A story from the best-selling books comes this unstoppable fantasy adventure. Darren Shan is a normal teen living a suburban lifestyle. He has good parents, gets good grades, and is popular at school. He's best friends with Steve who is pretty much his opposite in every respect. Steve is the bad influence that always gets Darren in trouble, but they get along well.
One night, Steve convinces Darren to sneak out and attend the "Cirque Du Freak," a one night only freak show held in an abandoned theater. The boys go and end up seeing an astonishing variety of freaks with supernatural abilities. But the main attraction for them is Larten Crepsley and his exotic spider named Octa. Steve immediately identifies Crepsley as a vampire. Secretly, he hopes he can become a vampire, too.
Through a series of odd events, Darren steals Octa from Crepsley and the spider bites Steve, bringing him to the brink of death. Out of intense guilt, Darren reaches a deal with the 200-year-old vampire. In exchange for the spider antidote, Darren will become a half vampire and assistant for Crepsley. Unfortunately, this means abandoning his family, his friends, and his former life and entering a new and dangerous supernatural world.
"Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant" is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense supernatural violence and action, disturbing images, thematic elements and some language.
