Synopsis

Working as henchman to the lead singer of the vampire rock group"Plasma", Reed Buccholz's [Mex Erkiletian] job has definite high points, like finding sexygirls to bring home for Anthony [Yan Birch] and being able to photograph and have sexwith their blood-drained bodies prior to disposing of them in the morgueof the hospital where Reed holds a daytime job as a nurse. Vampire hunterVanessa Helsing [Monica Baber] has dedicated her life to destroying vampires, inparticular Anthony, the vampire who killed her famous father. So far, shehas managed to destroy Seth and Tobin, the band's lead guitarist anddrummer, but she hasn't gotten to Anthony yet.

One day, Vanessa runs into Reed at the hospital. Recognizing him asAnthony's manager, she follows him to Anthony's house. Fortunately forAnthony, he hears Vanessa sneaking around and lays a trap for her. Withher dying breath, Vanessa instructs Anthony to look in her backpack wherehe finds a bottle of AZT pills, a medication used to fight the AIDS virus.Worried that he might have contacted AIDS from Vanessa's blood, Anthonyasks Reed to get him a blood test. It comes back positive...a real blowfor Anthony, who sinks into a grand depression. He feels even worse whenLenore [ P.K. Phillips], his maker, explains how he will slowly waste away until someonefinds his bald, shriveled body and pronounces him dead (no heartbeat), andhe is buried alive to live the rest of his life in the dark with the wormsgnawing on him.

After delivering that pleasant news, Lenore pays a visit to Vanessa,who is just awakening as a vampire. What Vanessa forgot, Lenore explains,is that she was bitten by both Seth and Tobin, making Anthony her thirdbiter. Now Vanessa is one of them. Her only recourse is to kill Anthony,and reverse the curse. Vanessa attempts to destroy Anthony, but Reedintervenes and kills Vanessa. They store her body in the guest coffinuntil such time as they can bury it.

Before he dies, Anthony has but one request -- to go sailing onReed's boat. The boys have a great evening, Anthony playing captain, andReed learning a thing or two about sailing. After their night on thewater, Anthony sits out in the morning sun and kills himself, much toReed's sorrow.

Worried that he might also have contacted AIDS, Reed has had hisblood tested, too. It came up negative, but the scare is enough to turnhim off to necrophilia. Instead, he turns down a job working as Lenore'srenfield and asks Beth [Colleen Moore] (a lab technican with a crush on him) to quit herjob and go sailing around the world with him on his boat. Beth agrees, andthe two of them go off together, arm in arm, singing, "In the jungle, themighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight..."
