Ten years after the death of millionaire Cyrus Norman, his will is to be read out to his six relatives, including Joyce Norman (Paulette Goddard) and Wally Campbell (Bob Hope). Organized by Norman's lawyer, Crosby (George Zucco), the six meet at Norman's eerie New Orleans Gothic mansion. During the reading, the superstitious housekeeper declares that someone will be dead by midnight.

This is a bit different of a Bob Hope film then I have seen before. While there is a little comedy here... this is much more a suspense/thriller. And a really good one at that. Bob Hope was better then I was expecting acting in a more serious roll. I am also getting to like the actress Paulette Goddard. I am going to have to look into more of her films.

Plot:
Sink your teeth into the hysterically funny spoof VAMPIRES SUCK Extended BITE ME Edition with more outrageous humor and bloody fun! Becca, an angst-ridden teenager at a new high school, finds herself torn between two supernatural suitors; a moody vampire and an extremely hairy werewolf. From two of the comedy masterminds that wrote Scary Movie and costarring Ken Jeong (The Hangover), this laugh-out-loud comedy will leave you howling for more!

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Deleted Scenes
• Outtakes/Bloopers

This is a movie my brother rented from Netflix. And with my love of anything vampires I had to check it out before he sent it back. I am not what you would call a big Twilight fan. But I did see the first movie. And while it wasn't what I would call great... it entertained me. Knowing that this movie is a parody of mostly of the Twilight movies... I went into this one not expecting all that much. But with my curiosity peaked. I find that normally most spoofs tend to go too far on the stupid... immature jokes. And this one does have that as well. But I found it to be better then some I have seen out there. There is some scenes here that I literally laughed out loud on. But it could have been a lot better. Now... would I add this to my collection? Well... it isn't one I will be looking forward to adding. But if I found it cheap enough... say $5 and under... then I would probably pick it up.

ALL THE WRONG PLACES

Notable Guest Stars:
DB Woodside (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 24) as David


My Thoughts:
Another episode I enjoyed... though not quite as much as the previous ones. I actually enjoyed the side story about the amputee then I did the main storyline.

My Rating:
