Director/writer Frank Darabont ( Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) joins Tim onstage.
Frank and Tim expound upon the bloody joys of Count Yorga, Vampire The Count joins his admirers up front and center as the fans "howl" with glee.
Robert Quarry takes the mic. Robert gave the basic rundown of the first film. Cheap! But despite the budget and shooting conditions it was the number one money-maker for a low-budget film during the year of its release.
The second Yorga film benefited from a larger budget and better production values, especially the cinematography. Actress Donna Anders from the first Yorga film!

Frank, Robert, Tim and Donna pose for the large crowd of fans.
