Transylmania Movie Trailer: Finally, A Vampire Movie Spoof

Even before the Twilight revolution, vampires were in. Before pink was the new black, vampire movies were making their way into the mainstream with a vengeance. And now, with franchises like the aforementioned teen broodfest Twilight and the low-down and dirty HBO series True Blood, it seems that we just can’t escape the fangs of a vampire-crazy culture. Which makes the whole thing ripe for spoofing.

Enter brothers David and Scott Hillenbrand, the writer/director team behind such gems as King Cobra, National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze and the ever-popular Dorm Daze 2. They are taking the vampire fad to task in their new movie, Transylmania, a spoof that appears to be one part Twilight, one part wannabe Monster Squad (I stress the word wannabe) and one part ever other National Lampoons Presents movie of the past 5 years. Except, based on the trailer below, this movie looks downright awful. Not awful in the Friedberg/Seltzer sense, but not far off. The only thing we can hope for is that the movie is smarter than what we’re seeing here (which I doubt) and that they stay on the topic of vampires (if Amy Winehouse shows up in this movie, I’m going on a killing spree). All I know is that it’s clearly no Lesbian Vampire Killers.

Transylmania is in theaters (or on DVD, I can’t tell) December 4, 2009. Check out the trailer below, courtesy of Yahoo Movies.

  • Man don't even joke about anything related to Dorm Daze. Shit is so bad it's not even ok to joke that it's not. Dorm Daze is one of like only 2 or 3 movies, ever, that I've not been able to finish in a timely fashion. I had to take like a 3 month break from it and finished it later on HBO.

    It's so bad, they even made a SECOND one (if that even makes sense)! They are out to sea on a cruise ship...with pretty much the same cast as not only the first DD, but this new vampire movie, as well. Before I even read the article above (but after viewing the trailer), I knew it was from the same group of people.

    I think the last truly decent/good spoof movie was Not Another Teen Movie. All that have come afterwards are just plain bad.

    It looks like it could be funny...I wouldn't say it looks as bad as the National Lampoon direct-to-DVD flicks...the kid from Cabin Fever as a vampire hunter was sort of cool...I am on the same page about zero star parodies and it isn't even directly parodying Twilight...so it could be worth a rental down the line...
