Once Bitten

Once Bitten (1985) is an American horror comedy directed by Howard Storm that you can watch online on iFILM. Lauren Hutton plays the Countess, a 400-year-old vampire who owes her looks entirely to an annual supply of virgin blood — and Halloween is close.

Mark (Jim Carrey, 23 and still two years from his break-out) can't convince his girlfriend Robin (Karen Kopins) to sleep with him. The Countess finds him at a Hollywood nightclub, takes him home, and by morning he can't quite recall the evening. What follows is slow and strange: he starts flinching at daylight, ordering his steak raw, and eyeing people's necks. Cleavon Little plays the Countess's long-suffering butler. The Countess needs two more visits before Halloween to complete the transformation — and Robin has other plans.

This is firmly 1985 teen comedy: broad, cheerful, zero pretense. It matters mainly as a time capsule of early Carrey — the physical instincts are already fully there, even when the material isn't. Stream Once Bitten (1985) online on iFILM.
