Foxx, Day Shift also stars Snoop Dogg and Dave Franco, of the Vampire Hunters Union, an organization Bud desperately wants to to keep his family from moving to Florida.
Uniquely, Snoop Dogg-approved True Blood Series. What sets the Day Shift vampires apart from other versions is that they can't live without their fangs and are organized into five categories - and here's every different type of vampire in Day Shift explained.
What Are The Different Types Of Vampires In Day Shift?
The five types of vampires mentioned in Day Shift are Southern, Eastern, Uber, Spider, and Juvenile. They can be identified by their fangs, with the fangs of older, powerful vampires being very valuable. Juvenile vampires are also called zombie vamps and are formed when a young vampire turns a human. They display zombie-like characteristics, lack regenerative abilities, and tend to feed on small animals as they can't process human blood. The Uber vamps are unique amongst their kind as they are usually more powerful and able to survive decapitation, which kills the other types. Not much is revealed about the remaining different types of Day Shift vampires, except that Eastern vampires have their fangs in the front, like the classic Nosferatu look. The potential Day Shift 2 may yield more information about the distinctive types. What is known is that the different vampire types almost never create a hive together except on rare occasions like Audrey's plot to overrun Southern California by housing them in her acquired properties.
Hints dropped throughout Day Shift show potential for a possible sequel. Snoop Dogg's character Big John mentions "El Jefe," a mysterious vampire rumored to be very powerful. It is possible "El Jefe" will be a potential villain for a Netflix sequel to explore and may explain why Audrey kept vampire-killing bullets in storage. Day Shift has created a somewhat complex vampire hierarchy that Netflix could explore over more entries, with each sect of vampire still remaining largely shrouded in mystery.
