Impressively bad. It's no understatement to say that this movie fails on every level. This is a horror comedy that can't manage to surpass even the worse horror movies I have watched, and the humor bombs for the full runtime. I really just don't know how this could be produced and no one pulled the plug during the process. So, what is this train wreck about? A family moves into a house. A married vampire couple want a book within the house. That's really it. There's no story here. There's zero character development. There is no tension, no payoff. This is just a collection of scenes that go nowhere and do nothing. I'm just in awe of how every element of this film is bad. If you want to see a good version of what _Saturday the 14th_ was trying to do, watch _Hell Baby_ (2013).

Not really watchable. Not even so bad it is good. Just so bad. Monster effects, somehow, were decent. Comedy, script, acting (despite good cast), direction, catering....everything else was terrible! I'm just guessing about the catering.

I don’t know what to say about this one, at least it was short.

***Fun horror spoof, albeit one-dimensional and underwhelming***

A normal family (Richard Benjamin, Paula Prentiss, et al.) inherits a creepy mansion in Erie, Pennsylvania, but a centuries-old vampire & his bride (Jeffrey Tambor & Nancy Lee Andrews) are also interested in the house. Severn Darden More
