Line 9:
Mark, frustrated by Robin's refusal to give him any, goes into LA. The Countess spots him, and decides to take his blood for her youth and add him to her coterie of [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|immortal teenage]] vampires. Robin knows something's up -- will [[The Power of Love]] be enough to pull Mark back from the clutches of an undead seductress?
 
{{tropelist}}

=== This film provides examples of the following tropes: ===
 
* [[Age Without Youth]]: The Countess' fate when she isn't able to drink from Mark the third time -- in time.
* [[Auto Erotica]]: Mark seeing the parking lot of cars bouncing and shaking with other people having sex after getting the cold shoulder from Robin. Ouch... just ouch.
Line 36 ⟶ 33:
** The librarian still makes fun of Mark, saying that if he's an 18-year old virgin, a vampire trying to get him should be the least of his worries.
* [[Mate or Die]]: If Mark loses his virginity before the Countess can drink from him for the third time, his blood becomes worthless to her.
* [[Mistaken For Gay]]: A now controversial scene played for laughs. Robin asks Mark's friends to check if Mark has been bitten. In this case, the Countess bit him on the inner thigh. They wait until they are in the showers with Mark and rush him in an attempt to check. Prompting the other jocks to label them gay. Later on Mark talks to them about it, [[Could Have Avoided This Plot|saying that they could have asked.]] Prompting them to be horrified at the thought that they may actually be gay.
* [[My Girl Is Not a Slut]]: Robin pretty much embodies this, to Mark's frustration.
* [[Nature Abhors a Virgin]]: The movie begins with Robin balking at going all the way.
Line 47 ⟶ 45:
* [[Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness]]: Despite needing a [[Virgin Power|virgin "sacrifice"]], the countess and her coven seemed to be in the middle of friendliness scale. As befits a light comedy, the death in her wake was a big 'ol zero, and there were no morality shifts or ravening thirst. The Countess herself was pretty friendly for an evil seductress, and two girls from the coterie and Mark's friends got on pretty well.
** [[Poke the Poodle]]: About the only "evil" thing the Countess did was to push over an old lady and a nun who were in her way -- the latter of which was merely someone in a costume.
* [[Smoking Hot Sex]]: After Mark and Robin have sex to save him from The Countess, they both come out of the coffin smoking cigarettes. Mark especially giving out a large grin only Jim Carrey could pull off.
* [[Speed Sex]]: How Mark and Robin eventually render him ineligible for the Countess's attentions.
{{quote|'''The Countess:''' {incredulous} You've had ''less than a minute''!}}
* [[Vampires Are Sex Goddesses]]: In a last ditch effort to sway Mark, the Countess offers him pleasures he's never known as both a mortal, a virgin and a teenager.
* [[Vampire Dance]]: Robin and the Countess have a dance-off/tug of war over and with Mark -- to a song called "[http://youtu.be/fuk--kEGvGE Hands Off]," yet.
* [[Virgin Power]]: The only reason the Countess is interested in Mark -- because his virgin blood keeps her young and beautiful.
