Jack of all trades George 'Buck' Flower stars as an eccentric news anchor reporting on a spate of vampiric crimes occurring in the Los Angeles area in this ultra mild adult Dracula parody.

Enlivened by Flower's exaggerated theatrical portrayal (he plays both the anchorman and roving reporter dressed in drag), the 'action' itself is repetitive and presented like a silent film with subtitles substituting for audible dialogue.

Maybe the best thing that could be said for this tepid adult horror comedy is that the fangs look frighteningly real, even if they're not used to full effect on the so-called 'victims'.

The parody subgenre imitates, exaggerates, and satirizes the style, themes, characters, or conventions of another work, genre, or cultural phenomenon. Parodies often involve taking well-known elements from the original source and presenting them in a humorous and exaggerated manner to create a comedic effect.
