Death, Decay, Murder, Blood, Vampires...and other keywords which will make this episode more visible to the edgelords of the internet! Today we appease the Cosmic Joker and bring you a morbidly absurd April Fools experience! Yes, watermelons can be vampires too, and no, we are not pranking you. No siree. It's a real thing, just look at the sources below. I'm not making this stuff up. No really...it is a genuine traditional belief...as is killing the elderly with bread! No wait! I can explain! Damn, just listen to the episode... unless you're vegan! Or an old person. Or Serbian. Or a representative of the vampire pumpkin majority! Or... sane, in any sort of way :P
