Plot: "Young Darren Shan has been fascinated by spiders from an early age. His best friend, Steve "Leopard" Leonard, has grown up reading horror comics and stories of the Wolf-Man and vampires. One day, a mysterious car drives by and someone in the passenger seat releases a flyer which then drops in front of both Steve and Darren,advertising the "Cirque Du Freak", a traveling freak show claiming to have toured the western hemisphere for the last 500 years. Darren and Steve are mesmerized by the fantastic and disturbing show, especially by the act of the mysterious Mr. Crepsley and his giant spider Madam Octa.

After the show, Steve sneaks back into the theater and confronts Mr. Crepsley about the man being a vampire. He demands to become a vampire too, and join the circus as Mr. Crepsleys assistant. The vampire refuses Steve upon tasting his blood, and declares his blood evil. Steve is miserable, and declares revenge on Mr. Crepsley. Unbeknownst to Steve, Darren has been hiding in the theater, witnessing the confrontation and becoming wary of Steve. Several days later, Darren develops an obsession for Madam Octa, and returns to the theater to steal her, using his knowledge of Mr. Crepsley's true nature to his advantage. He trains the spider in secret with a flute that forces the spider to obey his commands. Eventually, Steve visits Darren, demanding to know why Darren is avoiding him. Darren confesses he stole Madam Octa, but does not confess spying on Steve and Mr. Crepsley. When Steve is at Darren's house playing with Madam Octa, Darren gets distracted, losing control over the spider, which hence bites and paralyzes Steve. Steve's only hope for survival is if Darren makes a deal with Mr. Crepsley to become his assistant.

Steve lives, but Darren is turned into a half-vampire and is thrust into the dark world of the vampires. Darren tries to live amongst humans, but decides to join Mr. Crepsley after nearly attacking his sister. In order to successfully free Darren of all previous bonds, including family, Mr. Crepsley helps his apprentice fake his own death by perfectly simulating an accidental, but fatal fall. Following the events of Darren's human body's funeral, Mr. Crepsley returns and digs Darren up. Darren begins his new life as a vampire, but Steve is still hungry for revenge."
