Vampire in Brooklyn is a 1995 American vampire comedy horror film directed by Wes Craven. It stars Eddie Murphy, who produced and wrote with his brothers Vernon Lynch and Charles Q. Murphy. The film co-stars Angela Bassett, Allen Payne, Kadeem Hardison, John Witherspoon, Zakes Mokae, and Joanna Cassidy. Murphy also plays an alcoholic preacher, Pauly, and a foul-mouthed Italian-American mobster, Guido.
Vampire in Brooklyn was the final film produced under Eddie Murphy's exclusive contract with Paramount Pictures, which began with 48 Hrs. (1982) and included the Beverly Hills Cop franchise (1984–1994).
Vampire in Brooklyn was released on October 27, 1995, and initially received mostly negative reviews, with critics citing its uneven mix of horror and comedy. The film struggled at the box office, grossing $19.8 million in the United States, but earned a total of $35 million worldwide against a $14 million budget. Over time, it gained a cult following, with critical re-evaluation praising Craven's direction, Murphy and Bassett's performances and chemistry, and its blend of horror and comedy.[3][4][5][6][7]
