Joe's father has always dreamed of making a vampire movie so the whole family has come on holiday to help him. The only problem is none of the family makes a convincing vampire, so they advertise. But Count Muesli, who auditions for the role, is perfect - a bit too perfect, because he really is a vampire. He's been cast out of Eyetooth, an ancient vampire community high in the hills for refusing to conform to the ancient ways. For example he's a vegetarian! So he can never return. But when Joe's family are imprisoned by the evil Count Fibula, he and Joe have no choice, they must both brave the dangers and save Joe's family.
