Blood and Donuts is a 1995 Canadian supernatural comedy horror film[1] directed by Holly Dale, written by Andrew Rai Berzins, and starring Gordon Currie and Helene Clarkson.
The film features a vampire who is accidentally awakened after 25 years of sleep and starts to shyly make contact with the mortal world around him.
He meets up with a cab driver who is in trouble with some criminals, and a female donut shop worker who gets stuck in the middle.
[6] Brendan Kelly of Variety wrote that the film fails to deliver on its premise, as Dale has trouble combining the horror and comedy elements.
[8] Blood and Donuts was nominated in 1996 for the Genie Awards in 3 categories: Best Achievement in Costume Design (Emma England), Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (Helene Clarkson), and Best Original Screenplay (Berzins).
