In this satirical
horror-comedy, a gumshoe investigates a combination TV ministry/whorehouse/vampire infestation. After bounty hunter
Vincent (
Phil Fondacaro) unearths the remains of
Lilith, queen of the vampires, he restores the alluring creature to life and lords over her using a magical talisman. Later, rowdy youngster
Caleb Verdoux (
Corey Feldman) convinces one of his dim-witted buddies to accompany him to a combination mortuary/house of ill repute where both young men fall prey to
Lilith's charms. Rather than merely drinking her victims' blood, this vampire has a tendency to rip out their hearts with her projectile tongue.
Caleb's sister,
Katherine (
Erika Eleniak), who works for a large televangelism operation run by the shady
Reverend Current (
Chris Sarandon), hires private dick
Rafe Guttman (
Dennis Miller) to track down the errant
Caleb.
Rafe's wise-guy antics soon get him in trouble with
Lilith and the law, but not before he uncovers the ties between
Lilith's organization and
Current's ministry; it seems
Vincent, and therefore
Lilith, are working for the reverend. Soon,
Rafe finds himself in the boudoir of
Lilith's bordello, armed with a holy-water squirt gun and fighting to save
Erika from the glamorous but deadly vampire. Like
Tales From the Crypt Presents Demon Knight, the previous film spin-off from
HBO's
EC Comics-inspired
Tales From the Crypt series,
Bordello of Blood features interludes hosted by the puppet skeleton known as
the Crypt Keeper (voice of
John Kassir). Director
Gilbert Adler, who previously helmed
Demon Knight, would go on to produce
13 Ghosts and
The House on Haunted Hill.
Whoopi Goldberg makes an uncredited cameo as a hospital patient.
