The bastard child of “Dracula” and “The Breakfast Club,” with a lot more blood, and music. There’s sex, rocket propelled grenades, and piss made of holy water. There’s also a ghost vampire, or vampire ghost. Interchangeable terms? I don’t know.

Fans of horror and teen comedies will see a raucous and laugh out loud pairing of the genres in Ghost of Dracula. With a unique young voice at its helm (age 21), the show makes even school yard death threats and hard drug addictions hilarious. It opens Friday the 13th for a reason!

The Ghost of Dracula lives, rising from the ashes of his demise like a phoenix. That is, if a phoenix were the most heinously evil force to ever set foot on God’s Earth, determined to take over the world one Transylvanian High School at a time. Nytheatre.com says the show “deserves an award for most appropriate use of multimedia and funniest incarnation of Dracula yet.” New York theater goers are screaming, “Yes please!” for Ghost of Dracula.
