How bad is it? It's high camp. Pretty good high camp.
Should you see it? Yes, but because it's good, not because it's bad.
I'm not sure why this cult B-movie has developed a bad movie reputation. It's a silly musical comedy about a 300 year-old virgin vampire who, every 22 years on Friday the 13th, meets the woman he loves again, only to lose her, via a curse, to a pirate with a rhinestone peg leg wielding a ham bone. The songs aren't half-bad, written by Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO. The cast really is why people will watch this: Susan Tyrell, Bo Diddley, Thomas Dolby and Toni Basil (who steals the show).
"Rapula" is worse.
