Blood Diner is a 1987 horror-comedy film, a loose remake of the 1963 film Blood Feast.[1][2]
Plot
Blood Diner is a dark comedy/horror about two brothers, Michael Tutman (Rick Burks) and George Tutman (Carl Crew) becoming brainwashed by their serial killer uncle Anwar Namtut (Drew Godderis), into completing his task of resurrecting the Lumerian goddess Sheetar (Tanya Papanicolas). To do this, the brothers must collect different body parts from many immoral women, stitch them together, and then call forth the goddess at a "blood buffet" with a virgin to sacrifice ready for her to eat. Meanwhile, two mismatched detectives work together to track them down before more carnage can ensue. For some reason, a man named Horatio Titus (His friends call him Vitamin 'C') is a health food expert and is actually a 400 pound redneck. He promptly throws up in the diner.
