Transylvania Twist1989
“You'll Laugh All The Way To The Blood Bank!”
Directed by Jim Wynorski
The premise
The nephew of a librarian must go collect a 200 year old book, "The Book of Ulthar." that should have never been checked out by the Evil Count Orlock cause one of the spells in it could bring about the end of the world. During his trip to the castle, he meets Marissa, a gorgeous rock star and heir to the castle's fortune. There they must confront the only other heir to the fortune and the book, Uncle Byron; and Uncle Byron and his 3 adopted nieces all have very, very, very broad smile.
Horror Vault's take
When a mysterious and dangerously overdue library book — a tome of world-ending spells — ends up in the hands of a Transylvanian vampire count, one hapless young man is dispatched to retrieve it before catastrophe strikes. His quest leads him to a crumbling castle, a beautiful heiress, and a family reunion packed with suspiciously wide-grinning relatives. Transylvania Twist gleefully raids the classic monster movie canon for laughs, piling on parody and pratfalls in equal measure. Think less fright, more fangs-for-the-memories fun.
