Lots of tongue-in-cheek, low-grade humor permeates this story as camp vamp queen Elvira helps Beaver Hills High School student Luke Berry find his missing girl friend, Shannon Doheny. It seems that a gorgeous hunk named Sevil Alucard (read the name backwards) has recently moved into the neighborhood. But Elvira knows there is something not quite right about this guy. She is right. He is a vampire, and he now has Shannon sharing his coffin. |
