In the near future gas prices have reached astronomical highs nearing $40 a gallon. One man, Archie Andrews, an environmentalist elementary school teacher, is trying to discover an alternate fuel source. While experimenting with wheat grass, Archie accidentally cuts himself and stumbles upon a solution. That solution turns out to be blood. HUMAN BLOOD! But only a few drops aren’t enough…

A blood car is what this hilarious comedy suggest for solving the oil crisis. It deserves to be part of any list of the best low-budget horror comedies ever, side-by-side with the likes of Cannibal the Musical for instance.
