The Drama School From Hell
Jon Jory
Count Cosmo Dracula and family move into the Hollywood mansion left them by their Uncle Igor, and decide to open up a summer camp to make some money.
They don't exactly get the class of campers they expected - they get a trio of nerds, in fact, but that's ok, since the courses the Draculas are offering aren't your usual run of the mill basket-weaving types of classes.
Granny makes creatures in her lab, not brownies.
Science teacher Wendy wants to start off with explosives, and mom Dracula Malicia, whose father was a Frankenstein, wonders if she couldn't teach brain surgery.
But snobbish Sybil and her cheerleading proteges, along with their frat friends don't feel that people like the Draculas and the nerds belong in their lovely little world.
They're determined to close down the camp!
The war between the nerds and the snobs is on!
