The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Kamillions is a 1989 film directed by Mikel B. Anderson from a story by Robert Hsi and a screenplay Anderson wrote in collaboration with Harry S. Robins. The film was re-edited by producer Teresa Woo, who later admitted she did not really understand an English language science fiction comedy, and was expecting more of an action film. The film was shot primarily in the Dunsmuir House and Gardens in Oakland, California.


Robins plays amiable and bumbling mad scientist Nathaniel Pickman Wingate, affiliated with Miskatonic University, who is busy trying to open a portal to another dimension while his wife, Nancy (Laura O'Malley), and family prepare to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. When he makes contact with the new dimension, he releases two creatures resembling horseshoe crabs with legs that have knees that bend as though they are elbows. These creatures can mimic anything and take on the appearance of Nathan's wife's cousin Desmon (Christopher Gasti), now a Count in Liechtenstein, and a model named Jasmine in son Sam's (Dan Evans) poster (Dru-Anne Cakmis).
