Story
Teen Charlie is a big fan of horror movies. One day he notices some oddities behind his neighbor and, following him, discovers that he is a real vampire. His neighbor does not like the disclosure of his secret and he is going to destroy Charlie. No one is going to help him, because no one believes in vampires. Both his girlfriend and the police refuse to help. To save, Charlie turns to the famous host of the program “Night of Fear” thinking that he knows everything about vampires. As it turns out later, Charlie is a little mistaken.
