Blood Sucking Freaks (originally released as The Incredible Torture Show) is a 1976 American exploitation splatter film directed by Joel M. Reed and starring Seamus O'Brien, Luis De Jesus, Viju Krem, Niles McMaster, Dan Fauci, Alan Dellay, and Ernie Pysher.

Set in New York City, the film follows a human trafficking ring masquerading as an experimental theater group, which stages Grand Guignol-style performances for audiences, who are unaware that actual murders and torture are being enacted onstage.

Filmed under the working title Sardu: Master of the Screaming Virgins, it was originally released as The Incredible Torture Show in November 1976.

[4] In New York City's SoHo district, Master Sardu runs a Grand Guignol-style theater with his assistant, the little person Ralphus.

The troupe put on grotesque, sadomasochistic shows featuring human-trafficked women whom Sardu and his performers brutalize onstage to audiences who are unaware that the spectacle they are witnessing is in fact real.

The group chain Silo in the theater basement, and force him to view their methods of mind control via physical torture of their victims, turning the women into submissive sex slaves, while Sardu espouses his philosophy behind his shows.

The troupe kidnap Natasha next, hoping to utilize her to lend artistic legitimacy to their shows and catapult them to Broadway and eventually Hollywood.

Natasha performs an elegant ballet routine for the audience that devolves into a striptease, culminating in her torturing and killing of Silo onstage.

In a tunnel under the theater, Natasha, still brainwashed, bludgeons Tom to death with a sledgehammer before joining the other slaves, who have proceeded to brutally kill and dismember Sardu and Ralphus.

[5] Filmmaker Eli Roth, who was inspired by the film, commented in a 2014 interview that it functions as a dark parody of the New York City theater world.

[18] In the intro to De La Soul's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, Plug One cites Blood Sucking Freaks as his "favorite Troma movie".
