Regional horror flick set mostly in an old movie palace in San Francisco. It's directed by John Stanley who hosted the San Francisco area Creature Features on local TV. A horror convention is being held in the movie palace and the appearance of horror icon Malakai is the main attraction. Malakai is a Bela Lugosi-type figure who remains in his vampire character even in real life. Maybe he is a vampire? He's got a couple of henchman providing him with fresh blood, who turn out to be none other than the original Burke and Hare body snatchers from London. They are being pursued by a vampire hunter called "The Avenger". It's not nearly as interesting as it sounds. However, there are plenty of classic movie posters to ogle in the background and a "movie within the movie" that is better than anything in the real movie.
