Short summary

Jonathan is a modern teenage vampire who wants his date with a human girl to go well. His archaic vampire father, Petyr, also wants the date to go well, but he soon becomes an undead third wheel.

In the film's script, the character Jonathan says "Jesus" when startled by Petyr after Lucy has left the apartment. During filming, the line was changed to the improvised "Antichrist" instead.

In the script, Jonathan is shown brushing his hair in front of a mirror, with the brush shown floating in midair, since vampires are said to not have reflections. Though it was planned for this shot to be completed in post-production using Adobe After Effects, it was deemed too difficult for the time constraints of post-production and was left out of the final film.

The original script was significantly different from the final film. Initially, the Petyr and Lucy characters did not appear whatsoever, and the story instead focused on a pair of vampire roommates who suspect that their neighbor is a vampire hunter. At the time, this draft of the film was titled "High Stakes".

Petyr's line "If you're going to visit the house of a young lady, you must bring protection", was originally intended as an homage to the line "If you want to make out with a young lady, take her to see 'Dracula (1931)'", spoken by Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood (1994).
