April 24: Puke! — Pick a movie that had a barf bag given away during its theatrical run! Here’s a list.

Gerardo de Leon made The Mad Doctor of Blood Island and Brides of Blood, so we should watch any movie he ever chose to direct. This time, he tells us about Eduardo (Eddie Garcia) and his sister Leonore (Amalia Fuentes), a twosome who have made the worst of all horror-movie mistakes. They’ve come back home to see their father on his deathbed.

The old man has one simple request: “Burn this house to the ground the second I’m gone.” Does Eduardo listen? Of course not. Instead, he decides to poke around the basement.

Eduardo discovers his mother chained up in the dark. She’s a vampire, she’s hungry and she gives him a hickey that turns him into a cape-wearing, blood-chugging menace. While Eduardo is busy transforming into a monster, Leonore is pining for her lover, Daniel (Romeo Vasquez), hoping for a deathbed blessing that—spoiler alert—is not coming.

What follows is a chaotic descent into madness. Eduardo ruins a wedding with the kind of social grace only a vampire can muster (by biting the bride), murders his father in a fit of vampiric rage, and develops a deeply uncomfortable lust for his own sister. He tops it all off by getting into a sword fight with a ghost.

The film was picked up for U.S. distribution by Hemisphere Pictures, the same outfit that brought the Blood Island films to American drive-ins, often as part of legendary double features.
