A vampire is forced go out every night to separate children from their heads. The reason? His vain wife wants to replace her wrinkled head with one that is young and pretty. How awful! Especially since the lady of the house is never satisfied and the heads keep piling up on the floor. How will our reluctant vampire ever stop this vicious cycle?

In a new take on the horror film classics, directors Cédric Louis and Claude Barras create a tale at once macabre and funny. It recalls the bizarre worlds and expressionist landscapes so characteristic of Tim Burton. A feast for the eyes and a treat for the mind!

Cédric Louis and Claude Barras have been collaborating since they made Icefloe (2005). In a style that appeals to children and adults alike, their films take a humorous and clever look at complex subject matter such as difference and death. Sainte Barbe (2007) and Land of the Heads (2009) were co-produced by their studio, Hélium Films, and the National Film Board of Canada.
