Very funny
17 December 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Easily one of the best Jim Wynorski movies, others being Dinosaur Island, Chopping Mall and Hard to Die.

It spoofs some of the most famous horror movie villains and has many cameos such as the lovely Brinke Stevens, Monique Gabrielle, Angus Scrimm, Forrest Ackerman, Deana Lund and others.

Basically a young man (Steve Altman) and a hot actress (Teri Copley) travel to Transylvania and they meet all sorts of wacky characters. Like scared villagers, vampires and vampire hunter Von Helsing.

I was extremely surprised how funny it was considering this is rated PG, I don't really like most PG comedies, the only other that comes to mind is AIRPLANE,

Highly recommended.
