Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.
14-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) was like most kids in his suburban neighborhood. He hung out with his best friend, got decent grades and usually stayed out of trouble. But when he and his buddy stumble upon a traveling freak show, things begin to change inside Darren. That’s the exact moment when a vampire named Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly) turns him into something, well, bloodthirsty.

The Vampires Assistant??? What the hell. Cirque Du Freak was a much better title.
Cirque Du Freak was a great series. I’m so happy that they’re making it into a movie-it’s a good change from romantic horror.
This is classical horror, with blood and combat, not dances and kisses.
it worries me that there still isnt a trailer for this but its coming out in october. wtf. -_-
the title is now Cirque du Freak: the vampire assistant. the ppl wanted it to be known that this was about vampires, so they had to put in the vampire assisitant part.
i heard they’re not going to follow the books at all, after the first movie,. and, yeah. they can do that. i know, that sucks!
i am mad that there not going by the book.
but the movie is still gonna be great b/c i have read the series a bunch of times and i love it.
Mr. tall i don’t think they picked the best actor but his deep and sullace voice makes him a good choice.
i just want to see his girlfriend, police officer, and the princes but overall i cant wait!!
