American Vampire

a favourite of the dollar bin at Wal-Mart, I finally bought it because it just looked so cheesy. And it is. But don't be fooled! The "Carmen Electra" that it has splayed across the top is a misdirection; she's actually a minor character. They just put her name at top because she's the only famous one from the film.

Basic Information from the Vampire Compendium:
Class: B-movie
Style: horror/humour/"tongue-in-cheek"
Vampire Weaknesses: sunlight, garlic, crosses, stake

Coolest bit: The vampire hunter is a blissed out, mid-fifties surfer, called The Big Kahuna, played by Adam West, and the best scene in the movie is the dialogue between him and the main character, the teenage kid, who calls him a "third-rate Spiccoli," among other lines. West also refers to putting a "stake through the eggbeater." Again, this scene is really the apex of the movie, and if you can watch just the clip of that scene, well, that's all you need.

Digiview Productions. Supposedly 1997, but seriously I think it was filmed a few years earlier, judging from the clothing style and the quality of cinematography.
