My Best Friend Is a Vampire

My Best Friend Is a Vampire (1987) is a teen horror-comedy you can watch online on iFILM, starring a very young Robert Sean Leonard.

High schooler Jeremy Capello finally lands the date of his dreams — with an older woman who happens to have fangs. Soon he can't stand garlic, casts no reflection in the mirror, and is quietly turning into a vampire himself. He hides it from his parents and his crush while a self-styled vampire hunter, convinced Jeremy is a murderous fiend, closes in.

It's a breezy slice of late-'80s genre fluff: horror with the scares dialed way down, a coming-of-age comedy with bite. Watch for David Warner, René Auberjonois and a pre-stardom Kathy Bates in the supporting cast. Easy, nostalgic Friday-night viewing. Stream My Best Friend Is a Vampire online on iFILM.
