FDTD3:THD had virtually the same plot at the original!!.. 2 escaped bank robbers and hostages/1 bandito and titular character escape to the Titty Twister/cantina. First half of the film is all bad guys on the run..then suddenly..BANG! It's Vampire central..everyone is locked in while the vamps all feed. The band continues to play throughout the slaughter. A small group manage to hide until they are forced to fight back...sunlight eventually does for the vamps and two of the protagonists survive. They even had the same parting shot of the view of the rear of the cantina and the Aztec temple it is part of...just in case we didn't realise it was the same place from the first one!
Overall the film was pretty poor, I thought...almost the same story retold badly..although I must confess the Ambrose Bierce element was a very good idea.
