The premise
Reclusive vampires lounge in a lonely American town. They wear sunscreen to protect themselves. A descendant of Van Helsing arrives with hilarious consequences.
Horror Vault's take
A remote desert town harbors a most unusual population — vampires who've traded coffins and cloaks for sunscreen and small-town living. The uneasy peace is shaken when an outsider with a very famous surname rolls into town, setting off a chain of comedic and increasingly chaotic events. With a cult-worthy cast led by David Carradine and Bruce Campbell, this offbeat horror-comedy leans hard into its sun-soaked premise. It's a gleefully campy riff on vampire mythology that doesn't take itself too seriously.
