Event Details
Friendless, plagued by nightmares, Tony Thompson, 8, struggles to adapt to his new home in Scotland and reconcile his obsession with vampires. His nightmares seem to come true when he meets child vampire Rudolph, though the two boys quickly become friends when they realize Tony’s nightmares contain essential information for Rudolph to break a centuries-old curse. Based on Angela Sommer-Bodenburg's children’s book series of the same name, this charming and whimsical tale of finding friendship in unlikely places is populated with eerie cemeteries, beautifully designed aristocratic costumes, and, of course, vampire cows.
