In the TV show "What We Do in the Shadows," the Vampiric Council is a group of powerful vampires who enforce the rules of undead life. They are responsible for holding vampire trials and punishing those who break the rules. The Council is made up of various vampire characters, including Vladislav the Poker, who is played by Jermaine Clement. Other actors who have played vampires in the past, such as Evan Rachel Wood and Wesley Snipes, also appear on the Council as themselves. Paul Reubens, who played a vampire in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is also a member of the Council.
