If you love trashy, cheapie horror oldies...... ....and you know who you are...... this one's for you!
This is, hands down, one of the best of the stupid, tacky, impossibly poorly written and acted teenie-bop fifties movies ever. It even has a production number, "Puppy Love", sung by a dreamboat greaser-guy (later a vampire victim, his body discovered along with another unfortunate teen in an unbelievably contrived shot with major bad lighting. Tacky effects, even for the time, the same girl-to-vampire progression sequence repeated endlessly. You can also see a string holding the vampire mask onto the protagonist's head in a graveyard sequence.
I ADORE this movie. Yeah, where IS the DVD??????
Where's the DVD ...? This is one of those films that is hard to find for those of us who love trashy horror flicks. This is one of the best. A fun script, tacky effects and some hysterically bad songs. What fun. I have the VHS. I want a DVD. Anyone else who agrees? UPDATE: This has been released on DVD, on a double-bill with "How to Make a Monster". Very good transfer.
