Plot

Kalpana House is basically an unofficial Malayalam remake of ''Fright Night''. Tony (Shafiq) keeps seeing strange things at his next door neighbor's house. Coffins and strange crates come in and out of the house, and women go into the house only to disappear. Tony gets the cops involved only to prove nothing, and hires a big muscle-bound ruffian to break in only to be killed. But when a vampire named John Peter (Kapil Dev) visits his house and threatens his life, ending in a confrontation where Tony stabs the vampire in the hand with a paint brush, Tony then gets help from his best friend with a truly annoying laugh who directs him to a priest. The priest doesn't believe Tony's neighbor is a vampire, making John Peter drink holy water (which John Peter does) but notices John Peter doesn't cast a reflection in a mirror. John Peter turns Tony's friend into a vampire, who then attacks the priest who thwarts him with a cross. Later the priest visits Tony's house only to get attacked by Tony's friend again who turns into a vicious dog. The priest stabs Tony's friend and the werewolf dissolves. John Peter kidnaps Tony's girlfriend from a night club, killing a cop and Tony, the priest and the priest's helper have a final confrontation.
