Dracula's Boarding School

Synopsis:
after inheriting Uncle George's country mansion, Lou excitedly packs his bags and decides to explore his uncle's sprawling country estate with his friend, Casey. Expecting to find a palatial mansion on a peaceful back road not far from town, Lou and Casey discover a dilapidated old home with curtains made out of cobwebs and a spooky coffin in the middle of the room. Tired and hungry, the boys decide to search for food and a place to sleep and soon discover they're being watched by Dracula's hungry wives, Lydia age 472, Elena, 95 years younger, and Shy, no spring chicken. This leads to a ravenous romp as Lou and Casey try to avoid becoming dinner for this group of restless, not to mention, fanged women.

Education Of Angels, The

Synopsis:
Nick and Jenna are two angels in training who are about to be sent back to Earth for their final exam. The problem is, these two can't seem to get along, which leads to a pretty competitive situation. When they return to Earth, they find Dave, a guy who is even more mixed-up than they are. He is at the church, long before he should be on his wedding day, trying to decide whether he should go forward with the wedding. Throw in a domineering ex-wife and the fact that Dave is the only one that can see the angels. . .and only one of them. . .and comic situations ensue. There is a serious side though, as we see Nick struggling to understand why he's back on Earth and perhaps, indeed, why he is an angel in the first place.
