Hypnosis leads to no good when a boarding school science teacher throws an old amulet into the mix and turns troubled young Nancy into a monster. “Radiation fears” has the professor believing she can show how there’s more terrifying weapons contained within the human species (harnessed through hypnosis, naturally) than anything one can find by splitting an atom. Her hope is that this proof will lead to the scientific community realizing they don’t need to create new weapons because we are monstrous enough. Of course, the amulet belonged to the world’s most famous blood sucker and the science teacher is a bit more sinister than curious. There’s a girl gang at the school dubbed The Birds of Paradise (and when I say “gang” think more along the lines of Grease as opposed to something Jess Franco would concoct) led by Myra (super sexy Gail Ganley) that set their sights on Nancy. They throw an initiation party (your usual white people shindig) for their newest member and the professor begins her experiment. The performance of Puppy Love by some party-crashing dudes eventually leads to excitement (who can blame them?) which leads to Nancy’s moonlight transformation into a monster and the first murder. The poor young victim is found by the janitor and the blood-drained corpse gets a young coroner believing there’s a vampire hanging around campus. The police aren’t exactly up to following his admittedly dumbass belief but he still holds onto his hunch as the higher-ups tell him to shut his damn mouth. He’ll end up being proven right but only after a few more bodies drop by the hands of the goofy-looking vamp. Graveyard make out sessions, scavenger hunts, wacky eyebrows of evil, mysticism beating a polygraph test and the appearance of Nancy’s goober boyfriend who looks like a knockoff Walton Goggins and may be one the wettest of wet blankets I’ve ever come across in 1950’s schlock add some extra spice to the already silly science-gone-wrong vampire flick.
