Color us completely confused. Last week we reported that Fright Night 2 was on its way direct-to-video, and today more details have been uncovered that are… well… perplexing to say the least. Read on for the latest.

According to Bloody Disgusting, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has greenlit production for Fright Night 2 and has cast Jaime Murray (pictured below; “Warehouse 13,” “Dexter”) in the lead role as a Romanian vampire in the Eduardo Rodriguez-directed sequel.

Now for the weird part. Dig on the synopsis below:

When high school student Charlie attends a study abroad program with his horror-obsessed friend “Evil” Ed and ex-girlfriend Amy in Romania, he soon discovers their young attractive professor Gerri (Jaime Murray) is a real life vampire. Too bad no one believes him. In fact, Evil Ed finds it amusing, and it only feeds his vampire obsession. When Gerri turns Ed, Charlie seeks out Peter Vincent, the infamous vampire hunter (well, he plays one on TV) who is in Romania filming his show “Fright Night,” to teach him how to take down Gerri before she gets to Amy, who’s blood will cure Gerri of spending eternity as a vampire.

Sound just a little familiar?
