Not sure what it says about my brain that this made me think of "Trogdor", which in turn leads to the mental image of a kaiju sized G burninating the countryside. But now that image is in the brains of anyone who read this, so enjoy that.

Unless there's an older reference underneath, this pings as a Gomez Addams paraphrase to me, and I'm pretty sure most of the folks who frequent this corner of the Internet will at least be familiar with the movies if not the old TV shows.

The question in my mind is if G was trying to make a reference only he could possibly understand in that situation, or if he really does enjoy ladies speaking French (well, Gallian in this case, but functionally equivalent.)

Annotations and follow up conversations seem to indicate this is a half conscious cheeky reference to vampire hunters in general, not a direct challenge to any individual, though I still see it as dangerously tempting fate (granted, I almost pity any hunter foolish enough to visit that house with intent to harm the residents, but inviting trouble in is just never the best play.)
