Spoilers ahead
Ralph Lavie Dean Cameron is a friendly vampire who is 400 years old and still lives with his mother Phoebe Toni Basil, another immortal. He carries a strange curse that began long ago when he met the girl of his dreams in 1682—Mona Tawny Fere—but she was killed by her jealous pirate lover. Since then, Mona has been reincarnated every 22 years, always falling in love with Ralph and dying in the exact same Halloween-night tragedy: slain by a rhinestone-peg-legged pirate wielding a giant hambone. Now in 1990, Ralph, weary of the cycle, vows to stay hidden in his room until after Halloween, much to the chagrin of his sentient and libidinous reflection, a constant reminder of the curse.
