Marty Riccardo sent this bit of fanged holiday fun:

Nothing stimulates a bright young mind like a trip studying abroad. Within a top-notch program, students can immerse themselves in a new language, explore a new culture, make new friends, and truly mature as a result.

Unfortunately, that program rejected this bunch.

In “Transylmania,” a motley group of college students embarks on the wildest, sexiest, most outrageous semester abroad ever at Razvan University. Located deep in the heart of the “cursed land” of Transylvania in a centuries-old castle, Razvan isn’t your typical institution of higher learning – and the black leather-clad professors, three-foot-tall dean, instruction in crucifix-wielding, and topless vampiresses lurking in dark corners are just the start. It seems Castle Razvan was home to a band of vampires led by the feared Vampire King Radu during the dark ages.

Sure, classes like Garlic Growing 101, Advanced Wooden Stake Whittling and Crossbow for Dummies gave our gang pause – but the extracurricular activities at Razvan rock, and these students are fitting right in. Rusty is preparing to meet his oversexed Romanian Internet girlfriend, Draguta, and stoners Pete and Wang are successfully “avoiding stress” and searching for the ultimate high with sexy fellow student Danni – who’s still trying to get her identical twin sister Lia to loosen up a little. Newmar and Lynne are spicing up their love life, and Cliff is embarking on a new vocation as a vampire slayer – if he doesn’t slay himself first.

But when Newmar gives Lynne an ancient music box and she mistakenly unleashes a centuries-old curse, these students find themselves locked in an epic battle between the unwitting and the undead. Radu – who bears an uncanny resemblance to Rusty – has a score to settle.

Meanwhile, Draguta’s father has concocted a dastardly plan to create an attractive new body for his hunchbacked daughter in a secret lab, and he’s got his eye on Lia.

A bubbling cauldron of off-the-wall horror spoof, vampire action-adventure, and naughty college comedy, “Transylmania” culminates in a side-splitting climax that just might leave our bumbling heroes not Euro-trashed, but Euro-slashed.
