Peter refuses to help Charley and reveals that both of his parents were killed by a vampire (later revealed to be Jerry himself). Amy is kissed, bitten, and possessed by Jerry, who proceeds to take her. They then run into a club, where they get separated in the crowd. Meanwhile, Amy shoots Jerry with silver bullets, which are rather ineffective, but then injures Jerry with holy water. As they fight, Ed lets all of his anger out on his opponent and Charley reluctantly kills Ed. By now, Ed has been fully transformed into a vampire and he aids Jerry in attacking Charley, Amy, and Peter.

Upon arriving at Peter's penthouse, he is informed of the species of vampire when Ed turns up. Jane is admitted to a hospital, where Charley is summoned by Peter. Jerry catches up with them, but is wounded by Jane with a real estate sign stake. Charley, Jane, and his girlfriend, Amy Peterson, flee through the desert in their minivan. Jerry comes to Charley's house and sets fire to it. Peter, however, does not take him seriously and kicks him out. Charley goes to Las Vegas magician Peter Vincent, a supposed expert on vampires. As Jerry begins to attack more people throughout the neighborhood, Charley sneaks into Jerry's house and finds out that he keeps his victims in secret rooms. The next day, Charley realizes that Ed is missing and decides to investigate, starting to believe Ed's claims when he discovers video recordings of objects moving on their own, with Ed's voiceover revealing that he is recording Jerry to prove that his reflection does not show up in recordings. Ed succumbs and willingly allows Jerry to bite him. Jerry soon chases Ed into a nearby pool and convinces him into believing that his life would be much better if he were a vampire. On his way home, Ed is confronted by Jerry, who claims that he has been watching Ed and has been aware of Ed watching him. Fed-up and angry with Ed after he claims that Jerry is a vampire, Charley tells him that he is crazy and that he does not want to be friends anymore. When Charley goes home after school, his mother, Jane, introduces him to Jerry Dandrige, their new neighbor. Charley's old best friend, Edward "Evil Ed" Lee, informs him that many students have gone missing, including their other childhood friend, Adam Johnson. Charley Brewster is a teenager living in a suburb of Las Vegas, Nevada, who discovers that a new neighbor has moved in next door.
