Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat is a 2002 splatter film directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis. It is a sequel to Lewis's 1963 cult classic original Blood Feast. Filmed under a working title of Blood Feast 2: Buffet of Blood and using the same grindhouse style as its predecessor, the film continues the story began in the original film, where a grandson of Fuad Ramses attempts to restart his grandfather's catering business. The film features a cameo appearance by John Waters, a fan of Lewis' work.
Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat had been completed a year before its release, but had trouble finding a distributor.Allmovie gave the film a positive review.
Fuad Ramses III (J.P. Delahoussaye) returns to Miami to reopen his grandfather's defunct catering company. This arouses the interest of the local sheriff (Mark McLachlan), who holds Fuad's family reputation in ill favor. Fuad is soon, however, asked to cater the sheriff's wedding by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lampley (Melissa Morgan), and fiancee, Tiffani (Toni Wynne). After finding his grandfather's statue of Ishtar, an Egyptian Babylonian goddess, in a utility closet, he becomes possessed by her evil spirit. He then goes on to create the 'blood feast' his grandfather failed to do, by killing young women in the area and making them into party food for the wedding.
The film had its world premiere at the 2001 Butt-Numb-A-Thon in Austin, Texas. It had its UK premiere at the Dead by Dawn Edinburgh Horror Film Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland on 31 March 2002, and was released on DVD by Media Blasters' horror label Shriek Show on 29 July.
