I was a bit of a wimp before I entered my teen years.
So I stayed away from anything vampire. My first vampire experience was Love at First Bite, and not knowing it was a comedy.
I put on a brave face fore the friend that invited me and entered the movie theater terrified by what I would see. Luckly the evenly tanned George Hamilton awaited me. along with some might impressive disco dancing. The scary blood suckers would have to wait to frighten me.
