 Jacob, Frank, and Maria were characters in Daniel Fraziers college  project, "Patience". The writers of Avenging Disco Vampires were  satirizing the serious short. "Patience" established the character  of Jacob who escaped from prison and took refuge in a mansion. As he  waited for his brother Frank to pick him up, he killed his home  bound hostage. Avenging Disco Vampires picks up from where the  original short left off with the arrival of Frank and Maria.
