This was a themed anthology film from 2010 and whilst there are two parts that draw our attention –
Vampire Academy directed by Art Brainard and
Betty Beretta directed by Steven Shea – it receives an honourable mention as it really doesn’t add up to more than a fleeting visitation.
The cover promises “Vampires, Zombies, Aliens…” and it is the latter two that are mostly on show in the segments – all set around the titular Doomsday County, which sits on a gateway to Hell.

Vampire Academy actually opens the film with a knock on a dorm room door heralding the food that has been ordered against college rules, but – as one of the college guys says – sometimes you just have to eat Italian. The ordered food is pizza but, obviously, that is just a ruse and the guy who did the ordering rips the throat out of the pizza delivery guy (Mark Hlavin,
the Absence of Light). Some fangs flashing and that’s about it.

The last segment is
Betty Beretta – a hard rocking action agent played by Tara Lightfoot, who probably deserves her own B movie vehicle. In this she is taking on Aliens and part way through she gets back up in the form of the vampires from the Academy – who apparently don’t get on with the aliens’ green blood. She is also aided by the monster hunting college professor from a previous zombie segment (who actually went around staking the zombies).
And that’s it. A Fleeting visitation adding up to not a lot of screen time but vampires nonetheless. The imdb page is
