Summaries

  • Two writers and their girlfriends visit the castle of an actor who specializes in playing vampire roles. As the night progresses, they begin to wonder if the man is an actor playing a vampire, or a vampire playing an actor.
  • The renowned horror actor MacGregor has announced that he is quitting horror films and will now appear only in romances. A producer sends two of his scriptwriters Alfred and Boris to persuade MacGregor to change his mind. The two, along with their girlfriends Marie and Madeleine, travel to MacGregor's castle where he lives with his love Heloise, the former wife of his servant Abelard. Many comic shenanigans ensue as they try to persuade MacGregor to reconsider.—Moria
  • The sudden announcement of MacGregor, the last of the great horror stars, leaving a long-running horror series to pursue a career in romantic dramas, sends the studio boss into a frenzy. So, to prevent MacGregor from making the wrong decision, the producer sends a team of screenwriters and stunning actresses to MacGregor's eerie castle, hoping to change his mind. Instead, the night becomes a spine-chilling experience that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. And the question remains. Is truth stranger than fiction?—Nick Riganas
