The Bloodstained Lawn
It´s about a group of aristocrats (a husband, a wife, and the wife´s brother) who are literally draining the blood of the people. They pick up the dregs of society–prostitutes, homeless hitchhikers, etc–and take them back to their isolated villa with its weird crimson-colored “bloodstained” lawn. They feed them drinks and weird drugs and engage them in wild orgies before hooking them to a strange machine which drains all the blood from their bodies,which they then package and sell in wine bottles!
