* Me: stumbles on a terrible cheesy vampire movie I've never seen or heard of before.
Me: This is very '80's. How did I not see this at some point? Let's see, it has full on goth characters and I would have seen it if it was released while I was in high School, so '89 or '90 at the latest as there's no one wearing full on early '90's clothes.
Me: Checks. 1990. Ha!

Later: This is quite possibly the worst dorky white person rap I’ve ever seen, and the rock is almost as bad. I say almost as it’s not possible to be as embarrassingly awful as the white guy vampire rap, though clearly they tried to reach that low bar.

Even later: Really? This whole scenario was basically a shaggy dog story type set up for a mildly racy...joke is the wrong word. to be a joke it needs to actually be funny.
