Juliet and Vampire Juliet. This week, Allen jumps into another world inhabited by vampires. He really tries to like Vampire in the Garden, but only comes out of the experience half successful. At least the reception wasn't frosty, I guess? Next week, there will apparently be words from some sponsors. Or maybe action, I dunno. -Stig Høgset.
