There\u2019s an antiques store about to open, run by the mysterious Richard Straker and his unseen partner Mr. Barlow, and they\u2019re living in the Marsten House. A series of deaths and disappearances leads Ben to believe that a vampire is feeding on the town. But how can he stop them, and will anyone believe him?<\/p>\n

Master of horror Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist) directs from a script by Carrie producer Paul Monash.<\/p>\n
