I finished a story summary for another movie screenplay
And this one actually started with a title
It looks good, so I want to work on it further
But as of now its still in developmental stages and I'm betting there are a hell of a lot of grammar errors here.

Vlad.

Male vampire Vlad repeatedly tries to kill himself because he does not want to be a vampire. Using bullets, stakes etc. His assistant Bigfoot assists him but somehow nothing he does works. He gives up and sits by the fireplace, feeling sorry for himself. He screams "I WANT DEATH." Frankensteins monster, Death, comes up to the door with a basket, selling cakes. Bigfoot opens the door for her and asks if Vlad wants any. Vlad buys all of the cakes. While Bigfoot is searching for money Death comes in and explores. She decided to try and put herself in Vlad's coffin to try. Vlad walks over to his coffin and opens it to take his toothbrush and is taken aback when he finds Death inside. He asks her for her name and she says "Death".

Vlad mumbles to himself about finding "Death". Vlad explains to her his unfortunate predicament. She tells him not to die. She gets out of the coffin, gives him the toothbrush and tries to go out of the room, but Vlad calls after her asking if he would help him get over his addiction to trying to die. She promises and when Bigfoot comes back in to give her the money, she declines and gives them the cakes for free.

The next day, Vlad visits Death in her house as she is baking. He tells her about the promise she made and she lets him in, provided he helps her with the baking. He starts rambling about how nice it would be to die and she gets angry and upset, advancing on him with a rolling pin and hitting him on the head with it. She explains that she had died before and proceeds to recall a flashback. She sees herself riding a horse and falling off it into a river, being swept away by the current. She recalls a dark, horrible place filled with muck, sadness and other frightening dead souls. The flashback goes away and the scene returns to her sobbing on Vlad's shoulder.

He asks her what happened afterwards and she says she found herself, days later, alive in a laboratory with electric currents running through her. She talks about Doctor Oblivious, the mad scientist who brought her back from the dead. Vlad shows interest in going to see Doctor Oblivious and she brings him to see Doctor Oblivious, who, along with his assistant Igor welcomes both of them warmly. Vlad tells him he does not want to be a vampire,and if there was a way to turn him back into a human without dying. Doctor Oblivious says that he knows that there is a way to reverse the change, although he does know know what it is unless he can find it in his library.

Vlad and Death leave with a promise from Doctor Oblivious that he will find a way to turn Vlad into a human. On the way home, Death falls down and cuts her knee on a rock. Vlad takes her to a river, where she has a flashback of being swept away with the current and she starts crying, before fainting on that rock and begging him to leave. Vlad drinks the blood from her knee as he can find nothing to wipe it away with, bandages her knee with his shirt, and goes off. A villager walks past and sees Death. Horrified, he runs off to tell the rest of the village.

The frightened villagers agree to kill Death, believing her to be a monster. They break into Death's house the next day and stab her with a pitchfork. An unknowing Vlad comes to visit her, concerned, but finds her near dead. He carries her to Doctor Oblivious' house where Doctor Oblivious takes out the pitchfork and tries to make her better, although her situation is dire. He gives Vlad a vial telling him that drinking the liquid inside it will turn him into a human. Vlad takes the vial home and ponders over it.

He is approached by Bigfoot who asks him what he is going to do with the vial, and if he plans to drink it. Vlad says he does not know, and confesses that he has feelings for Death. Bigfoot tells him to turn her into a vampire and he says he can't because she isn't human, at which point Bigfoot points to the Vial. Vlad runs to Doctor Oblivious' house. He finds Death, and pours the liquid into her mouth. She shudders and goes weak, much near death, and he bites her. She lies asleep for 3 days and then wakes up.

She notices she has fangs, and her fingernails are clear, like glass. She calls for Vlad, who has been sleeping on the floor beside her bed and he tells her what he has done. She asks him why he did not choose to use the liquid on himself and he tells her he wanted her to have it, at which point she asks him what he was planning to do now. Vlad says the only reason he did not want to be a vampire was because he would be immortal, and he would have to spend eternity alone. The reason he doesn't mind being a vampire now was because he finally has someone to spend eternity with.

She asks him who, not believing that it could be her, and he tells her that he wishes to spend eternity with her. They kiss. The time jumps to three days later, when Death is feeling better. Her stitches have fallen off and she looks human. So does Vlad. She thanks Doctor Oblivious and Igor. They move into Vlad's house, and live there with Bigfoot. The ending sees them both walking through the village marketplace and meeting the villager who led to her death, and they both attack him. They drink his blood, before walking off into the sunset together.
