A Mummy tells the Cryptkeeper a short story about a bunch of people finding a female mummy who kills them all so the Cryptkeeper introduces the story called Bordello of Blood about a punk named Caleb (Corey Feldman) who rebels against his issters religious beliefs and gets into all sorts of trouble at bars and other places with his friend.
Suddenly they enter a funeral parlour as they both go in a coffin which leads to a basement that is actually a whorehouse but the whores are vampiresses.
Caleb is missing so his sister gets a detective named Rafe Guttman (Dennis Miller) to look for him which leads him into danger.

 

This has gotta be the worst Tales from the Crypt shopw ever!!!!
It leans to more of a dark comedy but I reviewed this because it was Crypt material which is basically horror material.
The story is very annoying with a grunting biker and a fruitcake coroner.
The vampiresses aren't the least bit scary and it almost looks like it clones Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The acting is hokey like I mentioned but it was interesting to see Corey Feldman getting the odd acting job even if his role wasn't too big.

Lots of topless women at a whorehouse.
There are topless women in dialgoue scenes too.
Many of them seems to have implants.
There are also some buttshots.

Many gory scenes which is to be expected in a Tales from the Crypt movie.
The Cryptkeepers hand is cut off.
Peoples hearts are being ripped out and eaten by vampiressses.
A bikers head is graphically ripped off by a vampiress.
Vampiresses melt and explode being sprayed by holy water.
Also a hole is burned through a body of a vampire.
A vampiresses chest is scarred.

Gilbert Adler does a bit of a better effort than with the story in general with his scenery on the actresses playing the vampiresses but it's nothing to brag about.

Chris Boardman was the main composer for the film along with the guy who composed the theme for the HBO series Danny Elfman as he is marvellous of course.

We also get a soundtrack by groups like Anthrax, Free, Zen Cowboys, Thin Lizzy, Herd (with Peter Frampton), Humble Pie and a well remembered track by the Sweet titled "Ballroom Blitz"


Katherine: A whorehouse?
Rafe: A house inhabited by whores.

Lilith: Two! Four! Six! Eight! You can watch me masturbate.

Vincent Prather: You're a smart boy, Miguel. Because of that I'm gonna let you have some of what we find.
Miguel: Ah! Remember that you said that.
Vincent Prather: I will. I'm gonna let it have some of you, too.

Caleb Verdoux: Oh my God, it's a necrophiliac's wet dream!

Lillith: Don't eat your heart out, baby -- that's MY job.

Rafe Guttman: You're reminding me why being married to you drove me to the brink of homosexuality.

[Zeke's shot knocks a beer onto a girl.]
Rafe Guttman: Six pack in the side cleavage!

Zeke: Step outside!
Rafe Guttman: Sorry, Zeke -- I'm just not in the mood for a blowjob.

[Rafe is trying to gain access to the whorehouse, which is disguised as a funeral home.]
Rafe Guttman: I'm here for the, um, Cunningham wake.
McCutheon: I'm afraid the wake is closed tonight. Come back tomorrow.
Rafe Guttman: I, uh, really must pay my respects right now.
McCutheon: Then I suggest you come back TOMORROW.
Rafe Guttman: Maybe you don't understand me. I'm feeling excruciatingly SAD.
McCutheon: I'm so sorry.
Rafe Guttman: And if I don't grieve right now -- maybe even grieve two or three times -- I'm going to go out of my mind, okay?
McCutheon: Then I suggest you go mourn somewhere in private -- with a box of tissues!

Rafe Guttman: I'm not going to tell you those aren't the Breasts of the Century, but I'm just not digging the owner, so why don't you put those away; you're just not my type.

Rafe Guttman: Ah, the girls! Let them eat a guy named "Cake."

Tamara: Guess where you just landed, lover?
Rafe Guttman: Larry Flynt's id?

[After ripping Jenkin's head off.]
Lillith: I just love a man who gives you head -- and lets you keep it!

Rafe Guttman: I feel like I'm in a bad episode of Tales From The Crypt!

[talking to a she-vampire]
Rafe Guttman: I'd rather Crazy Glue my dick to the bullet train than fuck you.
[seeing a televangelist's glitzy chapel]

Rafe Guttman: Nice place, Katherine. Kind of like Superman's dad's place on Krypton.

[On the phone with his ex-wife]
Rafe Guttman: I gotta go. Fuck you.
[hangs up]

Rafe Guttman: Sorry Katherine, but that wasn't your brother anymore.
Caleb: Wrong! I'll always be your brother, sis.
Rafe Guttman: Katherine, run from your brother.

Miguel: [to Vincent] You drive us all the way to the end of the earth... for a fuckin' stiff?!

[Katherine attempts to swing on a chain from one platform to another.]
Rafe: That is the craziest fuckin' thing I've...
[Rafe attempts to leave, but sees the Vampire Caleb following close, and returns to Katherine]
Rafe: That is the second craziest fuckin' thing I've...

[A vampire bursts into flames after being squirted with Holy water]
Rafe Guttman: Cha-Ching!
