What happens to a vampire’s hair when he flies to outer space? Can a vampire use partially human sweat as sunscreen to safely step into the daylight? Those were two of the questions that hair department head Tamara Harrod and makeup department head Sarah Milk had to answer in the fifth season of FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows.”
Harrod has been with the series since Season 1 and Milk since Season 2, so by Season 5, they’d long since nailed the looks of the main cast of nocturnal Staten Islanders: blood-sucking vampires Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nandor (Kayvan Novak) and the Guide (Kristen Schaal), plus energy vampire Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) and Nandor’s “familiar” (human servant waiting to be turned into a vampire), Guillermo (Harvey Guillén).
