What happens

Vampirella is a 1996 American superhero film, which was part of the Roger Corman Presents series. It was based on the Vampirella comic book. The film was directed by Jim Wynorski, who said in 2013 that it was the one film he regretted making. "I can look back on it today and just say 'Oh well', but back when the memories were fresh and the blood on the floor was yet to dry, it was painful to even edit", he said. "What went wrong??? Wrong choice for the star, massive union problems in Vegas, studio interference, theft, accidents, 112 degree heat, you name it, we had it happen. But at least I got to see Soupy Sales perform."
