Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss star as John and Mary Hyatt, a young urban couple who, along with their two children Billy (Kevin Brando) and Debbie (Kari Michaelsen) move into a rundown home.
The home is haunted and a vampire named Waldemar (Jeffrey Tambor) wants to move in, but cannot. Billy finds an old book which magically brings many of the monsters in it to life and chaos ensues.
This movie spoofs Friday The 13th and many other horror movies of the time and of days gone by. Severn Darden is Van Helsing and his performance is so over the top, it's hilarious, in a good comedy way of course.
I was absolutely in love with Kari Michaelsen during the late 70's and early 80's and it was frustrating not being able to see this movie when it came out. But I have finally had my Kari fix once again.
The film is no classic, but it is innocent fun and if you like this kind of movie, then I recommend this Julie Corman produced gem. The rest of the cast includes Rosemary DeCamp, Roberta Collins, Stacy Keach, Sr., and Annie O' Donnell.
Shout TV has a great print of the movie and it is available on Blu-ray if you're so inclined, and believe me, in these times we need more innocent movies like this.
