Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire

Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire

They aren't the only ones dying to get their mom out on a date.

200085 min5.7 / 10

A lighthearted family comedy that plays with vampire tropes as a vehicle for sibling scheming and romantic mishap, grounded in warmth and humor rather than genuine horror.

The Hansen kids are in a jam. Adam and his best friend Duffy have gotten their hands on some tickets for the Headless Horseman concert, and his sister Chelsea has a date with her dreamy boyfriend Peter. The only problem is they're both grounded. Chelsea and Adam will do whatever it takes to get their mom Lynette out of the house, even if it includes a chance meeting with a very mysterious man. Everything seems to go according to plan until their little brother Taylor realizes that this stranger might be a vampire.
