A silly, lighthearted teen sex comedy with vampire gags, goofy performances, and a very 80s vibe.

Overview: Mark wants to lose his virginity, but his girlfriend wants to wait. Unfortunately for both of them, a 400-year-old vampire Countess needs to turn a virgin into a vampire before Halloween in order to preserve her own youthful appearance, and when she finds Mark, she turns his life upside-down.
How it feels: Campy, light, absurd and romantic. Brisk and easy to follow.
