Comments
Apparently "Sorority House Vampires from Hell" was
remastered in 1998, but I can't imagine why. This movie is a
mess. Fifty minutes into it, I still had no idea what it was
about. The dialogue was difficult to hear, the acting was
atrocious, and there is some subplot about an alien called
Rabaalhazar, but his accent was so bad I couldn't understand
anything he said. Except for the excessive use of T&A, this is a
movie that should have been released straight to Tom, Gypsy, and
Crow.

Summary
Three Alpha Beta Gamma sorority pledges -- Buffy, Jodi, and
Tina -- are undergoing their hazing at a little cabin in the
woods. Also in those woods, the vampiress Natalia, newly-awakened
after 200 years, must drink the blood of nine victims in order to
get back her powers. After each victim, however, a world disaster
takes place, such as volcanic eruptions in Oahu, tornados in
Iowa, avalanches in Switzerland, and a fishing boat attacked and
sunk by 5000 crazed yellowfin tuna off the coast of Newfoundland.
When the pledges' sisters-to-be -- Chris, Inga, and Mel -- go
missing, and Buffy learns that there are vampires afoot, she and
her pledge-sisters realize that they must singly-handedly destroy
Natalia and her zombies.

Using all the vampire hunting tricks of the trade, e.g.,
tossing rice in front of the doors, filling their squirt guns
with holy water, and wearing crosses around their necks, they are
able to destroy or repel all of Natalia's zombies, leaving only
Natalia to deal with. Unfortunately, Natalia gains entry to the
cabin by dressing as a giant chicken, but Buffy manages to kick
her out. Buffy follows Natalia to the tomb of Natalia's ex-lover,
Count Vlad (who has been having difficulty getting out of his
tomb). The viewer is now given his or her choice of endings: (1)
Natalia makes Buffy her ninth victim, (2) Buffy stakes both
Natalia and Vlad, or (3) Natalia makes Vlad her ninth victim,
which releases her from her curse and she becomes human again.
The movie ends with the entire cast and crew re-united for their
cast party.
