Can these zoomy undead kids perk your vampire fetish? The first clip from the traveling-freak-circus film The Vampire's Assistant, with a bearded Salma Hayek and John C. Reily as vampire ringleader, pins teen vamp against vamp, with hot streak-effect action.

The film follows a boy, turned half-vampire at the hands of Reily. The youth cashes in mortality to save his friend, and in return has to work as an "assistant" in the traveling circus that's got plenty of side show acts.

I'm very curious to see your reaction to the movie based on the books Cirque du Freak now retitled as the Vampire's Assistant So weigh in — interested or over it? VA will be in theaters October 23.
