Once Bitten (40th anniversary)

from Release Date Rewind · host Straw Hut Media

An '80s campy comedy is just what we need in this crazy world, so it's time to rewind to 1985 again! Mark welcomes Brian C. Tyler on the show to go to seedy Hollywood where horny teen boys go to meet older ladies and a 400 year old "woman vampire." They celebrate the 40th anniversary of the very fun movie - and great theme song - Once Bitten, which was Jim Carrey's feature film debut, and a star was born! This movie has an epic dance number, gay jokes, butts, Megan Mullally, and lots of buttons. Also, shout-out to similar 1985 hits Fright Night, Teen Wolf, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, plus the men of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
