Vamps Plot Summary

What happens in Vamps from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

BFF takes on a whole new meaning as Goody (played by Alicia Silverstone) and Stacey (the striking Krysten Ritter, a reincarnation of Bettie Page) venture into the nightlife together. Goody, a relic from the past born in 1841, has had an exceedingly long existence, having been transformed into a vampire by the stem vampire Cisserus. Unlike her more ruthless counterparts, she prefers a diet of rats over humans, embracing her softer side. The excitement of the Roaring Twenties, marked by the emergence of flappers, invigorates her as she reminisces about times less oppressive.
