The premise

While driving on tour late night through a lonely road in the countryside of Spain, the van of the punk band "Killer Barbys" has an accident and breaks down. A creepy old man invites the group to spend the night in the castle of Countess Von Fledermaus and presents himself as her secretary Arkan. Arkan explains that the mechanic is located 62 km far from the location and he tells that the Countess loves youths. Flavia, Rafa and Mario accept the invitation but Billy and Sharon stay shagging in the van. When the musicians meet the Countess, they find that she is the ancient artist Olga Luchan and they question how she could keep so young. But sooner they discover that the Countess needs blood of young people to keep her beauty.

Horror Vault's take

When their tour van breaks down on an isolated Spanish country road, the punk band Killer Barbys reluctantly accept shelter in a crumbling castle presided over by the enigmatic Countess Von Fledermaus. Their eccentric host seems impossibly youthful for her apparent age, and it doesn't take long for the band members to sense something deeply wrong beneath the castle's decaying grandeur. Director Jesús Franco blends 1990s punk energy with classic Eurohorror atmosphere in this collision of two very different worlds. Fans of trashy, blood-soaked Euro vampire cinema will feel right at home.
