The premise

The Hansen kids are in a jam. Adam and his best friend Duffy have gotten their hands on some tickets for the Headless Horseman concert, and his sister Chelsea has a date with her dreamy boyfriend Peter. The only problem is they're both grounded. Chelsea and Adam will do whatever it takes to get their mom Lynette out of the house, even if it includes a chance meeting with a very mysterious man. Everything seems to go according to plan until their little brother Taylor realizes that this stranger might be a vampire.

Horror Vault's take

When the Hansen kids find themselves grounded and desperate, they cook up a sneaky plan to get their mom out of the house — setting her up on a blind date so they can sneak off to their own forbidden fun. The scheme seems foolproof until the youngest sibling starts suspecting that mom's mysterious new admirer is far more than just an odd stranger. Part family comedy, part creature-feature lite, this Disney Channel-era TV movie blends suburban chaos with classic vampire lore. It's a breezy, low-stakes Halloween romp that leans on laughs as much as fangs.
