History YMMV / AmericanVampire

* IdiotPlot: It is impossible for ''The Blacklist'' to work without the Vassals and Pearl having taken leave of their very senses. Despite having a traitor in the agency, nobody even begins to suspect Skinner, who's there against his will and has shown himself to be a treacherous monster multiple times. Despite Henry being at death's door, Pearl happily works with Skinner without even considering he's the one who leaked her and Henry's hiding place to the Hollywood covens. The fact that Skinner has tried to ''flat out torture Henry to death'' in the past doesn't seem to be something Pearl even ''remembers.''

** ''Lord of Nightmares'': {{Dracula}}, the OverarchingVillain of this miniseries, is depicted as a [[TheDreaded feared]], ancient monster of pure evil and a MultipleChoicePast. Dracula was the first Carpathian vampire; as the Carpathian strain wasn't powerful or virulent, it went ignored, allowing the species to become immensely populous, at which point near the end of the 1700s he launched genocidal warfare on all previous vampire strains, exterminating many. After being bound and imprisoned by the vampire-hunting organization Vassals of the Morningstar, Dracula was still occasionally able to reach out, twisting the minds of mortals—including Prince Albert Victor, who thus became UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper--into homicidal insanity, often forcing them to murder their loved ones. When he encounters the leader of the Vassals, Linden Hobbes, who was one such victim, Dracula brutally attempts to dismember him, mocking him all the while with a vision of Hobbes's dead son attacking him.

** [[TheDreaded The Gray Trader]], or the Great Traitor, [[FallenHero was once humanity's greatest hero Hurin]]. Joining the eldritch Beast, the original source of all monsters, Hurin became its [[HumanoidAbomination now-monstrous]] protector and greatest servant. Attempting to revive the Beast to bring about HellOnEarth, the Trader tortures and kills countless innocents, often using the voices of their loved ones to torture them or convince them to allow him to devour them and convert them into soulless demon servants of the Beast. The Trader converts an entire mining community into soulless husks of themselves while "seeding" a woman with the Beast, forcing her to give birth to it in an agonizing process that lasts weeks. Torturing his victims for information, the Trader locates multiple vampire [[WouldHurtAChild children]] and feeds them to his master as well before unleashing his monsters on America, resulting in mass slaughter. Devoted only to the Beast and bringing about the end of days for humanity, Hurin demonstrates how far even humanity's greatest hero can fall.

** Chase Hamilton, a famous Hollywood actor in [[TheSilentAgeOfHollywood the silent movie era]], came to fame by striking a deal with B.D. Bloch, [[UngratefulBastard repaying]] the VampireHunter who initially saved Chase's life by murdering him before he could slay Bloch, feeding said hunter to Bloch himself. In exchange for wealth, prestige and power, Chase has used his charm to lead countless aspiring young starlets, [[DisposableVagrant vagrants]] and other easily-missed nobodies to Bloch, carting their mangled bodies by the literal truckload each night into a ravine full of the bodies of those Chase has led to their doom. One of the final victims of this operation is Pearl Jones, who is made a vampire by Skinner Sweet and offered Chase as her first victim; [[ButForMeItWasTuesday Chase doesn't even recognize her]].
