Once Bitten is a 1985 American teen comedy horror film directed by Howard Storm and starring Lauren Hutton, Jim Carrey, Karen Kopins, and Cleavon Little. Carrey has his first major lead role playing Mark Kendall, an innocent and naive high school student who is seduced in a Hollywood nightclub by a sultry blonde countess (Hutton), who unknown to him is a centuries-old vampire. While the film underperformed at the box office, it has since become a cult classic.
