Story of the Movie
This movie is about the Hansen family and a very unusual date. Two of the kids, Adam and Chelsea, are grounded. They really want to go out! Adam wants to see a concert, and Chelsea has a date with her boyfriend.
How the Date Happens
To get their mom, Lynette, out of the house, Adam and Chelsea try to set her up on a date. They arrange for her to meet a mysterious man named Dimitri. Everything seems to be going well for their plan.
Taylor's Discovery
Their younger brother, Taylor, who is only 8 years old, starts to notice strange things about Dimitri. He soon realizes that Dimitri might be a vampire. Taylor tries to tell his older siblings, but they don't believe him at first.
Calling a Vampire Hunter
Since his brother and sister don't believe him, Taylor decides to take action himself. He calls a famous vampire hunter named Malachi Van Helsing. Taylor hopes Van Helsing can help prove that Dimitri is a vampire and protect their mom.
The Spoon Test and a Shocking Truth
On the night of the date, Taylor follows his mom and Dimitri. Adam and Chelsea follow Taylor, worried about their punishments. Adam tries to make Taylor stop thinking Dimitri is a vampire by making up a "spoon test." But Adam soon discovers the truth: Dimitri doesn't have a reflection in the mirror, which means Taylor was right all along!
Saving Their Mom
Adam and Chelsea realize their mom is in danger. Dimitri puts Lynette in a trance and plans to take her to his mansion. Meanwhile, Van Helsing arrives, ready to hunt Dimitri. Taylor, who also wants to save his mom, teams up with Van Helsing.
The Final Battle
Taylor, Adam, Chelsea, and Van Helsing all work together to fight Dimitri. Dimitri is very powerful. He tries to bite Adam, but Adam and Chelsea call out to their mom. This breaks Lynette's trance, because true love can break a vampire's spell. Lynette then throws Dimitri into his coffin.
What Happens Next
Van Helsing quickly seals the coffin with special silver-plated nails. He explains that he will send the coffin to a place where the sun always shines. After this adventure, Van Helsing asks Lynette out on a date. But the kids have had enough talk about dates for one night! Lynette tells them she will date, "Just not vampires." The family then heads home for breakfast as the sun rises.
