Okay, the final overextension of this metaphor was amazing. Especially with the added digression into whether Cienkowski had originally considered the implications of vampire poop.
ooh - I actually didn't get the nod to Halloween until you pointed it out for me! Funny, since I love Halloween and already have carved pumpkin, a tray of cute candy, and a fire cat in my window! 😄
I wonder if these things would still move in the same way if they weren't growing on a smooth glass substrate. Frosted glass can be index matched with media using iodixanol, which should facilitate good microscopy.
I wonder if Brian Lumley was inspired by these for Necroscope. The Vampires in those novels do have many of these qualities including the tendrils and puncturing to eat from the inside out stuff. Great espionage suspense series. A little dated, but I enjoyed them!
Imagine a contemporary take on ''the blob'' horror movie but with a more ''scientific logic'' to it that has the blob change and go through various life cycles. Would actually be kind of neat ngl.
Very nice work! Love the footage. Personally, looking at the footage at 05:20, it appears to me to be more of a Leptophryidae, rather than Arachnula, the movement is too rigid and the filopodia are tapering. Also, just to add there are currently 4 described vampyrellid families, though the other two are definitely rarer. Not to mention many other exciting new insights into vampyrellids to come. ;)
Arachula looks genuinely terrifying tbth, imagine it around as big as a football in a body of water you frequent often, silly you, it's looking for a warm blooded orifice thankyou very much.
Common Amoeba W they're soooo cool!!!! These feeding methods are insaaaane! Super cool creature and very entertaining to see the metaphor overextending
Seems that we might have gotten a little too excited about it being Spooktober and missed this one! Thanks for calling it out and good job catching the misspelled name!
Well, a vampire "sires" another by draining them and then letting them drink their tainted blood, effectively "consuming them from the inside" so... Yeah. Good metaphor. EDIT: In any vampire lore worth its salt, that is, with absolutely no reference to any modern sparkly daywalking millennia-old angsty teen-stalkers. "I like watching you sleep..." Ewwwww! Suck the blood, freak! Don't just SUCK fullstop!

more like a pillar man tho
It was I, vampyrellidae!!
I think that it's annoying.
So step one is the blob
Step two the thing
Step three vampire
Step four invasion of the body snatchers
Fun ,authentic , analogy !!
I love having Hank's amazing voice mesmerisingly guiding us on our journey through the Microcosmos
Thank you for reminding me every day why life's good. Much love from a Zimbabwean microbiologist.
Amoebas my beloved.
I pass them every day in the thousands
The thumbnail for this one was really fun! I liked it!
Spooky season is upon us!
Fangs for the informative content as always!🧛
ooh - I actually didn't get the nod to Halloween until you pointed it out for me! Funny, since I love Halloween and already have carved pumpkin, a tray of cute candy, and a fire cat in my window! 😄
Thank you for such a wonderful episode! This is the exact sort of information I love the show for ❤
"And then the vampire needs to clone itself a few times..." Ah yes. As vampires do.
Came for the scary vampire amoeba, stayed for the silly vampire metaphors. 😆
I love the retro aesthetic in this episode. It has such atmosphere!
Awesome video! Having a vampyrella printed on a t-shirt would be a great low effort Halloween costume.
Mobile Shielded Buffet is the perfect setting for vampire post-apocalyptic movie.
Watching this during a thunderstorm really adds to the atmosphere

Absolutely loved the intro! And the metaphors couldn't have been better. Well done!!
Waking up from a long nap hungry but also ready to leave some brown particles behind relatable
I was today years old when I found out the lovely modular sounding synth music on these videos is by non other than Andrew Huang
I thought the music was a great match with the subject matter. Good job, @andrewhuang ! 😄
Digestive cyst = after-Thanksgiving snooze.
Beautiful photography. Thank you.
I love it that its happening all over all, the time and everywhere...

Every vampire movie or novel should clarify if their version of vampires needs to poop or not.

this was a particularly exciting episode ;) i love this passion project of yours

5:50 Actually, sounds like a great new horror movie idea!
This is My favorite episode so far, not only cause of the theme, but also as a fellow microbiologist i'm progress ❤❤❤
It’s so bizarre with how microscopic life is almost like a completely alien world to everything else
I can't find anything in the name "Arachula"? What did pop up is "Arachnula" which seems to be it
Seems that we might have gotten a little too excited about it being Spooktober and missed this one! Thanks for calling it out and good job catching the misspelled name!
@@journeytomicrohaha no problem. I thought it looked sooooo cool and I had to know more! Great video as always!
Thanks for the awesome content and great videos!!
Awesome! Looking forward to the Elvirella episode 😉
Great video! ❤
I just subbed to your channel! Nice spider video 👀
This is really awesome 🧛🏻♀ Thanks so much Hank & James🧡🖤 Happy Spooktober👻 🔬🦠
Everything they do is great, but I liked this one very much! The old movie effects at the beginning is a nice additional touch 😊
In 1:14, it says Arachula, not Arachnula.
In 1:09, you wrote Leptophyrs, not Leptophrys.
i've been waiting for you guys to do a video on these! they're my favorite amoebae and some of my favorite microbes in general.
Protoplast extraction sounded like a spider sinking it fang into the prey, then turning the internal body into liquid, then sucking it up.
wonderful episode as always, keep it up!
Beautiful work
Having to poop before a murdery feast is verrryy important you know! 😊
Please please please when there is something interesting happening on screen DON'T SLAP TEXT ACROSS IT!
Massively appreciate the Vampyr reference
%:55 might've taken the metaphor a lil far but my dnd brain doesn't mind, my players might however
"Numerous Brown particles" is a clear definition for it. :) XD
I'm excited to the next Halloween special where we journey to find a microbe that changes in the moonlight
Colony invasion is how the Pillar Men can feed! (IT'S A JOJO REFERENCE!!)
An incredible intro
I am glad they are not the size of a raccoon. I would not like to have my insides sucked out.
Awesome intro!!
Great video!
Keep away from me vampy lady!!😲
definitely thrown off by the title
And Smith told Morpheus in the Matrix movie…
It’s a matter of perspective.
I almost skipped this because I didn't read the channel name and read the title as "Vampirella". Was she making a comeback?
I love October!
Ia! Ia! Shub-Niggurath!
OMG VAMPIRELLA are my favorites!!!!!
Why do I read Vampyrella in an Italian accent 😂
Super interessante! Adoro assistir esse canal! Parabéns pelo trabalho. 👏💝
"Numerous brown particles..."
Reminds me of the Strigoi from The Strain TV show 😂
Next April fools you should do a joke episode on the Thing from another world
wow these are cool as heck
Sucky little lifeform.
Quite practical though 😍
To be hiding inside a buffet 😂
I ❤ this channel.
Interesting.
Love your videos but the music was a little distracting on this one. Keep up the amazing work! 💜💜
The thumbnail sounds like it's about my ex 😂
Tradução em português br please
Everybody poops.
GOAT
Love this!!!!! ❤
So, microbes poop's also brown, huh!!
Arachula = Hermaeus Mora
2:50 Mickey Mouse cell
Howdy
It should really be pronounced vam-pee-rella, not vam-pie-rella
Awsome
what we really do in the shadows
poo
morph.
vamp/vampself
Then it's a pillar man not a vampire.
❤❤❤

Amoebas my beloved! 😍
