    The biggest hobby of vampire enthusiast Charlie Brevis ( William Ragsdale ) is watching horror movies in the middle of the night. One night, two uninvited guests arrived in the empty house next door. Based on years of experience in watching horror movies, Charlie concluded that the two must be vampires.

      [Jerry drags Charley along one of the bedroom walls by the throat]
