WATCH: A vampire is stalking the streets of Philadelphia

You've heard of Philly Jesus, yes? Well, meet his evil equivalent, the Philly Vampire—and just in time for Halloween, too.

You've heard of Philly Jesus, yes? Well, meet his evil equivalent, the Philly Vampire—and just in time for Halloween, too.

Several Philadelphians got a good scare from the sanguinary streetdweller in the resulting video, actually a prank put on by YouTube celebrity and Philadelphian Ed Bassmaster. Mostly filmed in what appears to be Center City and Chinatown, it really is a fascinating look at how Philadelphians react when faced with a potentially supernatural scenario. Or, one with long, flowing hair and a tight V-neck, anyway.

And, not for nothing, but judging from some of the reactions, we'd have very little to worry about as a city in the event of vampire-based extinction. So, at least we're prepared for something.
