Helena (Rena Riffel) is a young woman who has come to Hollywood to become a star - with modest success so far, but then again she's still new here, At the same time, blond bombshells start to disappear all around town, including her idol, scream queen Becky Bardot (Jade Paris). She figures they have all been taken by the Hollywood Vampire (Count Smokula) - and since she's a blonde as well and rather easy on the eye, Helena is afraid she might be next. And sure enough, the Hollywood Vampire soon enough catches up with her, puts her under his hypnotic spell and makes her his slave. But eventzzally, Helena attaches some magic lipstick given to her by a fellow actress (Mary Carey), who gives her just enough clarity to turn into Trasharella, a super-heroine called that because her skimpy costume is made out of trashbags. As Trasharella she fights the vampire to exhaustion, and thinks she ha defied him but on the next day he''s gone. And she can't turn back into Helena no more. So with the help of a (rather useless) psychiatrist (Tom C. Smith) she tries every trick in the book to turn back but eventually figures the only way to achieve that is to tackle the problem head on and finally kill thje Hollywood Vampire for good ...

Now one word of advice before you consider watching this film: Don't expect your typical low budget genre flick here, as sure, this film is low budget and it shows, but it's also a film tht moves at its own pace, ignores your typical three act structure, and doesn't take continuity in editing too seriously - all of which seems to be intentional and also gives the film its very own feel that's only augmented by experimental scenes, weird song-and-dance interludes and almost avant garde costume choices. Now blend all that with a deep love for grindhouse cinema as such  and genre cinema in particular, and you've got something pretty unique and very worthwhile - if you're into bits of weirdness that is.
