[edit] Killer Barbys

Director Jess Franco is back to his old tricks with this gruesome gore-fest about a band called The Killer Barbies (played by the band of the same name) that gets stuck in a remote locale when their transportation breaks down. Eager to get back on the road, the group searches on foot for help. Instead, they run into a bloodthirsty sorceress, Von Fledermaus (Mariangela Giordano), who's about to make their lives much worse.

[edit] Killer Barbys vs. Dracula

Spanish director Jesus Franco spins another morbid but campy tale about Count Dracula (Enrique Sarasola) rising from the dead. What brings the Transylvanian bloodsucker back from what was supposed to be a permanent slumber? A new song by the rock band the Killer Barbys, who, while touring in Spain, encounter the undead menace and take him on in a monumental battle to the finish. Who will prevail -- the musicians or the master of the macabre?

[edit] Trivia
