Goofy, stupid, and often quite strange. It's a blast.

Two great comic actors, one lousy movie.

Not that funny to tell you the truth. Don't watch it.p.s: as I have to give it a half star, so that will be for the starting where the werewolf coughed. That was funny.

This is a horror spoof off the genre back in the early 80s, making obvious cracks towards haunted house flicks as well as adding a mix of vampires and various other creatures in the mix. Most of the gags don't work, but the movie has its' charm. If you like cheesy and mildly-amusing horror spoofs then check this out.
