Danny makes a Dracula joke to Vlad, and Vlad reacts so explosively that Danny decides to spread vampire-related rumors about around Amity Park that Plasmius is a vampire.
He does it as Phantom. He thinks heâs subtle and sneaky about it: informing the public they can ward off the Wisconsin Ghost with garlic and crosses, really projects when he makes vampire puns when they fight, etc.
No one in Amity believes him. They go along with it anyway because theyâre at a point where pretty much everyone likes Phantom, or at the very least recognize they owe him one. Also, Plasmius is terrible.
They shout âoh no, a vampire!â when heâs spotted, stage whisper âHow is he out and about before sundown?â if heâs nearby, and the local paper even runs an article with âresearchâ on the history of âGhostferatuâ and a complete guide on protecting yourself from vampires at the bottom.
At first they donât tell Phantom that they donât really believe him. After a while someone lets it slip that they know, and Danny realizes he has an inside joke with the whole town. Itâs twice as sweet since itâs at Vladâs expense.
