Kings Road Entertainment • 1987 • 89 minutes • Rated PG • Directed by Jimmy Huston
Vestron Release: Jul 25, 2023

Vampirism isn’t all the horror it’s made out to be, it’s just an alternative lifestyle! You drink a bit of and get to live ten times longer than anyone else. Nothing to it. At least that’s what Jeremy Capello (Robert Sean Leonard, House M.D.) thinks when he gets a deep love-bite from a hot date. Before he knows it, his reflection in the bathroom mirror has vanished, he can’t stand the smell of garlic and he’s developed an overwhelming passion for raw steak! Things don’t seem to bad until the arrival of maniac vampire hunter Professor McCarthy (David Warner, Titanic). He’s “staking out” Jeremy, and the future doesn’t look so bright. Anything can happen, and it does, in this hilarious comedy that gives a whole new meaning to the word “nightlife.”
