When they receive a flyer with an advertisement for a freak show, they sneak to the theater to see the attractions. The ringmaster is a vampire called Larten Crepsley, that has a lethal spider. After the show, Steve tells Darren to go home. However he returns and overhears Steve unsuccessfully trying to convince Larten to transform him into a vampire. Darren steals Larten's spider which bites Steve later and he seeks out Larten asking for an antidote for his friend. Larten proposes a deal to Darren. |

Goofs

Continuity: When Darren is about to drink Rebecca's blood, she pulls her shirt down and there is a strap still left on her shoulder. When the shot switches to her back, the strap is gone, and upon snapping back to her front, it is there again. Continuity: When Crepsley tells Darren to lick his fingers after the "blooding", Darren starts with the fingers of his left hand except for the littlest. The shot switches to his hand, the cuts he licked heal and when the shot switches back to Darren kneeling he only licks the little finger of his right hand and all the fingers of his left hand again. Revealing mistakes: In the first show, just as Mr.Tall is introducing Madame Truska, as he says "...the exotic...", you can see more light passing through the tips of his unnaturally longer fingers compared to the rest of the finger revealing that the actor is wearing hollow prosthetic to make the fingers appear longer. |
Quotes

Darren Shan: [From Trailer] So do I turn into a bat Larten Crepsley: NO! NO! That is Bullshit. Evra the Snake Boy: [Embarrassed after shaking Darren's hand and leaving some skin behind] Sorry about that, shedding. Itches like crazy. Darren Shan: [slightly disturbed]... right... Evra the Snake Boy: [scratches head sheepishly] Better go wash that, before you get pink eye... Larten Crepsley: Vampires don't need cellphones. Madame Truska: You don't love me anymore... Its my beard. Larten Crepsley: Your mouth says no, but your beard says yes. Larten Crepsley: I don't want you leaving camp anymore. Darren Shan: Why not? Larten Crepsley: Because I said so. Darren Shan: You're not my dad you can't tell me what to do. Larten Crepsley: [vampire pimp slap] Mr. Shan: College! Job! Family! And one day, if you're really lucky, you'll be standing here yelling at a teenager of your own Steve: If you kill your family, i'll let the freak go... wait... my bad it's backwards. If you kill the freak, i'll let your family live! Larten Crepsley: Thank you ladies and gentlemen. I am so excited to be here in an anonymous small town that used to have character but is now just a bland suburb filled with chain stores and surrounded by slum. [awkward silence in audience] It really is a pleasure to be here. And I am SO honoured that bla bla bla and so on and so forth and excetera adnosium. Larten Crepsley: [after Darren enters his room and turns on the light] Nice room. Some excellent reading material you have here. Thought this was on the internet now. Darren Shan: Mine's blocked. Larten Crepsley: Nice night, actually... [points up, causing Darren to look away] Is that the Little Dipper or the Big one? I can never remember it. [Breaks Darren's neck] Sorry about that. I had to do that, or they would never believe you were dead. Don't worry; there's no damage to your spinal cord. And I'll sneak into the funeral home and fix your broken neck. Oh and... Sorry for this next part. Larten Crepsley: [From Trailer] So do I turn into a bat Darren Shan: No! No! That is Bullshit. Darren Shan: I hate you! Steve: I hate you! |
