What Creatures of Habit is about

London, an actor between jobs, and an advert that sounds too good to ignore. A discreet matchmaking agency is looking for a practice partner for its clients, cash in hand, no questions. What he does not read, because it is written nowhere: the clients are creatures of the night. A vampire with strict rules about meals, a ghost who only vaguely remembers what bodies are for, and a succubus who knows very precisely what she wants and when.

All three are supposed to learn how a normal date goes, with small talk, the bill and a goodbye at the front door. He is supposed to be the normal date. That works for exactly one episode. After that the three of them compare notes on him, extend the practice sessions on their own authority until midnight, then until one, then until sunrise. At some point he realises he stopped being the teacher a while ago and has become the lesson. Between sessions he sits in his little flat practising small talk with the mirror, which only proves that he is the one most in need of practice.

Creatures of Habit takes its premise seriously and still plays with it. Every episode is a practice session that gets out of hand: Permission, The Whole Night, Midnight to One, The Diet, Comparing Notes, Until Sunrise. The tone is light, a little eerie, never gory. Episode 1 shows the first meeting, the agency's house rules and the first rule that gets broken before dessert arrives.

Six episodes in the Magic and Fantasy categories, each one to two minutes, portrait format, English subtitles. If you enjoy stories with a wink, where the supernatural is just the excuse for very human wishes, Creatures of Habit will suit you. The episodes are short enough for the train home and strange enough for late at night when the flat has gone quiet. The agency, by the way, has more clients on its waiting list, and the series leaves open whether he changes his number.

What is Creatures of Habit on DreamyShorts about?

An actor working as a practice date for an agency whose clients are a vampire, a ghost and a succubus. Each episode is a lesson that ends differently from the plan. The series mixes fantasy, humour and attraction, and stays in the living room rather than the haunted cellar.

Is Creatures of Habit scary?

No. The creatures of the night here are characters with quirks and wishes, not monsters. It is about closeness and the question of who is really training whom. No violence, no blood, all the characters are adult and AI-generated, and the humour carries the series. It is a Dreamy Shorts production with the original English audio.
