Beverly Hills Vamp
1989 film by Fred Olen Ray
Beverly Hills Vamp is a 1989 direct to video comedy horror film directed by Fred Olen Ray and starring Eddie Deezen and Britt Ekland.
Plot
Three nerds, Kyle, Brock and Russell want to make a film, so they take their script to Brock's uncle Aaron Pendleton, a "famous" film director in Hollywood. While Uncle Aaron is reading the script, the boys do a little sightseeing.
First stop is a call girl service in Beverly Hills where they meet Madame Cassandra and her girls; Jessica, Claudia and Kristina, all of whom are vampires. Kyle, trying to be faithful to his girlfriend Molly, leaves the brothel.
When neither Brock nor Russell return home that night, Kyle revisits the brothel. He finds that no one remembers his friends. Kyle goes to the police, but they advise him to wait until his friends show up. Becoming worried, Kyle calls Molly, who catches the next flight to Hollywood.
While explaining the disappearance to Uncle Aaron, Brock shows up, looking pale and clammy and with two bites on his neck.
