Even in these troubled times, the vampire has it worse than most of us.

The film is well mounted and stylishly produced. In what must've seemed like a luxury, Jonathan Frid had time to learn ALL his lines.

It has the unique distinction of being the only motion picture ever based on a daytime soap opera.
