Robert Sean Leonard stars as a teen adjusting to becoming a vampire in "My Best Friend is a Vampire." (COURTEST OF WARNER BROS.)

The other night, I was bouncing around the various streaming services looking for something befitting of the Halloween season. There’s no shortage of horror movies, but I was in the mood for something on the goofier side. On HBO Max, I came upon 1987’s “My Best Friend is a Vampire.”

While I had never seen it before, the clever poster art — a drawing of a row of lockers with one in the middle in the shape of a coffin with a pair of sneakers in front of it — was familiar, so I clicked play not expecting much from a PG teen vampire comedy.
