MANSECT! is Xenofauna’s very first, complete super 8mm short film created using entirely in-camera special effects. It was composed from a single roll of Kodak Tri-X 7266, shot on a Nikon R8 super 8 camera. MANSECT! was devised as a film within a film for a different project you will see at some point in the future but that’s a little way off, so we decided to share MANSECT! with you now. We hope you enjoy!

From the depths of space, Dracula has devised his most dastardly plan yet; turning the residents of a small American town into his personal army of vampire zombies! A motley crew consisting of a grizzled detective, a skeptical rookie cop, a chain-smoking greaser, and a determined young woman band together to save the world from — (see title). Packed with gruesome special effects, b-movie miniatures, and gut-busting laughs, “Vampire Zombies…from Space!” is a bloody comedy that has its foundation in horror films of the 1950s.
