SYNOPSIS: A young man is told by his father's ghost that he was murdered by a black wizard in the employ of the local mob boss. The young man stumbles upon a book (well, pamphlet) of necromancy and magic, and raises an army of ghosts to fight his foes and avenge his father. But the bad guys have black magic of their own--including Dracula! With the help of the ghosts and some local whores, justice is eventually served...from beyond the grave!

Worst Special Effect
Sparly Vampire--But Not Twilight Our hero tries to use the Book of Magic against Dracula...but he's too powerful! And too cheesy!

"WHAT?!"
Evil Wizard with the Magic Book of Frisbee Becomes Incensed Now that the Black Magician has the book of magic he...uh...decides to play a little frisbee with it? Does a weird dance and shows us his unsightly stomach hair? Blows sparks and burns himself with incense? But what he DOES do is kill a guy with those incense sticks, just for interrupting his very weird ritual.

"Let's Up The Rating To 'R'"

You Failed To Get the Sex Hearts...Here, Have Sex

The mob boss needs hearts cut from couples in the midst of the sex act. But the two assassins he sent out failed in their mission, foiled by our hero. The boss was going to kill them, but instead he (clearly and obviously) changes his mind and give them a special room to "rest." Knowing that they'll fuck each other...and they're stupid enough to do it. *facepalm* Nudity here, with the added inappropriateness of creepy voyeurism!
