This is one of my favorite 80's movies. It's kind of a spoof on old vampire movies at some parts, especially the way people act when they get attacked by the vampires. Michael (Patric) and Sam (Haim) have just moved with their mother (Dianne Wiest) to the sleepy coastal town called Santa Carla, in California. They soon learn that Santa Carla is not as sleepy as it first appears and is actually called the Murder Captial of the World. As the brothers explore the town, Michael meets up with Star (Jami Gertz), a beautiful and mysterious girl that hangs out with David (Sutherland) and his creepy band of teenage criminals. As Michael starts to get in trouble with David and his friends, Sam meets the Frogg brothers, Edgar (Corey Feldman) and Allen (Jamison Newlander), who claim they are vampire hunters. In addition to Santa Carla being the murder capitol of the world, it is also full of vampires, who are responsible for most of those murders. The more Sam starts to hang out with the Frogg brothers, the more that he sees strange changes going on in Michael. After Michael almost attacks him one night, it becomes clear that Sam will need Edgar and Allen's help to get rid of the other vampires and help bring his brother back.
