Sane (John Snelling) and a resurrected corpse, Grunt, (Leon Hamilton) makes a radical scientific discovery of importance to vampires worldwide. To complete her mission, Morticia commands her dead manservant to lure two innocent soft drink sellers from London towards the deeply superstitious village of Bloody Bay, and the much feared Bloody Island. Morticia ensnares the pair but is interrupted by the vampire hunter (and ex-window cleaner) Professor Van Rental (Oliver Gray). Morticia revives her vast and heavily armed vampire army and engages in two similtanious battles: one large, loud and bloody, the other small and deeply personal!
