Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Vamps


Some nice girls bite, but they can party like they are never going to die! Stacy and Goody are two vampires living the good life in New York City. Goody was turned in 1841 by the vampire queen Ciccerus. She struggled with her long life as a vampire until Stacy was turned by Ciccerus sometime during the early 1990s. Goody was able to teach Stacy how to use her new abilities, like sustaining themselves on rat blood, while Stacy educated Goody on how to have fun. Goody keeps her actual age a secret because she is afraid of being viewed as old. While working at a hospital as exterminators, Goody runs into her ex-boyfriend Danny, whom she has not seen since the 1960s. They re-connect under the pretense that she is a Goody's daughter, but Danny eventually learns the truth when he sees her bite into another man to prevent a stroke. When he asks why she left him, Goody explains that even though she loved him, she did not want to stand in his way of finding someone he can actually build a life with. Meanwhile, Stacy begins a relationship with an older college student named Joey. She later discovers he is the son of vampire slayer Dr. Van Helsing, who is in town to find and kill vampires. After spending the night at Joey's place, he sees Stacy crawl down the side of his apartment building in order to get home before the sun rises. Despite his initial shock, Joey accepts that Stacy is a vampire and the two resume dating. When Stacy begins to experience strange vomiting, it's revealed that she is actually pregnant, but that the baby won't survive unless she becomes human again. In a side story, Danny is recruited to help the vampire community. As an activist for the ACLU, he helps to modify or erase the records being used to track and hunt them by Van Helsing and his assistants. Later, at the vampire support meeting celebration of renewed freedom, Goody discovers that if their maker or "stem" Ciccerus is ever killed, they would revert to their human ages. Goody tells Stacy that they must become human again in order for her to stay pregnant, and the two decide being young is getting old. Goody then goes to Dr. Van Helsing to get his help killing Ciccerus. When he asks why she become a vampire, Goody explained that her family died during a cholera epidemic and that she had to protect her two young children. Van Helsing's assistant looks up Goody's living descendants, most of them being doctors, teachers, and politicians, securing her legacy. The girls team up with Joey and Dr. Van Helsing to track down Ciccerus and kill her, saving the baby. Stacy looks relatively the same despite being forty years old, but Goody rapidly ages into an old woman. Revealing her actual age, Goody accompanies Joey and Stacy to Times Square, where Goody reminisces about her life. As the sun rises, she disintegrates into ash. A few years later, Stacy and Joey show up at Dr. Van Helsing's house to pick up their young daughter, whom they have named Goody. As Van Helsing plays with his granddaughter, he notices that the little girl sports a set of vampire fangs.

Best part of story, including ending: It was an interesting turn on the classic vampire story, with vampires just trying there very best to get by and maybe have a spot of fun along the way.

Best scene in story: When Goody reaches out to Van Helsing to help Stacy, she gains entrance to his house by calling him "grandpa".

Opinion about the main character: Goody is a really nice person, who has just grown tired of constantly trying to keep up with the fast pace of the 21st century. Her insight into the constant changes is striking and also a sad commentary on modern life.
