Synopsis
Éducation

This short film was produced for The Department of National Health and Welfare to warn against the dangers of cigarette smoking. Set against the backdrop of a typical '60s-era horror movie, a young woman is seen lighting up cigarette after cigarette. When a vampire appears at the stroke of midnight, she faints from sheer terror. But when the vampire closes in for the kill, he is hit with a nasty surprise...

Description pédagogique:

Why does the vampire die? Discuss health issues related to smoking. Have students come up with lists of other reckless behaviours that should be avoided (alcohol/drug abuse, unprotected/premarital sex, peer pressure, gangs, violence, etc). Brainstorm ideas on commercials to get people to stop. Students can create print ads or make short films in groups using their ideas, then present to other classes or at a school assembly.
