One of my absolute favorite movies from the '90s is Clueless. Amy Heckerling's 1995 comedy had quotable lines, enviable fashions and plenty of Paul Rudd. Star Alicia Silverstone hasn't been in a ton of movies lately, opting instead to spread the vegan word and take time to raise her son.

Now, Anchor Bay is resurrecting the team of Heckerling and Silverstone for the vampire-themed comedy, Vamps. As you can see by the trailer below, it totally has that Clueless vibe.

The film focuses on Goody (Silverstone) and Stacy (Krysten Ritter), two hot party girls that just happen to be vampires. As the trailer suggests, though, "Staying young is getting old." So both start looking for love, which Stacy finds with a Van Helsing. As if!

The insanely large cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Richard Lewis, Justin Kirk, Wallace Shawn, Malcolm McDowell and Kristen Johnston. Also, as BUST points out, you have to appreciate that Heckerling is one of the few working female directors in Hollywood.

Look for Vamps in limited theatrical release on November 2, with a Blu-ray and DVD following shortly after on November 13.
