It's been a hassle, all those years with vampires vs. humans. So, it seemed the right time for the vampires to live in peace in an old ghost town with their sun block 30, etc., and artificial blood made from plants. When the blood plant does not produce enough blood, its designer David Harrison (Jim Metzler) and his wife Sarah (Morgan Brittany) arrive in the ghost town and find themselves in the middle of trouble. There are those fundamentalists, led by Jefferson (John Ireland), who want the real thing and are ready to rise up against the peaceful vampire leader, Count Mardulak (David Carradine), who ordered the blood plant as a method of integrating the vampires into the human world. War it shall be.

The Whole Wide World 1996 PG, 105 min. Genre: Drama / Romance
Director: Dan Ireland Cast: Vincent D'Onofrio, Renee Zellweger, Ann Wedgeworth, Benjamin Mouton, Chris Shearer, Harve Presnell, Michael Corbett, Helen Cates, Marion Eaton, Leslie Berger, Libby Villari, Dell Aldrich, Elzabeth D'Onofrio, Antonia Bogdanovich, Sandy Walper
This film–based on retired schoolteacher Novalyne Price Ellis' memoirs, "One Who Walked Alone"–tells the story of her youthful 1930s' romance with pulp writer Robert E. Howard. Seen through Novalyne's (Renee Zellweger) eyes, this is a sympathetic story of Howard (Vincent D'Onofrio) who comes equipped with too much emotional baggage to carry on a love affair. What Novalyne and Robert DO have is a common love of writing, but that alone cannot keep them together.
