Wikipedia article
'Blood Dolls' is a 1999 direct-to-video comedy horror film written and directed by Charles Band. The film stars Jack Maturin, Debra Mayer, and Nicholas Worth. The story was conceived by Band (using the name Robert Talbot).
Plot
Virgil Travis is a wealthy psychopath who lives in seclusion in his mansion with his little person butler (Phil Fondacaro) and his murderous, clown make-up-wearing henchman. Tortured and mutated as a child by a woman who put him through body transforming procedures, Virgil has an abnormally sized head. Basking in the suffering, degradation, and death of others, Virgil has already kidnapped an all-female rock group who he keeps imprisoned to satisfy his perverse amusement. He creates a trio of twisted living dolls (Pimp, Sideshow, and Ms. Fortune) to murder those who have wronged him; Virgil doesn't anticipate meeting his match and finding love, both of which come in the form of a woman who is even more evil and twisted than he.
The film has two different endings:
# After his new wife sees his deformed head, she is horrified, so the dolls attack her while Virgil has the house filled with poison gas. Ms. Fortune frees the rock group, who escape with the dolls.
# Rather than be disgusted, she finds him attractive for his evil and intellect. She then says that together, the world is theirs for the taking.
