An example\'s description should not consist entirely of \"See [other trope name]\", never refer to \"above\" or \"below\" examples (those indicators will be meaningless if the page is re-organised due to tropes being re-named), and using ampersands in place of the word \"and\" looks lazy.

With the popularity of the ''Series/{{Batman}}'' television series, director Jerry Warren decided to make his own bat-focused superhero film. After winning a settlement from being sued for copyright infringement, Warren re-released the film under the title ''She Was a Hippy Vampire''. Like Warren's other films, it's seen by modern critics and filmmakers as almost watchable. ''Almost.''
The film's ColdOpen features two so-called "Bat Girls" initiating a third by giving her a ComicStrip/DickTracy-esque wrist radio and making her drink a red concoction which turns out to be a smoothie (because they're only "synthetic" vampires).

Batwoman follows up her failed guard duty with a failed seance, then with a failed search of the nearby beaches -- during which all her Bat Girls are kidnapped and taken to Rat Fink's ElaborateUndergroundBase (where he keeps his Mole People).

* StockFootage: Warren used footage from the Universal Pictures film ''TheMolePeople'' (itself not great, though miles ahead of this thing) for Professor Neon's monsters and ElaborateUndergroundBase.
** Some of Rat Fink's footage is taken from an old Mexican wrestling movie.
** The mugging murder scene is almost certainly stock footage as well, since the three Batgirls who watch it are never in the same shot (and don't do anything about it, and the guys involved in the robbery never show up again).
** ...not to mention the "Dwight D. Eisenhower the Weird-Accented Nightwatchman Scene"...or the shot in the club with the band when Mike goes "Oh no! Just when I thought this movie couldn't get any worse...Ringo's in it!". Heck! Any part or shot in the movie that looks good is stock footage.
* UglyGuyHotWife: The Mook and the Batgirl. (Sounds like a sitcom title.)
* VegetarianVampire: The prologue explains away the "vampires" this way.
