Think of this as a really comic pre-cursor to True Blood. Not camp, just plain silly.
Plot: When the vampire nation, led by Count Mardulak (David Carradine) realises it's bloodsucking days are numbered, they retreat to a small town in the Western United States- Purgatory. In Purgatory, one might find aged, grey bearded hick brothers, swinging on seats at a Gas Station, Jamaican Police Chiefs and a variety of disenchanted "folk" staring absently at week old hamburgers.
Endeavouring to keep up appearances and produce a synthetic blood substitute, the scientists of the town enlist the help of a human to increase production. Along with said human comes his wife and family. Not long after them, a descendent of the Van Helsing clan (Bruce Cult Campbell) also appears, intent on ridding the world of the count.
Look out for clay-mation bats with grey beards.
Line of the film: "I'm not a young man anymore".
Budget: $2,800,000
Gross: $? A big hit on DVD though.
Fun Fact: Co-stars Deborah Foreman, a cult actress in her own right- April Fool's Day, Lobster Man from Mars, Waxwork, Real Genius, to name but a few.
