Best friends Darren and Steve sneak out one night to attend the traveling freak show on the edge of town. One of the acts involves a large spider that Darren is enthralled with - he loves spiders. Steve, who loves vampires, thinks the spiders owner, Mr. Crepsley, is a vampire.After the show, Darren sneaks into the dressing room and steals the spider. Steve sneaks back stage to ask Crepsley to make him a vampire since he has a horrible home life and no real reason to live. Crepsley refuses.
The vampires have split into two groups, the Vampanese who kill humans, and the Vampires who do not. Crepsley is with the latter as they figured out if you only knock someone out and drink a little of their blood, you can live peacefully without being pursued by angry mobs.
When Darren brings the spider to school, it bites Steve who falls into a coma. Desperate to revive his friend, Darren makes a deal with Crepsley to become a vampire and be Crepsley's assistant. When Steve finds out, he is furious as he was desperate to become a vampire. He is easily recruited by Mr. Tiny, who works with the Vampanese and is an enemy of Crepsley. The two sides have been at peace for years, but Mr. Tiny is trying to start a war between them.
This movie is a kid friendly and entertaining. It's production values and story telling are so much better than the low budget stuff I usually watch. But if you're looking for something scary, this isn't it.
