PEOPLE
Blade discusses joining SHAFT on E!

Brooke Burke caught up with the Vampire Hunter while taping "Wild On Venice," where he was busy exterminating a nest of vampires called "The Defiant Ones" that preyed on tourists.

"Joining SHAFT was an easy decision to make, because we share the same philosophy. I've always been guided by the principle of direct action. I don't wait around for the authorities to fix a problem. I handle it myself. Like the vampire thing. Do you realize that at one point the situation was so bad that the forces of darkness were only being held in check by some high school students in California?"

"But the last thing you want is for the federal government to declare a War on Vampires. If they handled it like the War on Drugs or the War on Poverty, we'd all be extinct in a matter of months."
