Fox News anchor Jesse Watters introduced his latest guest, the “vampire,” “Meet Hellie Schweizer, she’s 28 and she lives in Ohio. She looks like she’s dressed up for Halloween but that’s no costume. For the last two years, Hellie has identified as a vampire. Yeah, she’s identified as a vampire. Primetime has questions.”

Hellie laughed and responded, “No, I am not interested in sucking anyone’s blood. I like energy, I like good vibes.”
Watters, who appeared visibly amused, “Okay, so you wear teeth like that with fangs, all the time?” asked Watters.
“As often as I can,” responded Hellie before she continued, “they can get uncomfortable sometimes but as often as I can, I’m going around everywhere like…” Hellie then put her fingers and teeth forward, in a terrifying manner, while Watters simply smiled.
Watters continued, “So Hellie, every day you dress up as a vampire, you identify as a vampire, and then you go about your day?”
Hellie expressed that sometimes she does wear a “cozy sweater” However she added, “That doesn’t mean I’m not a vampire.”
The “vampire” also mentioned there are other “living vampires” like her who choose not to cosplay, however, she chooses to because it is an “outward reflection” of her soul.
When asked by Watters what she does for work, Hellie answered that she was a “social media manager,” and in response, Watters simply laughed.
Hellie also expressed that her parents were “so proud” of her, which visibly surprised Watters. As the interview between the Fox News anchor and the “vampire” continued, the internet wasn’t too impressed.
