Attendees at a Horror-Film convention in San Francisco are pleased when the guest-of-honor is a popular actor, Malakai (Jerry Walter), who plays a vampire in his films. But when it becomes clear that he is REALLY a vampire, steps must be taken by some of the vampire "experts" at the convention. A somewhat fun spoof of the genre.
