Colorful support from Kristy McNichol as a cowgirl, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and the late Hervé Villechaiz (Fantasy Island). --Tom Keogh A young woman visits her recently inherited Italian castle, gets caught in a mysterious love triangle, and discovers that she has also inherited a medieval curse that threatens her livelihood; A vampire feasts upon the blood of strip club clientele while housing her ex-lover--part human/p! art reptile--in a bird cage.
