Vampires, also known as Abandon, is a 1986 horror film directed by Len Anthony and starring Duane Jones, John Bly, Jackie James, Orly Benyar, Kit Jones, and Robin Michaels; it was the final film of Duane Jones.^[1] The cinematographer was Ernest Dickerson, who later worked with Spike Lee and directed some episodes of horror TV show The Walking Dead.^[2]

The plot concerns mysterious events at a private girls' school in which the students' life-energy is drained by a mad scientist's machine. Subsequently the film was retitled Abandon and included in a double bill on VHS with Anthony's later film Fright House, under the title of the latter movie.^[3][4] It was released on DVD in 2016.^[5]

HorrorNews.net called it "completely and utterly forgettable".^[6] ComingSoon.net were equally critical, calling it a "bizarre, barely watchable direct-to-video mess".^[1]
