The film was developed by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis in the 1970s after their college graduation. The duo conceived the original script as an exploitation film designed to break the duo into the film industry, but it went unproduced. The concept was subsequently revisited to serve as the second film in a proposed Tales from the Crypt film trilogy greenlit by Universal Pictures following the success of the first film spinoff of the HBO series, Demon Knight (1995). Miller and Everhart were suggested for the cast by executive producer Joel Silver, though Adler and Katz wanted other actors to play the parts.
Filming took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where the production was troubled by limited night time and continuity issues due to Miller's constant improvisation and refusal to show up on set. Released in North America on August 16, 1996, Bordello of Blood grossed $5.6 million, turning a profit from its $2.5 million budget. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and fans of the series, but has since gained a fanbase, becoming a cult film.
Screenplay
A group of treasure hunters led by Vincent explore a forest, until they find a cave containing the coffin of Lilith, mother of all vampires. Vincent takes out a box containing the four sections of her heart and puts it in her body, reviving her. Lilith awakens and kills all the treasure hunters, except Vincent, who subdues her with the key from Demon Knight.
After having a fight with his sister Catherine, Caleb Verdoux goes to a dive bar, where an odd man named Jenkins tells him of a brothel hidden in a funeral home. Caleb and his friend Reggie visit the address, where the mortician McCutcheon forces them at gunpoint to climb into a coffin that takes them to vampiric prostitutes led by Lilith. Lilith kills Reggie and turns to Caleb.
When the police fail to find Caleb, Catherine reluctantly hires Rafe Guttman, a cynical and sarcastic private investigator. Rafe tracks Caleb's trail to the bar, where Caleb's friends direct him to the funeral home. At his first daytime visit, it appears to be just a funeral home. After a tip from Jenkins, Rafe revisits the funeral home that night. He discovers the funeral home is a front for a corrupt organization run by Reverend Current. Rafe overhears Lilith interview a woman, Tamara, followed by Tamara's scream and a body hitting the floor.
On his third visit, Rafe is admitted into the brothel and approached by Tamara, who is now a vampire. Rafe tricks her into letting him strap her to a torture rack so he can investigate further, finding Jenkins decapitated in a coffin. While fleeing, Rafe drops his wallet, allowing Lilith to find his address. Having tasted Rafe's blood, Lilith takes an interest in Rafe and tries to seduce him. When Catherine arrives, Rafe follows and tells her of the brothel's activity. They alert the police, but the police dismiss Rafe as a fraud when they find no evidence. Meanwhile, Vincent destroys the key, freeing Lilith.
As Catherine looks over footage where she confronted Lilith, she notices Lilith is not in the shot. Realizing that Rafe might be right, she calls him over. Caleb calls for help, asking them to meet him at the power plant. When they arrive, they discover Caleb is a vampire. Rafe and Catherine flee, but Rafe falls out a window, landing on the police chief's car. The vampires catch Catherine and bring her back to the brothel.
Rafe awakens in a hospital and is nearly killed by Tamara, posing as a nurse. Rafe exposes her to sunlight, killing her. Lilith prepares to feed on Catherine while Caleb watches. Rafe loads up on Super Soakers filled with holy water and raids the brothel, killing Vincent and McCutcheon. He meets up with Current, who has realized his error and is attempting to rectify it. Current tells Rafe that Lilith's heart must be removed from her body and cut into four pieces, as before she was found by Vincent. Rafe gives him a spare water gun and the two enter the brothel, spraying all the vampires, including Caleb, who burn and explode.
They find Lilith, who mortally wounds Current and flees after Rafe attacks her with an axe. Rafe finds Catherine, and they heading to Current's church to reveal the existence of vampires with its media equipment. Lilith returns, handcuffs Rafe to a railing, and attacks Catherine. Rafe uses a nearby laser hit Lilith in the heart, cutting it into four parts. As the pieces remain in her body, Lilith remains alive. As Lilith devolves into a hideous form and attacks Rafe, Catherine grabs a candle stand and stabs out Lilith's heart. Lilith's body burns and collapsing to the ground. The two have Lilith's remains burned and lock away the box with the heart pieces. Later, they sit in his car and Rafe fondles Catherine, which she seems more accepting of now. When he pulls back her skirt, he sees a pair of bite-marks on her thigh. Catherine, now a vampire, bites Rafe in the neck.

After graduating from USC in 1973, Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis wrote an early draft of Bordello of Blood, wanting to break into the film industry by making an exploitation film about "a whorehouse full of vampires". They pitched Bordello of Blood to producer John Milius in the 1970s, but ultimately it was not produced at that time, and the three wound up making 1941 instead, but Milius described the scripts for Bordello and another proposed film from the duo entitled Tank as being "pretty darn good".
Following the commercial success of the Tales from the Crypt film Demon Knight (1995), Universal Pictures greenlit two more Tales films, planning to make a film trilogy. The original proposed second film was Dead Easy (a.k.a. Fat Tuesday), a zombie film set in New Orleans, which never made it past the screenwriting stage because the producers felt the scripts leaned too heavily towards horror and lacked the series' humor. The producers also considered Quentin Tarantino's screenplay From Dusk till Dawn as a possible Tales from the Crypt film, as well as Peter Jackson's The Frighteners. During this development process, Robert Zemeckis was offered a contract with DreamWorks, and considering leaving Universal. To appease him into staying with the studio, it was agreed that a revised Bordello of Blood be produced as the second Tales film.
The production budget was $2.5 million. Gilbert Adler was hired to direct, having previously been a showrunner for Tales from the Crypt. Adler and A.L. Katz rewrote Gale and Zemeckis' script to make the film more modern. Corey Feldman, who was friends with executive producer Richard Donner and had previously acted in an episode of Tales, was cast in the movie as Caleb. Adler and Katz wanted Daniel Baldwin to play Rafe Guttman, and Robin Givens to play Lilith. Executive producer Joel Silver, however, wanted Dennis Miller to play Rafe, and Angie Everhart to play Lilith. Silver had recently produced a movie with a supermodel in a leading role, and while Everhart, whose only previous performance was a minor role in Last Action Hero, was not a trained actress, Silver thought "supermodel actresses" was "the next big thing". Everhart was introduced to Silver by Sylvester Stallone, who suggested her for the part of Lilith. Miller, who didn't want to make the movie, said he'd play the lead for $1 million, but Universal refused to put up this salary for Miller, so Silver cut $750,000 from the special effects budget to hire Miller.
The movie was filmed in Vancouver because of Silver's past union disputes, and Katz described the Canadian production crew as being inexperienced. In addition, Vancouver's limited night hours in July and August caused problems trying to film night scenes. Miller disliked his character's scripted dialogue and once he started filming, he proceeded to improvise nearly all of his dialogue. The Bordello of Blood shoot was rescheduled to work around the shooting of Dennis Miller Live, and the Canadian crew became angry at Miller because the filming schedule prevented their seeing their families on the weekends. On some days, Miller's assistant told the production that he was too tired to show up, which meant that some of Miller's scenes had to be shot without him with the script supervisor standing in for Miller. The cast became angry at Miller, and the script supervisor sometimes did not remember all of Miller's improvised dialogue, which led to continuity problems.
