Trivia
Co-writer/director Gary P. Cohen got the idea for this film while working as a video store clerk. One day, a woman came into the store with a toddler and asked if the film Poor Albert and Little Annie (1972) was rated R for nudity. Cohen told her that he was not sure if the film contained nudity, but that it was probably rated R for graphic violence. The woman decided to rent the film anyway, saying that, as long as there was no nudity, it would be appropriate for her children to watch. This same interaction appears in the film, although this time the woman has an infant instead of a toddler and she is asking about the appropriateness of the film Blood Cult (1985).

Goofs
During one of the film's segments, "The Vampire Takes A Bride", the vampire steps in front of a mirror and casts a reflection. According to vampire lore, vampires cannot cast reflections in mirrors.

Not the worst

Alright....so the story was kind of goofy.....so the movie was filmed with a home video camera....so the actors were wooden...WHO CARES??? Did you not see the video box?? I didn't expect much when I rented this...and that is what i got. If you have 90 minutes to spare, than rent this piece of crap. It's really kind of funny. The '80's styles are funny enough...but what really got me was the fact that the main characters were SHOCKED that everyone in town actually OWNED a VCR! The times they are a'changing....
