Dan Curtis young children saved the TV series as it was given just a month left of this flailing project, when his young children suggested bring a Vampire into the show, it was saved, NOT Mr. Curtis' idea. Then Dan had the GALL to threaten John Frid to appear in this film or he would kill off this character on the TV series. Mr. Frid felt it would permanently type cast him, & refused to be in this film. Curtis killed him off and in very short order the long standing TV series was cancelled. Enough said about the significance of this dismal film.
