Interesting facts

Rockula is a 1990 American comedy-musical film directed by Luca Bercovici and written by Bercovici, Jefery Levy, and Chris Ver Weil. The story centers on a vampire under a curse; the tagline for the film is: "He's a vampire that hasn't scored in 400 years—tonight's the night!". Dean Cameron stars as the vampire Ralph LaVie, Toni Basil plays Phoebe LaVie, Ralph's mother, and Thomas Dolby is the villain Stanley.

Production

Principal filming for Rockula was actually completed in 1988. At the time, both New World and Cannon Pictures were filing for bankruptcy. Consequently, several of the films the two companies made, which were ready for release, got shelved. The films made by New World eventually found decent distribution and their film Warlock actually wound up being a huge hit on home video.
