Vampire Dog is a 2012 Canadian family film directed by Geoff Anderson and starring Collin MacKechnie, Julia Sarah Stone, Amy Matysio, Ron Pederson and Jodi Sadowsky.

Susan gets work as an additional music teacher at the local high school which will be closing after the current year.

Though the current music teacher, who is also the school's principal, Barry Hickman, discourages students and doubts their skills, Susan thinks the right approach will help the kids.

Susan gets a letter from a notary: her late husband's father has died, and Ace has inherited his old dog, Fang.

Warhol is sure the DNA of the vampire dog will lead to a solution to create a cream that will stop the aging of human skin.

Fang tells the kids how he turned into a vampire dog 600 years ago when the legendary count Vlad tried to attack the great-great-great-...-great-parents of Ace.

Skylar, a genius in chemistry, knows the reason: jelly pudding contains gelatin, which contains collagen, which for Fang, is a substitute for haemoglobin.

Despite being grounded, Ace and Skylar visit the pet shelter to save Fang from another kidnap attempt by Warhol and Frank.

Warhol bribed Hickman and the drummer (his nephew Murray Arbuckle) to doom the school so that she could build her chemical company on the land.

[6][7][8] The Common Sense Media review in 2012 stated that the film had "anti-bullying messages weighed down by predictable plot", further calling it "logic impaired", and giving it two (of five) stars.

In its advice to parents, it cited "silly slapstick action with nothing scary and no serious consequences", and rated the film as suitable for seven-year-olds.
