Imagine... a man. Then imagine another man. Two brothers. With blood-red eyes. skin as white as bone, and mouths full of stories. These are the Blood Brothers. And today is the day they're slated to die.
The Blood Brothers present... brings you its ultimate installment, the final night of the Blood Brothers' lives as they face execution for their many crimes in the sinister, off-the-books mental hospital run by the malevolent Doctor Queen. The bad Doctor has invited a select audience of the wealthiest and most powerful to watch the boys fry, but before they can be granted the release of death, they must host one final anthology of the horrific, mauled-from-the-headlines tales that are their stock and trade. They must provide the entertainment at their own execution.
Whether you've been following this year's Blood Brothers storyline or not, The Blood Brothers Present... Bedlam Nightmares is an accessible, unforgettable night of terror and inhumanity in the tradition of the Grand Guignol. Come bear witness to what might be the end of the Blood Brothers... execution-style.
