To it's credit this 1986 horror comedy made me confront one of my deepest, darkest fears. Not vampires. Grace Jones, naked except for a Ronald McDonald wig & white-face. Sure it's fine if she does it, but if I do the same in black-face suddenly it's "not appropriate attire for dress-down Friday".........this country, pff....
Plot: Two fraternity pledges try to find some strippers for a big party when they stumble across a nudey bar with a difference. You guessed it, it's run by vampires. Kinda like if From Dusk till Dawn crashed headfirst into Animal House and this abomination was all that remained. You can save yourself the bother of actually watching it if you imagine Chris Makepeace running around 80's-style day-glo lit streets for a full 90 minutes. Furthermore, towns occupied by vampires have the cleanest sewers in the world.
Redeeming features include a kickass little vampire girl and much loved supporting actor Gedde Watanabe ("Dong, where is my automobile?").
Budget: $1,900,000
Gross: $4,940,000
Fun Fact: Director Richard Wenk co-wrote the screenplay for upcoming Expendables 2 (not really a credit in the truest sense of the word)
