When Julius offers to get him some food, he flicks a massive gobbet of flesh out of his teeth and announces with a smirk, "I already had Italian." * Made From Real Girl Scouts: See above. * Made of Iron: Max * Magic Pants: Not only do Max's clothes survive all shape-shifts, he can change them into a different outfit and, at the end, when Julius becomes a vampire after putting on Max's ring, he gets a whole new outfit complete with sunglasses and jewelry! * Mood Whiplash: The film tends to be awkward once it comes to transitioning from a vampire film and a Black Comedy. * Moral Event Horizon: Debatable when this happens, some say it involves killing Nicki or maybe shooting a cat. * Mugging the Monster * Old Shame: Both Eddie Murphy and director Wes Craven have pretty much disowned this one. * Our Ghouls Are Creepier * Our Vampires Are Different * Prophetic Dreams * Shape Shifter: Max * Too Kinky to Torture * Uh-Oh Eyes: Max's eyes turn golden when he's doing anything vampiric. * Undeath Always Ends * Vampires Are Sex Gods: Lampshaded furiously at the end when Julius is stunned by how much bigger his dick has become. * What Is Evil?
