'A vampire Countess needs to drink the blood of a virgin in order to keep her eternal beauty. It seems that all is hopeless, until she bumps into Mark Kendall.'

I watched this on Halloween instead of Trick 'r Treating It was fun seeing Jim Carey so young and he was pretty good in this too. The dance scene in the gym was my favorite part of the movie. Boy, that girl could dance! She must have been a professional dancer as she was really good. Even Jim Carey busted a few moves!



The funniest scene was in the high school locker room showers when his two friends were trying to check his inner thigh for a vampire bite, ha!

I might have seen bits of this on TV way back in the day, but I didn't remember it, so maybe not. Oh, the movie score was great in this as well. Both the score and the actual songs that were used. I never heard any of those songs before and didn't recognize the names of the bands, but I did enjoy them...The score was much better than generic electronic synth muzak.
