Band featured in the campy, low-budget cult horror comedy of the same name. The band features nebbishy vampire Ralph LaVie (Dean Cameron), Chuck (Susan Tyrell), and Axman (Bo Diddley in spandex). They try several genres (including country, Dixieland, and mariachi) via a classic early-'90s montage. Oh, and Thomas Dolby plays Stanley, a videographer/coffin salesman (two jobs not often done together) who drives a replica of the Munsters' car.

At one point Ralph sees fliers for several other bands: Saint Vitus, Shel Shoc, and I'm Pregnant with Satan's Baby. Stanley also mentions a new age/reggae act named Marvin Gandhi and the Monkeyshines (which featured Johnny Nietzsche).
