Rock Worm Study, Red as a vamp? and Philip not the same?

[Linux.Blue]

I have heard a couple, if not three times about Red saying he met/knew Philip before. Near the beginning of the transmissions, we hear him say "...so that we might meet again." and when you get in the last area, "...Please don't leave poor Red all alone once more."
Now, the humor part, maybe Red is the vampire, and Philip is Renfield, like in Dracula Dead and loving it. because at the end...

Spoiler below!

You see his ashes in a pile, just like the end of the Dracula Dead and loving it movie, only difference, no smile
