Cirque du Freak is a traveling sideshow filled with magical creatures, misunderstood freaks, and the mysterious vampire, Larten Crepsley (Reilly). Drawn to the dark, unpredictable world of Cirque, 16-year-old Darren (Massoglia) becomes The Vampire's Assistant and decides to trade in his ordinary life for a chance to become an immortal vampire. As Darren explores his newfound powers and faces unexpected enemies, he'll find that his existence as a member of the undead is filled with more challenges, suspense, and fun than he ever thought possible. Based on the Cirque du Freak series of books by Darren Shan. (Gary Reber)
