Production
[edit]Principal photography took place in Ave Maria, Florida for thirty days during the summer of 2014.[1]
According to Chuck Ardezzone, the film created more than 50 jobs and worked with 34 local businesses during the movie shooting.[1]
According to Tony Schweikle, "Burt Reynolds was on tap to play the father vampire, but then right before we finished the contract, he got very sick and couldn’t do it. Tony Randel knew one of Paul Sorvino’s daughters, and we offered Paul a script. Unbeknownst to us, he accepted and did the film for minimal money because he always wanted to play Bela Lugosi! We never knew that, but he’s talked about that in several interviews. It was serendipity."[2]
Awards
[edit]The film won the Best Feature Comedy Film Award at the 20th annual International Family Film Festival (IFFF) in Santa Clarita, California.[1]
