We are kicking off #vampril with 1989’s TEEN VAMP. No, this isn’t a sequel to 1986’s VAMP. Instead, TEEN VAMP is a coming of age story set in a very 1980’s looking 1950’s about a nerdy teenager who hires a prostitute that turns out to be a vampire while also looking like Patricia Morrison from The Sisters of Mercy. Once bitten, he becomes the coolest kid in school and a complete asshole. He also becomes a vampire, but that should be obvious.
TEEN VAMP has everything you want from a vampire movie while taking it’s own spin on traditional vampire lore. Daylight is no problem for these vampires. They are also surprisingly respectful of parent curfews. And if that isn’t enough, TEEN VAMP gives throws in the ghosts of dead children, random teleportation, and a surprising amount of man buns.
