Synopsis:
The Vamps Next Door is a sitcom about your average family that just happens to be vampires.
Vampire mom, Beverly Tepes, loves her job in the ER. When a patient dies, it really makes her day and dinner is served. Vampire dad, Walter Tepes, works for the IRS and hypnotizes his co-workers for fun. They’re a modern day, tax-paying, SUV driving family with two teenage kids, a batty old grandma and a vampire cat. It’s 2011 and they’re not killers anymore… they’re our next door neighbors. At least they try not to kill anyone.
