My Best Friend Is a Vampire
Shortly after high school student Jeremy Capello goes on a hot date, he finds he can't stand garlic or see his reflection in mirrors.
Why it matters
A teen vampire comedy that blends ’80s suburban awkwardness with classic monster mythos for a playful cult gem.
- Pitch-perfect blend of high school coming-of-age angst and vampire lore, predating the teen supernatural boom.
- John Shepherd’s earnest turn as Jeremy grounds the zany script with genuine charm and awkwardness.
- Practical effects and makeup deliver light, goofy vampire touches that capture the era’s DIY spirit.
- For fans of lighthearted genre mashups and ’80s horror comedies that don’t take themselves too seriously.
