This Halloween you're on the menu for two full courses of fright!
A stewardess and a go-go dancer are just two of the young women brazenly kidnapped off the streets of Manila, hustled through underground sewers and take to the jungle caves of The Thirsty Dead. Ruled by a 500 year-old disembodied head-in-a-box and a dragon-lady high priestess, the "dead" are actually a cult of immortals who can live forever by dining on blood. But when the stewardess is chosen to be one of them, she instead decides to escape with the help of a love-starved blood-drinker named Baru (who looks like a cross between a seventies swinger and a Mexican vampire). Trouble is, the farther from the cave they get, the more Baru starts to age, and the poor guy quickly turns to a prune...Imagine Lost Horizon done as a Filipino horror film and you'll have some idea of The Thirsty Dead's utterly loopy charms...
Plus, zombies, necrophilia and even autopsy footage bubble to the surface of The Swamp of the Ravens, where Dr. Frosta dumps the dead rejects from his experiments. Unfortunately the dead are now undead, and the swamp water is infested with living corpses bent on a showdown with the mad doc.
