Mi abuelo es un vampiro

I don't know much about the director or the writer, but the set up here has a older man in a lot of make up, who states the myths and movie representations of vampires are wrong, flamboyantly running around at night with two young boys, even dancing a ring-around-the-rosey with them, talking about going and finding freedom and love and understanding. I'm not sure what the point was with his vampirism, as it has no bearing in the world of horror, and the only reason for his existence seems to be a sympathetic representation for some unstated life style. I don't know but it wasn't the best of cinema. Tragic what later happens with the main kid.

My Grandpa is a Vampire is a good family comedy film that stars Al Lewis! Yes Grandpa of The Munsters! Also in this picture are Justin Gocke, Milan Borich, Pat Evison, Noel Appleby, David Weatherley, Sean Duffy, Sylvia Rands, and Phoebe Falconer. The acting by all of these actors is very good. Al Lewis is really fantastic in this film. I thought that his performance was really wonderful! I am amazed by his performance. If you love how he was in thew legendary show "The Munsters" then you will love him here as well! All of the other actors are good as well. The suspense is good. The special effects are good. The movie is filmed differently and great. The music is good. The film is very interesting and funny and the movie really keeps you entertained! If you like Al Lewis and the rest of the cast in the film, and want to see Lewis in another great performance, Family films, Comedy, and little bit of Horror and interesting films then I strongly recommend that you see this film today!

Actor Al Lewis began his career with an uncredited part in a '50s vampire movie (I Vampiri), and is best known for playing a vampire in The Munsters in the '60s. And he was still flashing those fangs and swishing his cape in the '90s, starring in children's comedy/horror movie My Grandpa is a Vampire (AKA Moonrise).

When it comes to kids' movies, I prefer it if there is something for the adults to enjoy as well, but My Grandpa is a Vampire is strictly for the young ones: the humour is aimed squarely at pre-teens and the creepiness is kept to a minimum. I imagine most grown-ups will find the film quite difficult to sit through. Of course, that doesn't mean that it is a terrible film - just not designed for an old git like myself.

Lewis plays vampire Vernon Cooger, who has lived his whole life as a human, raising a family and never once touching a drop of blood. When Vernon pops his clogs of old age, his grandson Lonny (Justin Gocke) is very upset, but vampires never really die, and his grandpa rises from his coffin to continue cracking bad jokes and performing magic tricks for Lonny and his best pal Kanzoria (Milan Borich). Keeping grandpa's secret hidden proves tricky, however, and when nosey neighbour Ernie (Noel Appleby) discovers that Vernon is a vampire, he begins sharpening some stakes...

The gags in this one are childish and the story is puerile, perfect for undemanding kids who want to watch something silly and spooky (and who don't mind outdated special effects). My advice is to stick this on the telly for the tikes, and then find something better to watch for yourself.

it was the summer of 93' and in my bored childhood i meanderd along shawlands road in glasgow. on this warm day it was perhaps the only time that year that i had wanted to be home. i headed home and this time took another route. on this route i stumbled upon a video rental shop untill now unknown to me. i slowly opened the door and pushed away the hanging string beads. and old lady with hair as dark as the night looked down on me. she was fat, about fourteen stone and i jerked back as i noticed the boil on her cheeck. she watched me as a hawk, suspiciously. her phone rang and she went behind a door to andswer it. There, behind the desk, glowing in majesty, was a video tape hidden from the world. my curios mind ticked over with questions, before i even considerd what i had done my hand was behind the counter. i opened the door to leave and i heard the gypsey woman shout "child, you leave this shop with that video and i promise you will regret it". i ignored her advice and ran like the wind, it took me 20 minuets to get home, i was horribly out of breath. Then, locking myself in my bedroom i slapped it on. the minuets past, the mytic ways of this video were undeniable, for the gypsey was right, i did regret taking what i now regard as the worst video i have ever viewed.
