Lionsgate Home Entertainment announced today the April 14th release of THE LOST COLLECTION, DVD releases of eight fun theatrical films from the 1980s featuring the “best films you totally forgot about.” Included in the collection are SLAUGHTER HIGH, REPOSSESSED and MY BEST FRIEND IS A VAMPIRE. Read on for a look at each film and the cover art.
My Best Friend is a Vampire Synopsis: A young student finds himself being transformed into a vampire after a night with a quite attractive female vampire. First, he does not quite believe it himself, but with the help of a 300 year old teacher and the handbook Vampirism – A Guide to an Alternative Lifestyle, he finds out that blood does not taste as bad as he expected. Of course, he does not bite women, as a good guy he sticks to pig blood which is offered by the local butcher as a special offer for vampires. Trouble rises when a vampire hunter tries to track him down with wooden sticks and silver bullets.

Slaughter High Synopsis: A group of popular students play a cruel prank on a shy nerd resulting in a terrible accident. Years later, a reunion is held and each of the students face a stalker who may be the same nerd out for revenge.

Repossessed Synopsis: It’s been some time since Father Jebedaiah Mayii exorcised the devil from little Nancy Aglet. Now, years later, Nancy has grown up and has a family, but the demon returns to repossess her. With Father Mayii unwilling to help, another priest agrees to help her even when a television reporter plans to air the exorcism live.
