December 23, 2014My friend Tony and I went to the Alamo and watched this hilariously bad French vampire anthology movie that looked like it was made by ambitious high school kids. It featured an old man who talked to the camera about how bad vampires were before he introduced the first story - Red Christmas - a vampire dressed as Santa Claus kills some thugs in an alley and then randomly crashes a party and kills a bunch of people. The second story - Son of Dracula - was just a continuation of the first part with the old man, and it wasn't really much of a story. He just went to the tomb where Dracula's son was buried and found a guy in a bad bald cap and spiked him. Then he introduced the third story - Hell Taxi - about a vampire who drove a taxi cab and killed all of his passengers. A guy named Jacques who loved to talk to himself and wore a hat that said SUPER MACHO started semi-stalking his new neighbor who he thought was pretty and when she was picked up by the Hell Taxi he desperately tried to save her. Or at least he talked about it. Then the vampire taxi driver's brother (who used to be a vampire) gave Super Macho the help he needed to save his cute neighbor-friend from the vampire. By help, I mean he magically made Super Macho appear in the back seat of the cab where he could choke the vampire until he carefully parked the car and disappeared. It was another one of the Alamo Drafthouse's Video Vortex series, and as far as I'm aware it is not available on DVD or blu-ray, but if you get a chance to see it, you should. I guess.
