Synopsis:

A music driven horror-comedy. Haitian voodoo deity transforms a burlesque dancer into a “Valentine vampire.” Blood only whets her appetite–she must eat her victim’s beating hearts. Baron Samedi drinks rum, smokes cigars and chases after mortal women. His wife, Maman Brigitte, is the red-haired Celtic goddess “Brigid” of Irish mythology, adopted in Haiti as their goddess of Death. Women seek her for protection–and justice. Bridget O’Brien is a red-haired waitress and burlesque dancer at a Van Nuysdive bar. She is exploited by her boss, her boyfriend and finally a sleazy attorney who attacks her–only to have her arrested for assault. Then comes the abusive prison matron. Finally, Bridget attempts to take her life. But Baron Samedi intervenes, thinking her the reincarnation of his disappeared wife. Bridget is empowered as a “Valentine vampire.” “What is that?” she asks. “Oh, you shall see!” says the Baron. Blood tastes good, but is not enough–she must feast on the hearts of evil-doers.
