Comedy
"Renfield, you idiot! This book's as out dated as...I am!"
Where would the film industry be without the invention of spoofs? The comedy genre, whether or not the filmmakers were attempting to be funny, has flourished in the vampire field. Some of these were meant to be taken seriously, but were just too ungodly bad to be anything other than comedy. Others, such as Dracula: Dead and Loving It, were bad - but made to be humorous. And others were just plain histerical. The need for humour in our culture is all too obvious, especially those of us who spend most of our time staring at the dark side of the moon. We all need a bit of the giggles occasionally, and this genre proves that.

Rated:

New Line Cinema
Director: Ulrich Edel
• ASIN: B000056T5K
Synopsis: Jonathan Lipnicki carries, on his pint-sized shoulders, his every scene as 8-year-old Tony, befriender of vampires, and the Scottish setting lends itself nicely to spookiness. But where this video earns most points is in the plot department. A continent away from his native California, Tony's having a tough time making new friends when a band of vagabond vampires enters his life through his bedroom window. The encounter seems pure coincidence at first, but then the scary truth surfaces: Tony, though he's not a vampire himself, has "sympathy for our kind," as the dad of the bat-linked brood puts it. Visions of vampire happenings from generations past invade the third-grader's consciousness, and they hold the key to the clan's current gypsy-like predicament. Through his clairvoyance and, by extension, the discovery of a long-lost amulet, the mostly benevolent bloodsuckers are able to reclaim their rightful status as proper cave dwellers in their homeland. Clueless-parent predicaments abound and are cleverer than most--Tony's mom and dad smirk at their son's vampire-obsessed imagination until the cape-draped heads of the clan drop by for a visit.
