Vamp

I remember seeing posters for Vamp when I was younger, but never was able to find a copy of it when I actually got into horror movies. Finally, NetFlix came to my rescue. Vamp was one of those 80’s comedy-horror movies that’s very similar to Fright Night and the like.

In Vamp, some fraternity pledges are out on the town looking for a stripper for their fraternity party. In true 80’s teen comedy fashion, their honest look for a good time turns into a zany adventure, complete with vampire strippers. At the After Dark club, the girls want more than your dollar bills; they want your blood. Will the guys survive the night? Will the guy get the girl? What about the best friend?

Grace Jones plays the main vampire, and she’s just as much of a freak you think she might be. Her costumes are pretty amazing, especially the Keith Herring body paint. Deedee Pfeiffer is very cute as the cocktail waitress/love interest that has a past with our hero, Chris Makepeace. All of the actors were good in an 80’s teen movie kind of way.

Overall, it is a very fun vampire movie, and if you liked Fright Night or those goofy movies like Once Bitten, you’d probably like Vamp. It’s almost like Porky’s, except with vampires. A vampire sex comedy – what more could you ask for?

Rating: 3 ½ Purrs for Deedee Pfeiffer - she's so darn cute! and for Grace Jones being the freak that she is
